    Istanbul Pre-match Dinner with Dickov, Bishop & Pearce

    I think all those managers were fighting losing battles for one reason or another, perhaps with the exception of Keegan whose ambitions outstripped his own talent as a coach and the clubs finances but had been backed enough to see us as a stable upper premier league side. Loved the football...

    Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

    Incredible that at effectively 36 years of age you are deciding between a £billion euro contract for 2 years in Saudi and a 4 year god knows what contract in the MLS (Think he is getting a cut of the TV subscriptions for the league and league shirt sales from Adidas on top of his wages). Hard to...

    8 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2022/23

    Its 2 years doing a job I assume he loves on 10 times the salary making generations of his family financially secure - Kids , Grandkids and probably Great Grandkids along with brothers , sisters etc. He would likely be treated fantastically well living in the best accommodation with lots of...

    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    If you offered me £200m for 2 years at 32 I am gone. Especially if I had just bagged the treble as captain. I would commission and pay for my own Statue!!! Tax free presumably.

    Alexis Mac Allister

    Good player and good signing but require a few more signings to challenge for the title and I think even top 4. Fabinho and VVD looked well off it last year and the whole defence looked a lot more vulnerable. No where near the quality up front they had with Mane and Firmino gone. Klopp needs...

    Rafael Leao

    Not gonna happen at the prices being quoted and think we were interested as possible replacement for Sane or cover at the time. We have moved on with Jack in the position and can't see him being moved inside. Think Sane breaking on teams after a transition was fantastic and like De Bruyne was a...

    Raphael Guerreiro

    A great bit of business if true. £20m is a decent price given minutes he has played. Think there is a decent attacking player there but not a defender.

    Season 2023/24 Hopes

    1. Retain the League - 4 in a row and eclipse every other club in English football history 2. Win champions league (hopefully again). The only English club to do it in CL era 3. Club World cup. Not big in Europe but huge elsewhere and will help increase global profile contributing to at least a...

    Mateo Kovacic

    Think that hits the nail on the head. Not a superstar signing but a high quality player who will help us manage the minutes that will be demanded from the squad next season. Think City have looked at the market for younger players and maybe decided its Bellingham or no one at this stage assuming...

    Collymore had 2 god given talents , a brilliant football talent and Stupidity. He wasted the former and has overused the latter.

    Mateo Kovacic

    Would be happy at £30m to add cover for 3 possibly 4 seasons and allow us time to see younger options appear in the market.

    Celtic Thread - 2022/23

    He is not getting a job at City , United , Liverpool , Arsenal , Chelsea or Newcastle based on anything he can achieve at Celtic. Spurs would normally be out of reach and he would maybe go to a decent mid table side at best. That is about as well as successful performances in the scottish league...

    Celtic Thread - 2022/23

    Do well at Celtic or Rangers and you might get an opportunity at one of the clubs outside the top 6 but would not normally be anywhere near a top 6 club. Not saying there are not some good coaches but they would have to prove themselves in a more competitive league before anyone would take the...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Yes , forgot about that but thought that was a recent change and comes after the period the FA charges relate to and came in for the Milan clubs when they got new owners.

    Jude Bellingham

    Madrid have a few exiting this summer on freebies , Benzema , Modric & Asensio so a few to replace. They obviously want a top forward and I suspect will sign a short term fix while waiting for Mbappe on a free. If Levy sticks to his guns with Kane not going to a premier league rival I can see...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    The £105m premier league limit is also a lot higher then the 30million euro limit in UEFA FFP so assume even if we we are judged on any perceived errors/false accounting in our books by the FA assume it would have to be significant to be anywhere near breaking the FA FFP number as we cleared the...

    Everton Thread - 2022/23

    Limited options on the striker loans , can't think any of the relegated sides have anyone they would ship out to save on wages for a year but would imagine Chris Wood (1 in 3 for Dyche) is available on loan from Newcastle as forest won't want him , or Broja from Chelsea if he is fit again but...

    Everton Thread - 2022/23

    From what I have seen of Everton you desperately need to add to that squad if you are going to stay up. Do you not get some cash from Moise Kean this summer and was it Gomes out on loan somewhere ? Would imagine you have to keep what you have and add at least one centre forward plus add some...

    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    Agree the plan would, I assume to have Bellingham to go alongside these 2 lads but where as I am very confident we could get these 2 across the lines not so convinced on Bellingham deal and not sure who comes in as plan b. With the lack of any announcement on Bellingham it could still happen I...

    Media thread 2022/23

    Got him off the internet on a free - never a good idea. John Gidman is the one that always sticks in my mind as he joined us the year we got relegated and had an annoying rag lived next door who kept describing him as agent Gidman as though it was part of a big Ron plan until I pointed out it...
