The OS (Txiki with his cardie) and the Beeb and Sky apps all leading with it.

Shearers record is toast

Great news but seems very unlike City. I wonder if this is the start of a new era of massively long contracts, to get around financial restrictions

Doesn't do anything for restrictions. The loophole Chelsea were using have been closed and capped at five years, and that allowed you to spread the transfer fee (of which there isn't one here) over the contract.

Mate, if we do indeed come out on top believe me when I say we're going to milk it for fucking years! We've got shit loads of ideas already and I'm sure our fans will come up with many more ;)

Superb. I cannot wait

I thought the Chelsea 7 year contract nonsense caused PL to limit contracts to 5 years? (sorry to poo-poo this?)

Isn't that something to do with the cost(?) only being spread over 5 years for accounting purposes? The actual length can be longer

Me having a quick peek at RAWK and Red Cafe after the news broke. To say they are triggered is an understatement....

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Tap in merchant.

Leeds fans said he was going to Elland Road :-)

 

[Blue Til Death]

Me running round the sofa celebrating this unbelievable news and giving the Spanish rags the shut the fuck up treatment :-) .. Chuffed to fuck.. !

9.5 years? I make it 115 months :)

Why are our rivals so upset about his extension? I thought he's just a League 2 level striker?

Well that’s a crazy bit of news on a Friday

I think he’s just a genuine superstar.

The money he generates off the pitch is something we don’t have with Foden who is the only other player I can think we’d give this type of deal too

I bet some of the theories on there are hilarious!

 

[mscenterh750]

115 ;)

 

[N1985]

Now let's give him some fucking decent service. Come on City!

 

[Blue Til Death]

Thought he was off to Real?

He will be in 2034 mate…

 

[give it to gordon]

This is amazing, bonkers, surreal, mind blowing, piss boiling, unbelievable,

 

[superwatsonwatson]

114 month contract, so close.

I like it. I’ll call it a 115 month contract from now on.

Damn, hopefully he don't fall off a cliff like Rooney in his late 20s
