Just seen that piece. Another disgusting and unbalanced article from the BBC. It seems to be based on estimated current squad value for insurance purposes ie not what we have actually paid for players. But it doesn't make that clear and doesn't explain how they arrived at the figures. Meanwhile the the second paragraph is the usual snide (racist?) dig at our owners.The new BBC article will kick it off again no doubt.
"Man City have assembled first 1 billion euro squad", I'm not linking it.
It’s annoying as it’s based on their value now but they make it sound like we’ve spent that amount on getting this team.The new BBC article will kick it off again no doubt.

Brilliant news. Shows how shrewd investment can reap dividends both on and off the pitch. I shall scan the Financial Times for the acclaim our owner and executives deserve.

On BBC teletext it says spent £906m on current players, no mention of insurance value ?Just seen that piece. Another disgusting and unbalanced article from the BBC.

Yep- it’s quite amazing how ,out of the alleged millions of hacked documents there are supposed to be, how quickly the ones concerning us were weeded out.The Pinto case is key on a couple of fronts... his likely conviction will undermine the evidence he has obtained but, more importantly, I very much doubt he’s acted alone in this process. He may have obtained the leaks himself but he will have had contacts within the sport who have paid him for info. etc. I doubt by the end of his trial that we will be the only ones in the dock... as much as anything the judicial process will no doubt take a wider look at the leaks which simply cannot be all about us - common sense tells you that there’s other clubs with much bigger skeletons in the cupboard.
If you clink on the link on the online story it takes you to a list by CIES (a Swiss stats group) which refers to the indemnity value of the squads. There is no player breakdown so perhaps it is just some more fake news. The transfer cost of our Euro squad is about £600m so it must be based on estimated value.On BBC teletext it says spent £906m on current players, no mention of insurance value ?
No links on teletext though is there. What you read is what you get.If you clink on the link on the online story it takes you to a list by CIES (a Swiss stats group) which refers to the indemnity value of the squads. There is no player breakdown so perhap it is just some more fake news.
Perhaps he's a Porto fan, and took umbrage about us calling Hulk "not incredible" when we played them.Yep- it’s quite amazing how ,out of the alleged millions of hacked documents there are supposed to be, how quickly the ones concerning us were weeded out.
Unless sr. Pinto has a personal grudge against us and made it his priority to find this ‘evidence’ quickly, then one would get the impression that there may be unseen hands driving him behind the scenes.
Access to a parallel universe might be easierHope you have a microscope.
Just as well I wasn't drinking when I read the last bit.Could also view it as circa £250m per trophy last season, significantly better than the £600m+ Liverpool spent for a return if just one trophy, or the £700m+ spent by man utd in converting themselves into a circus.
So, Juventus will see his jersey sponsor deal with Jeep increase from 16 M to 50 M. Of course, Jeep's holding company EXOR is controlled by the Agnelli family.
I wonder if UEFA will put up an investigation and devalue the contract.
Wayne Rooney likes this.As everyone knows... “the old lady is a whore”...
