If that was the case, they were pretty stupid playing hardball with Stoke.
Jack Harrison to Manchester City - Official
- Thread starter Kjbert

I love this post. It's absurd and, at the same time, entirely possibly with this f'ing club
This is just picking up on what City Watch posted.
Manchester City are preparing to buy England under-21 midfielder Jack Harrison from New York City FC...
Buy means transfer fee. Transfer fee means GAM.

This part of the deal makes total sense to me. Jack's a good investment opportunity, especially if he's given playing time in England. NYCFC would love to sit on him if Jack were willing to stick around (he's not) and the club could afford to risk millions if his development stalled (they can't). For Man City the downside is cheap and there's no ticking clock on the upside, so why not loan him out and see what happens?
As for every other part of the MLS-MCFC-NYCFC love triangle, it all feels weird and icky and like it'll probably end Jules et Jim–style.
Frankly, if we are selling him, I could give a shit where he goes. Whatever helps the club the most. Seems likely that would be from the club with the same ownership, given the poo offers elsewhere.
How can you actually care? He’ll never play for city any more than Mix will. It’s all business, fellas. Grasp that, and stop sweating the appearances of any of it.
Team missing an o are cheap asses on capital expenditures. City has money to burn for it. They are buying annuities, dudes. It ain’t hard to figure out.

I think the Club expected to sell Jack in this window. That’s why they went out and bought his replacement in Medina.
I also think that CFG have had a price in mind all along. They threw Jacky out there to see what the bids would be. If none hit their price, CFG would just buy him themselves.

I don't think it's insane to think that what's best for Harrison is also what's best for the club. In the sense that if his career takes off, it makes coming to NYCFC a more attractive option for future prospects.
To the extent that I give a shit, that is the shit I give.
Thats semantics. Again, so who gives a shit where he goes? Not you. Not me. Not anyone, really .
Eta: nothing you say disputes my stance. I hope he does get what's best for him. But I give far less shits about that than what is good for NYC .
I see your autocorrect is also inserting spaces before periods, so I'm not crazy .
But will eventually become so .
Anyway, not disagreeing with you, just trying to assert the compatibility of your position with mine and perhaps many of the posts on the board that you appeared to be disagreeing with. (no period there?)
Uniting rather than dividing, if you will . Lol .
We agree there.
Do you believe, as I do, that Roberts is a better player than Harrison?
Sucks to see him go.
I'm sure this is has been addressed at some point, but for the increase in GAM that is coming, if they structure the transfer fee to say be paid half now and half in 2019, would NYCFC get 750K in additional GAM this and then another 750K (or whatever the number) next year?

I figure that to be near $5.7M. Weren’t there reported offers for more?
