Where did I say city didn’t own girona ?

All these fake news ,there was no time Nico was supposed to join girona from Barca

Happy Nico is succeeding at city

We don’t need him at Barca ,it was best for him to move because there was no way he is better than gavi or even FDJ

No need to tell lies ,enjoy your Nico in peace without fabricating lies ,him type reach 2 million for la masia

So I trained the Google AI to lie on my behalf.

I understand your pain.

Do you have any evidence Nico was sold to Porto because he wasn't better than Gavi & FDJ or should we just take your story lies?

andrewbaba44:

Wesley Fofana signed a lucrative 8 years contract with Chelsea..

In the first 4 years, he has only been involved in 36 premier league matches.. If this current season, he is still unable to play up to 20 league matches, he should be binned..

Nico was loaned out cause of the overbooking in central midfield under Xavi and his lack of defensive awareness (especially positionally) at the time which Porto improved on, we had to sacrifice a few midfielders after busi left and it was unfortunately him but you're right on city trying to get him since when he was at la masia though, we got him to resist the offers to sign a new contract

Was this not my point? Did I ever claim he was the finished article? Even at City he has been developing. What's surprising all of us is how QUICKLY he is adapting. That was why I even hyped him. Nobody has ever argued he was ALL that before he left Barca.

The point was City believed he could develop into a replacement for Busquets and tried to use Girona to steal him earlier when he was cheaper. And then tried again at Porto but got desperate when we had that bad patch end of 2024. Even our Chairman on video admitted we had planned to sign everyone we got in January by the next summer. Our bad form just made us start early.

Barca were literally dashing away Nico for free but somehow City didn't see to bid €8m then. They later stole him from Barca by paying £50m to Porto

Agenda na your mate

EmmanuelScott1:
Rooney nah weyrey 😁

Kilishihunter:
Girona probably wanted him on loan alongside some laliga clubs and abroad, laliga FFP rules also playing a part but it was Porto who showed the most interest and got him for cheap, even Barca had to still go back to buy some of the future sell on rights from them cause of the bad financial state, you guys have always had an interest in him from the academy but rodri's ACL injury fast tracked things like you indirectly stated meaning he'll still have been for the future if he was available and not been in consideration at that point that's where we converged till you shed more light

andrewbaba44:
And Barca even collected 20 percent from the Nico transfer fee paid to Porto

Ibime:
They were also hiding him from Spain so Spain won't overuse him in Rodris absence, that's why they weren't playing him though they needed him themselves. Someone without a single cap for Spain being protected from being overused by Spain. As if Zubimendi, Casado, Barrios and co went to Spain NT to count sheep.

Kilishihunter:
Even Rooney self dey yab am. Well Liverpool brought it upon themselves with their greed.

The statement just means, City fans don't want Spain to call him up just yet. We don't want De La Fuentes to run him to the ground like they've done to Yamal and Rodri. They should call up other Spanish midfielders & leave our Nico G alone.

You have to actually be faster than someone to get at them.

You're right. FFP rules meant Girona could only offer to loan him. Nico was already feeling like Valencia didn't use him well because he was on loan (Echeverri is facing the same issue at Leverkusen even though City advised him to go to Girona on loan). So he only wanted to consider clubs that wanted to buy him (apart from liking their set-up etc). That's why Porto came out on top. They offered to buy him permanently rather than loan him.

Even the sell-on rights, Porto outsmarted you guys. They bought the rights back from you before selling him to City. So the 20% was off the agreed upon price between Porto vs Barca. It wasn't 20% of what we paid Porto for him.

They should have tried playing him themselves instead of Gundogan and co. You have the unmatched ability to turn the mundane into a grand master plan. Someone isn't getting minutes for his club at 23 years old, you are hiding him from National team that have many capable players in his position. If you even stopped hiding him from Spain, na 10, 10 minutes he go dey play with the likes of Zubimendi around.

He is a prospective Girona probability that came good. City and Chelsea park many £10m players with prospects in Girona and Strasbourg on the percentage chance one in 10 or 20 will come good for the senior club. It is not a grand conspiracy or master plan.

If there was such solid belief in him, he would have been bought when Barca were literally giving him away for free, same as Julio Alvarez, Echeveri and others who were bussed straight in without going through roundabout feeder clubs, much less paying £50m for something Barca was begging you to come and take for free and now claiming you "stole".

The guy is nearly 24 years old, which one be hiding him from NT while he was not getting minutes at club level. He simply didn't make NT because he wasn't performing to NT standard at club level, there is no grand conspiracy, he was given shirt at City then dropped for shaky performances, and now he is doing well in the last month. They should drop him again just to "hide" him from NT, problem solved.

Kilishihunter:
Yeah porto took advantage of our financial mishaps to cut the sell on clause from 40 to 20%, same thing Chelsea wanted to do with fermin till he decided to stay. Well you got your guy at the end and I hope he keeps on doing well for you guys as a possible rodri replacement cause at the end we'll still share in some of the credit as academy graduate

Kilishihunter:
When it comes to defensive midfielders your body dey hot.
I wonder the number of innocent careers you for don scatter if you be maybe coach or sporting director, na so busquets for chop loan tired till he finally gets a resting place at las Palmas under you. Thank God say them give you caicedo to suit your self.

Pique had Ferdinand and Vidic ahead of him and was never gonna play ahead of them, went to Osssuna on loan, joined Barca, rest is history.

Thiago had Xavi and Inietsa ahead of him, went to Bayern, rest is history.

Palmer had KDB and Foden in front, went to Chelsea, rest is history.

No matter how you wanna twist it. Aging Busquet was ahead of of Nico, Xavi had Nico yet was still crying for Zubimendi. Aside all these, Nico was in and out of the team at Valencia on loan and on his return, was never gonna start ahead of Dejong, Pedri and even Gavi. No chance at all. His departure from FCB was needed for his overall development as a player.

He's doing fine though lol...

Twist what exactly?

Do you think CR7 was the player he ended up being when Wenger wanted to steal him to Arsenal? Would it be easy to steal a player if their end product was already matching their potential?
