    De Bruyne?

    I heard he was already in the UK. Hate this transfer saga, he'd better be worth it.

    Rony Lopes

    I want the lad to stay. At the very least I'd like a buy-back clause. However 8.8m is a lot of money. Before you all jump on me, let me explain. When you dispose of an asset (which is what footballers are) you take the the entire profit in that year's numbers. Rony Lopes as a young lad...

    De Bruyne?

    He may be here having a medical Monday but the Premier League will only be open Tuesday to register players. The club website will not annouce anything until the Premier League paperwork is done. I'll go for Tuesday.

    De Bruyne?

    Wolfsburg owned by VW. VW board member on Bayern board.

    De Bruyne?

    I think there's an argument that Nasri was in the category when we bought him. Rooney and Kaka are the two that stick out. Neither KDB or Sterling might have the name of Rooney or Kaka but I honestly think we should be really impressed with this summer's work. Other than Nasri, I can't think...

    De Bruyne?

    I think we have to get used to the idea, that in order to buy the best players available to us, that will sometimes mean buying from clubs who don't want to sell. In my view if we get KDB over the line, along with Sterling, they're a new breed of signing we've never had before. Sure Yaya...

    Goal bonuses

    Great post, absolutely spot on!

    Goal bonuses

    The general strategy since Txiki's arrival has been to reward winning trophies. He has overseen a lot of contract renewals that have sought to eliminate appearance bonuses from the top earners (they still exist for the young fringe players as an incentive to work hard and get on the pitch) and...

    Pedro

    I know some United fans who are suicidal. Otamendi to City, Pedro to Chelsea. Their shopping list has gone to their rivals. Txiki has to be given credit that hasn't happened to us. On the Pedro thing, find it hard to believe that a Barca servent like him would play for Mourinho after what he...

    Discussion: Txiki Begiristain (2015/16)

    I'll judge it when the window closes. Talk to 100 people, you'd get 100 different opinions on what we should have done this transfer window. I'm disappointed it looks like Delph is our only CM signing. Delph will be great but we needed more than 1. As GNev said on MNF, Toure was still...

    Post counts

    I have viewed the forum for years but never felt the need to add to the debate. In the last year I've found myself in the position to help other fans shed light on the myths of football finance, particularly where City are concerned. It's right to value someone who consistently posts decent...

    Otamendi

    Don't think it's wrong to be disappointed Denayer looks as if he'll need to be loaned. But I wouldn't be too concerned, he and his agent will have been well looked after this summer by the club, you can be sure of that. Still would not rule out him staying and Demichellis either leaving or...

    Otamendi

    Just lost complete respect for Guillem Balague. Would never claim to be an ITK but I know enough to know his quotes on Sky Sports are wildly inaccurate. It has everything to do with the Negredo money!

    Otamendi

    You might be right but budget decision on whether to buy is made separately from who to sell. In terms of the P&L impact, which is what FFP looks at, they're dealt with in a slightly different way. Assuming Otamendi signs for 5 years in year 1 he'll cost his transfer fee divided by 5, using...

    Otamendi

    Maybe for another feed but I think any money set aside for January and Pogba money is now spent up.
