Let's All Laugh At... Lets all laugh at Man City

Might have ramifications in our pursuit of G-Lo.

Think Atletico's first choice is Felix, but with Griezmann supposedly off, they're going to have some decent wedge and holes to fill, and they're supposed to hold an interest.

City just spent £62m for Rodri

He looks well chuffed about it and all:

[NickHSpurs]

Considering how much they've spent it's mad Rodri is their record buy at £62m

Wages mate, that's the thing nowadays. Bernando was a bargain last year, but they could offer him insane wages for a person who was initially bought as a backup.

Bernardo was bought 2 years ago for €50m

 

[Gassin's finest]

So much for that FFP investigation then...

 

[punkisback]

That's the real quiz!
Apologies guys, yes 2 years ago. But i consider it a relative snip when we were quoted £40m for Grealish!

They don’t buy mega stars, they have a philosophy and get players to fit. But their financial muscle allows them to just hoover up the talent they need when they need it. They don’t need to haggle clubs down from their asking price, they don’t need to skimp on wages, or agents fees.

Just been announced on SSN that Sane has done his ACL.

Damn, he's a brilliant player. I hope it heals with no complications

From the BBC sports ticker:

David Silva has been named Manchester City's new captain.

Rather than pick Vincent Kompany's replacement himself, City manager Pep Guardiola waited for all his players to return to training before letting them decide in a private vote.

The outcome was Silva, who will leave the club at the end of the season, getting the captain's armband.


That's actually quite a nice thing to do.

 

[michaelden]

He's generally a decent guy I believe

 

[carmeldevil]

Shocked! I tell ya! Shocked.

 

[cider spurs]

Scouser's frantically preparing a petition as we speak.

 

[Marty]

Shocked! I tell ya! Shocked.

Fines should be a percentage of revenue, what the fuck do the Sheiks care about a sum that's only a week's wages for a star player?

The rest is in a brown envelope on someone's desk..

What was the difference between what city have done and what Chelsea did? Genuine question as I haven't read up much on either

One had thicker brown envelopes.

£300k?! I'm sure fining them less than De Bruyne's weekly wage will teach 'em.

One day the footballing authorities will realise fining clubs owned by billionaires is pointless.
