Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid Player (pg620)

Biggest club in the world though. If I was a player I think I would probably want to play for them. It's the prestige.

Add in to the fact Madrid is geographically in one of the best places in Europe for cuisine, weather and overall lifestyle. If you are a millionaire footballer, the life you can have there is unbelievable.

I love Manchester, grew up here and all that, but I look forward to the day I can secure a life elsewhere and move away from it.

It's not near the sea! Give me Barcelona or Blackpool any day.

Why do so many City fans do our club down? We won five trophies last year, sit top of the club rankings, have the best manager the world has ever seen, pay top wages, have the best training facilities anywhere in the world and some of the worlds best ever players have had their best years here.
Again, why do so many City fans do us down?

I have this very same argument with a City mate who I used to go all over the country to watch the blues with. He bangs on about the pull of the Spanish clubs and Haaland will want to go to Real bollocks. We have never lost a player to Barca who we were thar mithered about. Torres went we weren't that bothered. Gundo wasn't going to get another contact because of his age. Cancelo we couldn't wait for him to fuck off there. Sergio was out of contract. Real Madrid have never took one of our players. The grass seems to be always greener with some blues when it really isn't. Small time thinking, this isn't the bad old days.
 
lol...

Real Madrid with Mbappe, Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrigo, and they are crying about the Premier league. City is the only chance now to stop Real winning another 5+ CLs in the next 10 years. Stupid team.

Madrid only cry about City, not the premier league in general.

Madrid know what happens when you have too many galacticos in one side, there is a lack of balance. Look at PSG the last couple of seasons. It very rarely, if ever works.

Tbf, we haven’t had too many players whom Real Madrid probably wanted! Barca, maybe!

That said, the lure of being in a perennial 2 horse race, living the high life in the sun, and keeping the Mrs happy are all ridiculously strong draws.

Yes, Pep is here now, but his contract is up in 1 year and unless he re-ups for another 1-2-3 yrs, City will not be the draw they are right now IF Real & Barca are seriously interested in a player.

The British weather, esp up north, the limited places to live, and even the lure of London are all impediments for some players.

Manchester is an acquired taste. Many top, top players simply would not want to acquire it, IF Paris, London, Madrid, Barcelona, and possibly even Munich are an integral part of the decision process.

They wanted Sergio. Season after season there were trying their best to unsettle him and they were very interested in Silva and no one is going to tell me they wouldn't have been interested in KDB. We have a long list of current and past players who they would have taken in a heartbeat. This club, City, are the best run club in the world with everything that a player could want we don't lose players that we want to keep.
