Yet there are still people on here deliberately constantly speculating that he wiil be leaving soon for amounts varying between £5 million and £20 million. I dont know what else the club can do to stop all this happening. For gods sake give us all a break and look forward to the new season with optimism for a change. Some of these comments are making us fans look like idiots and are damaging for everyones morale at a crucial time. Get behind CCFC for a change and stop moaning/speculating. I can expect this sort of thing from media outlets like The Sun and Wales Online who have other motives but not from people who are supposed to have the clubs interests at heart.
Somehow I don't see a few people speculating on a messageboard about how much a team like Brighton would have to pay for Zohore will have a direct bearing on the matter at all. Anyway, your version of what's come out of the club this summer regarding the sale of our centre forward is not quite the correct one, because there has tended to be the qualification that any bid needed to be at or above a certain level before City would contemplate doing business - what City have said is not quite "he's not for sale at any price".

City have done well to get Zohore signed up to a new deal which ensures that, if he did move this early in his contract, we'd be in with a good chance of getting a fee for him which would enable us to have a good chance of ending up with a squad which may be stronger overall than the one we have now come September.
