I don't envy you pal. This windows been to worst I've seen for tangents and that takes some doing.

Hopefully this will get done now and it'll be one less thread for folk to discuss their dinner or other unrelated shite :-)

It's 100% true, City have booked 3 rooms for him, I think it's a bit sad that a fellow City fan comes on (I've been a member for 9 years) gives genuine information and all you can do is diss it, bit pathetic really...

Some people on here seem to be given hall passes for acting hostile. Ignore it and thanks for the info.

But the information is a day old, I don't think Karen is insinuating anything other than that... 9 years or 9 minutes, you should know by now not to be so sensitive!!

Why are you deliberately simplifying this? You're ignoring a large part of the point I'm raising: everything about the Pogba to United deal at the moment is entirely based in sensationalised estimates so that's all the press can do. Journalists in Italy with their finger on the pulse, people like Di Marzio who just want to get the information out there, seem to reckon it'll come somewhere between €110-120m which, in our money, is about £92m. Are the press mainly running with £92m? No, they're predominantly running with the € figure because it looks bigger on the back page, sells more papers and gets more clicks. Basically, until the press are briefed by United or Juventus about Pogba's wages then they're unlikely to include that as part of the headline figure. When Pogba eventually signs for them (probably next week) and the finer details of his contract are investigated, I imagine there will be a few red tops running with "€200M FOR POGBA" in huge letters, but we'll have to wait and see to be sure. The press just report whatever they can get their hands on, there's no concerted effort to portray us as greedy when we sign a player for £50m, or to portray the Pogba deal as anything other than it is: a landmark moment in world footballing history as viewed from the perspective of people whose currency is the £ (which is to say the €100m ceiling was broken years ago).

To please Fantasy and bring this back round to the deal for Sané, our deal with Schalke was initially reported as £40m+ with £5m add-ons, but as the weeks have gone by it's emerged that the fee will be closer to £30m with £15m worth of add-ons. The press have got no real clue as to what happens behind the scenes when transfers take place, they just broadcast/report whatever they can get from their sources. In order to manipulate the facts surrounding football player transfers they'd have to be aware of all the facts when, in reality, journalists are just as desperate for transfer information as we are. They sensationalise and they get it wrong sometimes, they plant rumours and spread myths, not to dig at any club in particular (that mainly comes through in opinion columns) but to just move with the tide of opinion they spot on social media. I don't want to sound like a dick but I've studied journalism for almost five years now and live newsrooms at newspaper offices are just a bunch of normal men and women rushing around to finish stories off, they just don't have the time to sit down and think "How could I make Team A or Player B look terrible?".
