cheers DiscoSteve....and BlueDruid!!! ;)

Should stick him on the stage in City Square before the game.

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

I imagine there is no medical and he is holed up in a hotel. He'll be in the stand for the game with medical etc in next couple of days.

 

[Timce]

Any chance of getting an annoouncement in the game? Just think about it...

 

[Damocles]

It would be suicidal to play Pogba and Yaya together so Fernandinho has to play.

Yaya is not going to be benched and pogba will demand to play every week as well. These players do not accept rotating, and cost too much to be on the bench anyway. KDB arriving rules out 433.

There is no space in our midfield for another starter. At best we could buy a back up for Yaya who has enough promise to maybe replace him one day.

Also look at barca's midfield. Their back ups are sergi roberto and Rafinha. That did not stop them winning the CL.

You can't do this, you've just made up a bunch of stuff and then at the end say "so that's definitely why".

It would be suicidal to play Pogba and Yaya together

I disagree entirely and think they would extremely well together. Neither are morons and both are professionals who will do their job properly.

Yaya is not going to be benched

You don't know this, he's 32 and not as mobile as he once was. And frankly I couldn't give a shit what he thinks, he'll be benched as and when the team require it.

and pogba will demand to play every week as well

Same as, see above.

These players do not accept rotating

You don't know this.

and cost too much to be on the bench anyway

This doesn't mean anything. Even Sergio accepts his time on the bench when he needs to.

There is no space in our midfield for another starter.

I disagree and as we've been chasing a centre midfielder for the entire summer I'd suspect City do aswell.

Also look at barca's midfield. Their back ups are sergi roberto and Rafinha. That did not stop them winning the CL.

Last year their midfield consisted of Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets, Rafinha and Xavi.

Ours this year consists of Yaya, Fernandinho, Fernando and Delph.

There are 700 billion miles between the quality of those two midfields. 3 of them wouldn't even make their bench. In fact their "absolute emergency midfielder" of Mascherano would be our second best midfielder.

[andyhinch]

I take it no ones seen him yet

 

[Worst Case Ontario]

Why dont you bring your Pogba hard on to his thread, stop dreaming

 

[Damocles]

£1m really

No, not £1m really. £6m in absolute fact.

 

[malg]

Wasn't a good looking kid......

 

[johnmc]

Damo, I'm another of the opinion that Yaya and Pogba aren't a midfield partnership. Who of the two is the defensive one, the Fernandinho if you like. To ask either to do that job means they aren't playing to their strengths.

 

[gravediggerj]

I've just followed that van toward the stadium.....

 

[pudge]

No, not £1m really. £6m in absolute fact.

The total deal is £49m. That £5m doesn't disappear into thin air nor does the deal get done without it.

We did not get Sterling for £44m, we got him for £49m and have currently paid £44m.

 

[ninjamonkey]

70M Euros = roughly 50.8M GBP.

6M less without addons than anyone thought. Good deal.

Given the tendencies on here for anything that isn't 100% happy clapper positive to be jumped on i feel i should probably state before i say anything that I'm not having a go at Txiki, City or anyone, but paying less than what the media were reporting doesn't make it a good deal. It's still £51 million. That's not a good deal, we've undoubtedly paid way over the odds. I'm not one that's bothered about the sums we pay, as long as we can afford it it's all irrelevant, the key thing is getting the players we want and we've done that.

 

[Salfordian Blue]

Hurry up Kev. I'm that bored I'm watching Arsenal.

(Newcastle have been filthy. Three stamps already, one resulting in a red. On edit: As soon as I hit post, they get another yellow)

Why does one have to be "the defensive one"?

Why can't one of them be the defensive one when the situation calls for it and the other be the defensive one when a different situation calls for it? Yaya has played defensive midfielder for us probably a hundred times and has never stopped him moving forward when needed.

In fact the only reason he can go on those gut busting runs in the first place is because he starts from deeper than everybody else.

how is it possible to get so close actually? the 52 alderley road wilmslow hospital is a private one with a boom gate for secret medicals or anything at this place on the back of the hospital isn't it? how did you get there?

We did not get Sterling for £44m, we got him for £49m and have currently paid £44m.

If he breaks his leg tomorrow we got him for £44m.

We might potentially pay them more depending on if we win the Champions League and how many appearances he makes.

You don't add hypothetical money on top of a price. Because it's completely hypothetical, it doesn't exist. When it begins to exist you add it on. You don't book income before you've received it.

You'd never make an accountant.

Then you might want to change your own thread then;

I don't want to be an accountant, I do however want to make reasonable, innocent posts on a forum without constant jibes.

Cheers.
