Another hit piece.

Intellectual mumbo-jumbo.

Considering his own apparent position of influence, does he realise just how ironic his subtitle actually is?

Another little goebbels in the making...

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

As much as many people on here want it to be a big story, it's really not. Just standard legal stuff between both partys.

I think other parties have already decided it's big stuff for us...and that's entirely for them to pontificate on...

Foden deserves to be one of the highest, if not highest paid players in the PL as he’s the best English player in it by far imo.

Hes the best player in the PL

 

[Stephen230]

Hes the best player in the PL

That’s up for debate.

What isn’t, is that if he stayed at the exact same level he’s at now for the next 10 years, he’d go down as one of the all time great English players.

The scary thing is, as good as he is right now, there’s clearly room for not insignificant improvement yet.

Khaldoon’s skin does look the same colour as Sheikh Mansour’s skin.

Absolute rank amateurs. Just how does it get past the editor?

The only other players in that debate are in the same team

I’m sorry but I’m going to agree to disagree with you on this. There is not a single midfielder in the premier league better in his position and I include Kev in that too. Phil is probably the main reason we’ve won the league this season and not just for his goals either.

The thick **** obviously can’t see it’s the red clubs that are playing the victim cards , you actually couldn’t make this shit up.

They will never see what they don't want to see!

I watched that shite Soccer Aid game last night and spotted Wilshere. I told my ERO that when Jack was 18yrs old he was absolutely fantastic. From about eighteen and a half he fucked it all up and never reached the level he should have. Foden is the opposite. He's got better and better, and he's still hungry to make the improvements to become one of the best the PL has seen.

Playing at international level (plus injuries) did nothing for Wilshere and lots of other young players. Playing for a manager like Southgate will do nothing to help Foden develop either. Phil looked shattered at the end of the season. He needs a rest instead of becoming a hate figure for the toxic English media which I fear is going to be what happens over the summer. In fact it has started already.

Just put TalkShite radio on for 5 minutes while I got changed & Jeff Stelling was saying how city are "using emotional blackmail" with their latest statements?
I mean WTF is he on about, has he had his head up his arse for the last 10 years? as someone has said before you keeping backing a dog into a corner it will eventually fight back, you keep pushing a stick into a hornets nest you will get a reaction sooner or later,
The amount of shit we as a club & fans have had to put up with from the media & other fans over these last few years has been unrelenting & unforgivable, I find it remarkable no journalists have been phisically attacked by fans for the shite they have been spouting day after day, what do they expect the club to do?
I just hope we as a club take the twats to the cleaners & make them wish they had never started this shite.

So the uk sports media are bang at it again...with englands defeat against iceland they led with an image of Saka who only played for a fraction of the game....

Its the Raheem Sterling treatment again

And yet some (outside of city especially) cant see that our owners are being portrayed the same way - as all bad and the enemy

Racism is alive and kicking in this country.

I cannot believe that they (sports tabloids) can do it and not be held accountable - its basically inciting racist treatment

They either need taking to court or a strong government to just shut the fuckers down

About to talk about this on talksport, ‘are black English players being made a scapegoat by the media’.

Pretty sure Phil scored two goals in the final match of the season to seal us the title, one of them within 2 minutes of the match starting. Not sure how that performance makes him look 'shattered' to you, unless you were using hyperbole.

If Phil doesn't want to play at the International level he can always go the Ben White route. Up to him, but clearly the lad wants to play for England as of right now.

My reference to Phil was about the Cup Final where he looked dead on his feet. He has played a lot of football. I am not saying he should quit international football but flagging up concern that he is set to become England's latest scapegoat with the media and the southern-based happy clappy England fans who hate City.

Given the chance, his goals will shut the fuckers up
