Anyone any idea what Man City's plans are for Doyle & McAtee who did so well at Sheff U last season?

Think City have priced Sheff U out of Doyle. Think they want £30m.

I was thinking loan rather than permanent signings. 30m for Doyle does indicate how difficult replacing Hamer will be if we end up selling him at a cut price fee.

This has been explained to you as well. You improve the team as a whole, 2 or 3 players who are better than we makes the side better.

The club would of always knew this was a possibility we’ve probably got a lot of targets already.

If he’s such a God like figure why are the only clubs rumoured to be after him Luton leeds and Leicester?

The guy I was replying to said he’s the best player in 50 years and we should retire the shirt yet for whatever reason no one seems to be offering anything like these figures

We really don't know who's after him!

There clearly isn’t a bidding war as leaks of transfers get stoked by parties with a vested interest

So Leicester,Leeds have been relegated to the same league as us and Luton will more than likely come straight back down . All the big clubs in the premiership shop at Harrods. Leeds and Leicester have the parachute payment and Luton have hit the jackpot with regards to income . But the latter is not a fashionable club and possibly favourites to come back down .
Plus if what we’re hearing he just wants to move back to Holland then there’s no chance he will sign for anyone in the UK .

MvE must have and u21 buddy who is desperate for a move to the West Midlands, right?

No club in Holland wiukd meet his wage demands and that looks very unlikely
Wolves offered £22m for a Bristol player - you think they’d have a look at hamer as the offer was turned down.

Replacing his set pieces will be another factor to consider in a replacement

Hamer being good at set pieces is a myth. Whens the last time he scored a direct free kick? We score about 1 in in every 70 corners he takes aswell
He's a phenomenal player, one of if not the best since the prem days, but his set piece attributes arent something id be worried about replacing. In fact it may be his only real weakness

I think we've only scored two since he's been at the club, once Matty James at Bournemouth and the other Kasey Palmer against Mickey Mouse FC

From what I understand it appears he has been offered a much higher salary by someone through his agent, hence rejecting our contract offer. It is not in Hamer & his agent's interest to start a bidding war as the lower the transfer fee the better deal he can probably command, so I don't think they will stoke anything other than to play on him being unsettled, and therefore possibly sitting tight so he can leave on a free if we don't play ball, much as Vik's agent did before his deal was finalised.
CCFC are the ones that need a bidding war, but until the last week the club were still probably holding out some hope of him re-signing, hence we haven't really been pushing that agenda. This has got someway to go before the final outcome is resolved.

You keep claiming this is the best player we’ve had in half a century - better than Wallace, Dublin, Keane, Hutchison etc
Yet there is no one banging on the door? You say the premier league shop at Harrods - well hamer is Fortnum and Mason isn’t he?
I think you said you’d heard about going to Holland. Whose buying him there?
SkyBlueSam01

We did score from a corner of his yesterday tbf...
I agree he's not the best but we still need someone who can actually whip a set piece - Palmer is the only one I can think of who could take over?

Before he went to West Ham I would be in total agreement but cannot see us poaching him now especially as they have European Football again next season.

Totally different player and totally different times , the game has moved on .
I’ve been watching the city ( ST) since I was 9 ( 52 ) years and yes he’s very special . As for who will buy him in Holland I have no idea I’m not ITK .
As for offers from clubs in the UK , I’m sure if he wants to return to Holland he’s told his agent not to push it here , there’s no point , hence no interest.

Robins says there has been interest here. Pretty common knowledge there’s been one offer it seems - robins said he’s been tempted by extra money
Covcraig@bury

But if he doesn’t want to stay in the UK then it’s not going to happen.
Grendel

He wants the biggest salary and that’s here - no one in Holland wants him or alternatively could afford his demands.

Let’s just sit back and see this play out. Me personally. I think DK will cut him loose in 12 months . He’s a free agent then with no one pushing him to sign for anyone .. I don’t think he wants to stay here , it’s more personal which I understand. I might be wrong but if he and his agent know it’s a big payday .

If he goes I’d want us to reinvest in a midfielder that can take his place and another young’un for depth. Adem Zorgane and Louie Sibley are my shouts.
