Man City will be bricking it, they've sold three players to other premier league clubs this pre season. And they've tried to sell a fourth!

Wow. They read that room incredibly badly. I wonder how they got that so wrong?

Ok, you drive a hard bargain. I'll pay you ¥30* to get him out of your contact. I think that's a fair and equitable offer for someone who has only one years experience of grass cutting. Especially when there's better mowers about for less. *no need to check the exchange rate.

I think they've had the seventh highest playing budget for the past couple of seasons. I seem to remember seeing that on one of those wage charts that get posted on here from time to time. If I've remembered correctly and not just made that up it can't be sustainable without champions league...

Sorry mate I've jumped in with a 50quid offer for next Tuesday.

Can we get back to highlighting stupid posts by city fans on social media? The transfer 'saga' is nothing but hot air. Cucurella will be a city player if they pay us a fee that we find impossible to refuse. That's it. It's been that way since City's interest first became known. So please...

Or 35% off if they want to pay the add ons in advance?

I don't have a problem with the noise, it's part of the 'dance'. It's just that one line that keeps getting pushed by the press of man city walking away from the deal as if they're doing us a favour.

And every other post is seemingly arguing the toss with him.

Bloody hell, after months of tedious rumours and no action we finally get a bid and something to talk about and the thread descends into a battle of which journalist is more ITK. Jesus wept.

The one thing that annoys me about the reporting of this all summer is the 'City are willing to walk away from the deal if Brighton don't lower their asking price' line. We're not a market stall hawking our wares for sale where haggling is expected. They want to buy our player who we don't...

At last! Something concrete to get going on. Also: 30m? Hahahahahaha!!!!

This is true. At least at the start of the thread we had the giddy expectation/hope that City would actually, you know, make a bid and we could have an exciting transfer saga to while away the endless days of close/pre season. Now? We have nearly 4000 posts of bland repetition. It's a long...

That article tells us nothing. It quotes Romano's twitter post. Then says it 'understands' it'd take a bid in excess of 50m for Brighton to sell. It adds nothing to the 'saga' so we're exactly where we've been for the past however many weeks. Namely, City may or may not want him. If they do...

I quite like the idea of a footballing version of parent teacher evening. but yeah, I mostly agree with what you say. In a parallel world there is a Guardiola whose first job wasn't Barca. That would be fascinating to see how things would have panned out. My bet is that he would have found...

The lower leagues are great for teams being crap one season and good the next. Cooper took over Forest in the relegation places and in the same season got them promoted. Poyet took over a team in or on the edge of the relegation places and 18 months later we had waltzed our way to the title...

If you don't value the champions league why do you value winning it? I am not and never have said that Guardiola will win a shed load of top trophies at any club. He will however improve significantly any club, IMO. His record speaks for itself. If it was so easy why are they more succesful...

Re Guardiola being in management as long as Ferguson, I think you're right. 40 years is an incredible length of time to manage at the top. As for Barrow. Yes, why not? Are you saying that Barrow have no chance of ever getting promoted as Champions with their current resources(whatever their...

So why are you bothered by how many champions league titles he has(n't) won for Man City? If he took over the team now? Yes. If he took over the team a few seasons ago, same budget but the players would presumably be different. This is not a slight on Potter by the way, who is proving to be...

Yet Forest only won the league once in those years. As for your comment about money, I don't disagree. It's debatable which club has the stronger squad( City did after all win the league without a striker) but again I don't disagree that Klopp is an excellent coach. I'm not sure what points...
