And, as it now seems, without CL football, couldn't really afford to.

He said at the time that the tears were to do with the journey he and his family had been on. He didn't pretend it was for the fans. There was no fakery involved. He's just made us 62 million quid. I'm not dropping him from my Fantasy League Team.

Biss isn't on the list. Man City have two on there having sold Sterling to Chelsea and Jesus to Arsenal this summer, but I wouldn't put my money on them getting relegated.

I've been over to Blue Moon for a bit of schedenfreude. The wailing and gnashing of teeth continues amongst some. Whilst on there I noticed a comment from a username from round these parts, who says that selling players is a recipe for relegation. I wondered whether this is true, so took a...

That was Romano's tweet from yesterday. His most recent one is: 1555292380227575812 So keen to rush towards clicks that he didn't stop to check his spelling of Colwill.

Let's Gazump Them!!!

Saw that. :laugh: They wasted seven weeks teasing and unsettling a player that they were never prepared to pay the fee for. Their idiotic and impotent meddling led to the player submitting a transfer request and he'll now end up strengthening one of their rivals. Yes... they've come out of...

We're fans. He was an employee. He did exceptionally well for us: player of the season in the year we got our highest ever points total and highest finish. He earned the big money move and he wanted it. I've absolutely no problem with that. The club seems to have played this perfectly...

The club was sold. The profits from the sale would be Abramovic's, so may be frozen, but Chelsea's are not as they have new owners who are not linked to Putin.

I am. I've seen very few other players with an engine like his and the fact that its combined with the technique of a Barca graduate make him something special. I think that he will be going to the World Cup in November. Spain look to be planning to play with wing backs and Alba and Cucurella...

The same number as Danny Welbeck from eight more games. Two less than Neal Maupay, having played one more game. In EPL games he has scored one more goal and has two assists less than Aaron Connolly, albeit in a dozen less games. He's a very promising youngster, not yet a proven EPL striker.

Chelsea's challenge for the league last season collapsed when Chillwell and Reece James got injured. Tuchel's system only works with wing backs and he only had full backs. I guess that he doesn't want to get caught out again. Alonso is rumoured to be off to Barca. They were also trying to buy...

Its not glee, but if we have to accept that he's off, this outcome, after City's summer long impression of the UK's Brexit negotiation team, is quite funny. Especially because Chelsea previously walked away from buying Ake because City priced him at £50m. Nice bit of trolling from the West...

If Chelsea pay us £50m+ I'd like to see us use that to massively outbid City for whoever their next choice LB is, just for a laugh.

I don't believe a word of it, but, if there's any truth, then they could have him for the £30m that City offered. ... If they throw in Conor Gallagher.

Indeed. Man City have walked away from this deal in the same way that a teenager with no ID 'walks away' from a deal with a large nightclub doorman. Come back on another night with (over 50 million copies of) the appropriate documentation and you'll have no problems.

True, There are also some over there saying that they should now just pay the £50m. Read Naylor's tweet again lads:- The Albion consider Cucu "a rarer and better player than (£50m) Ben White". In other words £50m won't cut it. I suspect that City's dubious machinations may have now led to...

I see that City's thread is now full of concern trolls saying that no player will want to sign for us now that Bloom has shown that he won't be a pushover. That will be why nobody has signed for Spurs in the last decade. Palace's hostage taking valuation of Zaha has also prevented them from...

Manchester City players with more than 20 appearances in 2021/22 Cancelo bought for £58.5m in 2019 Silva - £44m 2017 Ederson £36m 2017 Stirling £57.53m 2015 sold for £50.58m Mahrez £61.02m 2018 Rodri £56.43m 2019 De Bruyne £68.4 2015 Foden U23 graduate currently rated at £80m+ Laporte £58.5m...

Veltman came on in the second half, not match fit and playing on the wrong side. He gave away the penalty for their second goal.
