Antony is definitely in the conversation, £81m for the fidget spinner.

They haven't given him away for peanuts YET

I was talking to a friend yesterday who had been talking to a coach driver who also drives for City. He claimed that behind the scenes City are terrified of what United are doing with youth recruitment and with Amorin's potential. He listed a bunch of youth team players that are all the next class of 2030. I've not slept all night due to worry

Go for a lie down in a darkened room for a while.
You'll be fine.....

Donny van de £80 million.

Bought for £40 million and sold for 750k.

He just needs to ask how these supposedly next set of rag wonder kids are competing with City youngsters at the same age group

 

[Roachy]

For me it's Veron. £28M in 2001 which is £155M in today's money. Lasted a season and a half and was so one footed Soccer AM actually had a piece of him every week showing how many times he used his left foot(It wasn't a lot)

Yes, he was meant to be a stellar signing at the time. Unfortunately the wankers got a decent chunk off Chelsea for him as well.

This man is a coach driver? In charge of other people's safety? When he's obviously strung out on Diazepam and Valium?

I think I'll give him a wide berth.

Glazers have sons to take up the cash cow
They’re going nowhere

Need to make sure those sons have lots of kids too please

But a lot of players are okay before they go there. Maybe nothing to write home about, but adequate in what they do. Then the rag media goes into overdrive and tells us all this new player is the final piece in the jigsaw that will return them to the top. The fanfare begins, the ticker tape flows endlessly, the cheerleaders are out in force - and his debut is a flop. A resounding slap in the face to all those who followed the usual hype. His next game is so-so, followed by another poor show, then he's on the subs bench for the duration of the season. Within six months he's on loan to Hartlepool - rag career over.
But you look into the stats of the player and your start to think: 'Well, he was pretty good at (whichever club), and he was certainly scoring for fun at (another club), and it was rumoured that Barca were looking at him, so what the fuck happened?"

Answer: the rags.

The club is rotten in every department. Top to bottom.

The stats show that Hojland and Kirkzee were shite before they were signed for big money.

Hahaha forgot all about that bargain they got, Cheers for that :)

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I know there are very many worthy candidates we could consider here but.....

Who else thinks Hojland is the biggest failure/waste of money and overrated player (term used loosely) to pitch up at the swamp yet?

He is absolutely hopeless, so ineffective and bland it's untrue.

Daily Blind. Stevie Wonder could have seen that one was a dud!
Memphis de Pie
Sweinsteiger came over to a huge fanfare and left via the back door very quietly 6 months later…..

Agent tent peg did a good job for us......

Is that a reference to Ana Ivanovic?

Okay, I give up....

WTF does TWGC stand for....? I've tried to work it out and failed so I have to ask the question.

At last! My first Rag lol

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

I wonder will the bloke from Qatar come back in for them. I can see Radcliffe wanting out in the next year or two plus the Glazers are not getting any younger.

We'd soon know whether he's serious or not as the photographs will hold a true likeness and dress sense (as opposed to him being portrayed as the man from Armani or similar)........

 

[Protein Junkie]

A stodgy 0-0 draw will go down well in an absolute borefest.
No doubt we will see copious replays of the family man’s “wonder goal” v the Tarquins whilst balancing the finest in Persian rugs on his chest.
Cnuts.
