JJetset is Jermain Jenas after all
How dare you! He‘s quite clearly an anthropomorphic plane.

Arrogant toss-pot. Seems to believe that he is 'unsackable'. Trust me, if City underachieve this year, he'll be shown the door. Albeit, Pep will likely try to get in front of it and resign, in order to save his 'flawless' reputation as being the best coach of all time. Absolutely despise the prick. And yes, he may very well be a good coach. But until he is successful with a team, that doesn't have the incredible advantages of Barca, Bayern and City, then we'll never know just how good he actually is. In the PL, I would rate Klopp, Tuchel and even the likes of Potter and Dyche as being right up there as some of the best. Yeah, I know the latter two haven't won anything. But you look at what they have achieved with 2% of what City has, and you have to admire them. I don't admire Pep at all. Until I see otherwise, he will always be known as the ultimate check-book manager. (1bn on players in five years at City... wow).
I would put Nuno's career with Wolves in that list as well.

Grow up, it's football.

Kane set this thing in motion and clearly thinks he can just say stop.
But behind the scenes at city there could still be quite a bit of momentum to get this done, with promises made, bridges burnt and reputations on the line. And if monsour takes an vague interest and says 'make it so', then the deal will go through at full price+ despite these twitty reassurances from kane.

Until the window is shut anything can happen

Give him a new contract. 50k per week, plus 200k for every free kick he scores or 100k for every free kick he lets someone else take.

I just can't get my head around a player who orchestrates a move, very publicly and then it fails and quickly forgotten. Effectively doesn't want to play for his club, clearly criticising the club indirectly with their actions and comments. Is the players commitment compromised , should the holding club demand some duty by not offering a new contract as the player should be humble and want to demonstrate their 100% commitment. Money should not be the solution-the players should be apologetic to the club and supporters in some form. A clear line needs t be drawn before it can all move on.

Does everyone believe every newspaper report. I never bother with them, they make up way too much bullshit for clicks and sales and then just move on to the next story.

It seems like people still trust the newspapers. If they knew how it worked (sell advertising then have to create stories for the space they need to fill) then they would give the required amount of salt to these articles. They are called stories for a reason.

Gerrard nearly did it, wanted to join Jose and Lamps at Chelsea... ended up being an even bigger legend.

Draw the line under it, see how the season plays out. If he stays beyond next summer then it can be passed off as a learning experience, he doesn't know how he could have ever wanted to leave, family club, yada yada...

Ah man. That almost makes it worse - put up with all the media BS and now find myself drawn to what Jamie f***ing Caragher is saying!!
To be fair to him he wrote an excellent article some time last week about the situation as well.

Edit - a couple, actually:

Are journalists that aren’t obviously attached to a club allowed to take sweeteners from them ? Because it’s blatantly obvious that city have quite a few on the payroll.

He wont go this season now, I mean how big a fucking idiot does he want to make himself look, and I highly doubt it will be a January window move for him.

Remember when Delph turned down City, made a nice video to the Villa fans, then joined City a few days later anyway? Hilarity!
No idea why that's popped into my head, or if it has any relevance to this situation. Anyway, as you were.
