Thats a fair point if we are going to play him. If he is sat on the bench he costs us £13m plus £8m in wages.

I, like many , really want Palmer to succeed at City but he has not got anywhere near the levels Sane reached playing for City. That said Sane did not consistently hit his top level and did not deliver on his full potential. A very good player who looked as though he was going to be World Class...

Always get told off by the missus for instantly basing/changing my view on someone as soon as I find out who they support. Clive Myrie - Best newscaster out there , Timothy Dalton - a great 007 , Martin Lewis - a man to listen to , Jackie Chan would have kicked Bruce lees arse - Neighbour who...

Was sat in a sports bar in Spain when both city (against Fulham) and united (no idea who they were playing) games were on. About 30 watching the city game with half in city tops and about 5 lads watching united looking a bit sheepish. Very much a tourist bar but the crowd watching city were a...

Is that not effectively what the revised world club competition with 32 teams will become. No matter what the Saudis do with there league the Champions League alongside the big European leagues puts UEFA and its clubs at the top of the food chain. Take the pick of those clubs into a more...

I think Neymar wanted to win with Brazil but was about personal recognition in the domestic game, in effect win a balon d'oR and thought that might happen moving out of messi's shadow to PSG. It backfired in a number of ways - abuse for leaving Barca , the emergence of Mbappe who arrived in the...

Agree the difference between shining for a team trying to win things and shining in a team just treading water is consistency. Its ok playing fantastically well in 1 out of 3 games when you only need to hit 40 points but when you need to be hitting 90 you can't make mistakes and need to be on it...

Except PSG are owned by Qatar who currently are only just thawing relations with the Saudis - the border and trade between the 2 countries ceased for a good few years and has I think only recently started back up. Might be a way of helping that relationship thaw more quickly but why is it...

They were never going to turn it down though with a player refusing to renew with 1 year left and a huge bonus to be paid out at the end of the year. Makes this interesting as Mbappe can sit there and earn £100m but potentially not play , play a year and earn god only knows what and move to...

Had to leave a game rather than use the bogs on the last occasion I needed a dump at maine road, Newcastle league cup game in the 90s, think Rosler had just scored and had been on a full days session with pre match curry. and could hold out no longer. Headed straight for nearest pub at pace...

It was the river running along the middle that was the worst. Would splash over the edge of your shoes and if you needed more than a pee you were in trouble with one bog on the end from memory which you used at your peril.

Sums it up. Silva could keep the ball as long as you wanted him to have it but had the killer pass in his locker and would use it like a stilletto - the setup in the 6-1 I replayed endlessly for months. KDB will take far more risks with the ball and capable of some outrageous hollywood type...

I don't think we ever saw the real prime Vinny as injuries I think prevented him really reaching his full potential consistently. Was a hell of a player at the level he reached and more of a complete footballer than Dias (who has the same leadership qualities). Both tremendous players. If I had...

For a long period of time the best player I had seen at City. Thought we were on our way back when we signed him but could not really afford him. Class player. RIP.

Always looked poor defensively but going forward looked as though he would provide at least a dozen decent crosses a game . Got everyone excited and then picked the injury up what 3 games in with a stupid tackle? Never seemed to take it seriously enough to knuckle down and never fully recovered...

But equally if you’re clever with money you can do a lot more with £25m tax free than £8m taxed. You’re gonna be comfortable either way but can be a lot more generous to family with an extra £20 m a year. If you’re a dick with money then none would ever keep you secure. Just cannot blame him...

Will wish him luck if he goes. I would not turn down £25m a year tax free v £8.3m which is taxed at 32 if I had won everything I could whilst playing in a foreign country anyway. Being called greedy would not effect me in any way. Effectively he can earn in a couple of years what he has earnt...

Indeed. Most fans won't give a monkeys and the way its measured is really about exposure to numbers for sponsors which we seem to be doing very nicely on as it is. Growth is inevitable if you are successful on the pitch but its trophies I enjoy rather than comparing the size of our fan base to...

Like Oyarzabal but did' he pick up a pretty bad injury last season ? Looked good when I have seen him play. Not sure about Pote if he was the guy at wolves who never got a game.
