Shearer, great footballer but thick as fuck, should stick to painting his garden fence

Doesn't even make sense to say "for £49m? no" as an answer to the question does he improve City.

He either does or does not.
 
We seen the management success Shearer made with his short stint taking over Newcastle, he related them his boyhood club...

Imagine the intelligent tactical teamtalks..

"Alright lads, get stuck into them !! get to the byline and whip in a cross for Shola to head in.."
 
Yes, really got on my wick that. I expected this sort of crap from Shearer, also saying that he thinks Chelsea will win the league and that the top 4 will be the same but not necessarily in the same order (in other words, City not in the top 2), but every single report on the BBC website that mentions Sterling says we have paid £49m. Er...no... we have not paid £49m... you have to search through a lot of reports to actually find the only BBC report that mentions it is £44m plus add-ons, and I can tell you, if we achieve everything required to take the fee to £49m because Sterling is playing for us, then he's worth every penny. Tossers
 
The default setting for the media is to downplay our successes and go big our failings. With the rags, dippers, arse and the chavs it's the opposite.
 
The Guardian is vehemently anti-City; it seems as though its football writers are desperate to perpetuate the 1990s. It's a shame as in general it's a good paper, particularly for its cricket, science and environment coverage. But the standard of its journalists' football writing, especially pertaining to City, is banal, often incorrect and almost always utter shit.

That's the average of their writers' predictions. So presumably one or more thinks we'll finish lower than that.

Even with my naturally pessemistic outlook on City, I struggle to see us finishing outside the top 4. So for so called experts to profer a view that suggests we will is just laughable - and whats more they haven't got the balls to name themselves but instead preferring to hide behind the anonymity of average ratings.
 
Where exactly is the hysteria surrounding Di Maria who didn't even bother turning up for a pre season tour and the manager has no idea why, why not criticism of Van Gaal's managerial style when he has also ostracised a world renowned goalkeeper in Victor Valdes when he knows that his main keeper De Gea is desperate to leave for Madrid.

When you contrast this with the furore and hate whipped up for Sterling who had the temerity to have an interview to put across his point of view on contract discussions the treatment couldn't be more different.

Where is the criticism of Di Maria's behaviour, where is the comment and analysis of 'why' he is so desperate to leave the rags ? It is conspicuous by its absence. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Shame this thread is no longer about the 'agenda' because the issue of media bias is not even open for debate.

Don,t think that helps the site.

Why would clicking on a media link help this place? The site earns money from ads and anyone clicking on those ads. Unless a newspaper is advertising in one of the ad banners, the site won't make a penny. Not clicking on any links posted by members won't make a difference except to the coffers of people who's site you are clicking on.

Unless they all predicted we will finish 4th (I think - maths isn't my strong point).

That means not one of them thinks we'll finish higher than 4th. Alternatively it was something like 3 predicted 3rd and 4 predicted 4th.

Bizarre whatever. There is simply no way that the rags, with no attack and no defence to speak of, will finish anyway close to us.

Arsenal are more of a threat these days so I could see how someone might have us as third, at a pinch.
 
Manchester City have sent striker Enes Unal on loan to Belgian side Genk for two seasons - just weeks after signing the Turkey international from Bursaspor.

The 18-year-old made three appearances during City's pre-season tour of Australia, but will now spend two years in the Jupiler League in the hope of regular first-team football.

Unal, who has one senior international cap, scored 24 goals in 25 games for Turkey's under-16 side and in 2013.


Work permit issues so he can't play in England but they use it as a 'wasted' buy so he can have first team football. Off Sky sports this - dickheads
