At the end of the day if the clause did exist, he'd have to be phenomenal for us for someone to come in and pay €200m. Apparently De Ligt (another Raiola client) has one for €120m kicking in this summer but nobody is talking about that because he hasn't been good enough for someone to pay it...

Tolmie said City wanted him to sign for 6 years originally but settled on 5. So I can't imagine we've gone from wanting a 6 year contract to accepting having a release clause kick in after 2 years.

Kante only has a year left on his contract.

Just looked at articles from when Luis Dias signed for Liverpool and I can't even tell you what he earns per week let alone his overall package over the length of his contract like we have with Haaland to us. Sky, Guardian, BBC all only mention the transfer fee. Funny that.

For those questioning his character, just think he's probably got similar offers on the table from City and PSG. How easy would it be to go to PSG. He's a French World Cup winner. He can be far away from United whose fans slag him off at every turn now. He will always be able to start no matter...

There's no need for us to push Haaland rumours. There's no controversy with signing Haaland. If we just woke up one day and City had signed Pogba it would be pandemonium from our fans and their fans and the media. It's worth it for City to test the waters and get it out there early so its not a...

As Tolmie said before it's a good way for City and Pogba to gauge the reaction from fans of United and City before potentially going ahead with the signing. From what I've seen so far City fans are split but not fuming at the idea, just apprehensive and United fans seem to be putting a brave...

Too many plus points for City for them to pass up really. He's going on a free transfer when we will possibly need two new midfielders. Frees up money to spend a fair wedge on the other midfielder. He is still marketable and a star name. Shirt seller etc. And the narrative of one of Uniteds...

And City haven't shot it down yet I don't think?

It makes sense if we are going to lose Fernandhino and Gundogan. Will be costly to try and replace both of them so to get someone in of Pogbas quality on a free is a no brainer. Gundogan is 31 too so it's not a big deal that Pogba is 29 if he was to replace him.

Pep was crying out for a goalscorer in the summer. He thought he'd have Kane and then Ronaldo and ended up with nobody. This has been the main reason for our shortcomings this season not some lack of mentality or Peps tactics. It's no wonder we don't appear to put much of a fight when we go...

I think because they are getting that client to another club at a cheaper fee. If you look at Kane, if we did end up splashing £150m on him last summer his agent Brother wouldn't have deserved a penny after getting Kane to agree to that ridiculous 6 year deal he signed. Raiola managed to get...

It's an absolute testament to the working conditions at City. I've read books on Pep, he hates being tied down and restricted. People around him have always said the best way to get an extension is to wait till the end of a season and say "go on Pep, give us one more year". So to keep tieing him...

I wouldn't be so sure Pep won't deploy him during this crunch part of the season. If we are struggling for a goal late on he's the perfect player to bring on. Looks our most natural finisher at the moment.

Tbh I love all the fawning over Liverpool atm. The media have shot their load early after only a Carabao cup win. They seem to be inadvertently piling so much pressure on Liverpool to win it all when I'm sure Liverpool themselves will only really want to be concentrating on the league at the moment.

So why didn't he say neutrals should be wanting Liverpool to win the "domestic treble" and City to win the Champions League. By his logic he should want City to win the Champions League as City haven't won that yet and Liverpool have.

Vincent Kompany is being linked with the Burnley job now. He's joint favourite with Rooney on skybet atm.

Ffs I was extremely confident Haaland was coming but now Grimes has confirmed it, I've lost all confidence.

So unfair for Everton. They're fighting for their lives to not get relegated and they don't get a definite penalty because the league title is on the line for Liverpool.

Bizarre that seeing Emre Can on them ahead of him.
