Bernardo winning it would mean Ronaldo lifting it. Sorry Bernardo but thr sacrifice has to be made.

Annoyingly good appointment in my eyes. Still a lot of work for the dippers to do with that squad but if they get the right players I expect him to have them competing above their level. In true cultist fashion, they're already trying to claim him as a lifelong dipper because they reportedly...

I agree he could silence all the noise and commit himself but that wouldn't be a good idea on his part, even if he wants to stay, he puts himself in a better position to get a better contract if he doesn't say so. I'm not saying he doesn't want to leave but the two aren't related. City's...

Genuinely insane reasoning. No city player will be encouraging another to move elsewhere. Besides, kova wasn't appreciated in Madrid and was pushed out 7 years ago, so why would he have a glowing opinion on them? Gvardiol has repeatedly spoken at virtually every opportunity about how Kovacic...

Nice rallying cry. He's simply outstanding at talking the talk and doing so in the calmest and most confident manner imaginable.

Or a more attacking Mikel Arteta.

So relations are excellent yet we are to believe we put in an official bid that was rejected? Don't buy it for a second. More sensationalised bullshit to create stories. if relations are excellent we would be able to have informal conversations on the price, we wouldn't need to be sticking in...

Worth just pointing this out before everybody wrongly jumps in on the same thing, this isn't Real madrid, this is a would be president. It's not city vs real madrid. It's city vs real madrid presidential candidate. There is a huge distinction that needs to be made. Title should be amended too...

Alvarez is going to get a reputation for being a right little bitch. Don't sign multi-year lucrative contracts if you want out after 18 months. Why would atleti director give him a secret agreement that he can go to their league rivals? Hope he ends up there because it would be sickening to see...

Yep. And if he does well they can extend next summer and give him a raise.

My immediate thought is it's the dippers choice rather than the managers. Says to me they aren't entirely convinced by him and want to give themselves an easy, cheap out should it not work out and save on a potentially costly sacking.

His hair has done a Gabriel.

Rodri wasn't a world class midfielder when we signed him either. Nor was Bernardo, or gundo, kdb had had 1 world class season but wasn't considered world class yet, dinho wasn't, David Silva and Yaya were the last and arguably only world class midfielders we have bought as already world class...

The anyone that wants to leave can leave policy was all Pep, he isn't here anymore so no reason why that policy needs to stay. Our best players cannot be allowed to leave unless they leave as free agents and if we are letting our best players leave as free agents, Viana isn't doing his job.

He's absolutely shite. Makes TAA look like a prime walker defensively. Laughable how a good number of people wanted him last summer.
