Really nice lad Barry. Fabulous player too. Hopefully Jack makes the same decision as him and makes his move to win trophies.

My brother and his kids were in that really posh resort In Portugal watching a City pre season game a few years ago.
A fella in a baseball cap, shades and a southern accent rocks up on his own, spots the kids’ City shirts and asks our kid if he can sit with them to watch the game. It was only after full time did they realise it was Gareth Barry. He had been injired at WBA and was recovering from surgery. Took pictures with the kids and after he left they discovered he had paid for the drink and food bill for everyone. Top top man and he loves City

Just to be clear. This was a travesty of reporting. De Gea and the rest were not accused of organising sex parties, they were accused of organising gang rape parties. I feel like that's an important distinction. As usual the MEN takes the line you'd expect, calling them "abusive, non-consensual sex parties"

How didn't I miss this news? Which other Spanish player involved?
 
Still cannot understand this deal over somebody like Kane. We have Sterling and Foden who play their regularly now and with Mahrez and Bernardo in the other side it just doesn’t seem right as we won’t get anywhere near the price if we try to offload one of those players.

Our deals need to be focussed on a proven goal scoring forward, Grealish is just a bonus, for some.

Love hearing those sort of stories its nice knowing some footballers can give time too. Myself and my old man met him at Manchester airport when we were heading on holidays, Haven't a clue where he was going but he chatted away to us no problem about football and no bother getting a photo with him he seemed like a real genuine lad.

Because it's not one or the other and you constantly need to get better. We didn't *need* KDB back in 2015 but he eventually strengthened our side. Grealish is 25 and can go on to be a world class player at this club and help us win major trophies.

That’s fine, but when you have a wealth of players that you would have to move on to accommodate such a player, in this climate, then it just seems a little off.

We’ll see, mate.

Bernardo doesn't wanna be here mate.

Could be more to it though. Stories are Bernardo doesn’t want to be here, whoever it is I never want to keep an unhappy player. Also speculation of needing British players if anything changes any time soon. The main reason though is he is a very good player.
 
he did like kyle's post on instagram but a tons of footballers from other teams did including almost all english teammates so I wouldn't read too much into it

We don't have to move on a wealth of players. Bernardo wants to leave and Pep loves Grealish. It's worth bearing in mind that we don't have a player like Grealish in our side. A player so adept at progressive carries, take-ons, operating in tight spaces and volume of chance creation. It's not a luxury, it's an upgrade.

It means absolutely nothing. They are friends and colleagues, it’s normal behaviour. But I do like the fact that we know Grealish has watched a video of Walker showing off his PL medals. Walker is a player that had a similar (ish) decision to make, and was rewarded for making the right choice. It’s good to know Jack has seen it, even if it means sod all in the context of his transfer.

I’m hoping it opens things up more against teams who sit back. If you have kdb, Foden, grealish etc it would be hard to contain them all, hopefully leaving one free to create. Who knows time will tell
