Love to hear it. Not sure anyone gives a shit but I worked on the movie. Took a full calendar year of my life, so I'm glad a bunch of people are getting their 2hrs worth out of it.

Lots of people do. Not me, but lots of people. Can't remember who said it, but somebody mentioned that if your first couple wives shagged your brother it doesn't necessarily mean your third wife will. I basically feel the same way -- previous lapses in reinforcing a championship-winning squad...

Every year the sky is falling for some. What a stressful way to navigate life.

No clue. I just enjoy the drama. Part and parcel to the City experience, in my opinion. Anyone who wants to have his or her way all the time is a lunatic.

Good old fashion shitshow. I love this stuff.

He's a Merseyside lad though. Can't fault them, came up through their youth academy.

Yeah, I have tickets for the game and it says 8pm (PST) kick off. I'm sure it'll be later though, kind of an annoying American sports tradition.

I lean with Stretford on this one. Feels like Pep wants to take technically gifted players and move them further back (into defense), rather than take technically adequate players and move them further up (into midfield). Stones is potentially gifted for a central defender (I know there are...

Anyone able to provide any updates on Jacob? I'm a fan (in my limited ability to follow his career). Would love to have a local Academy kid graduate in his position and crack the first team. Just curious if there is anything to report from the past 10 months since the last post here.

This is causing a downward spiral at this point, so I'll try to be simpler with what I'm saying. If we have £300m to spend in a transfer window, I would rather we signed 6 world-class players for £50m a piece than overpay and only get 5 players for £60m a piece. Call that whatever you will, but...

I don't under your post either, if it makes you feel better. Where did you get the impression I was against the Mendy transfer? People stopped talking about Mendy for three pages, and instead talked about not understanding why people care about transfer fees at all. I was bored so I jumped in...

Anything specific, or just the whole thing?

If we're allowed the tangent here, I'm one of those people who concern themselves with fees. Doesn't have anything to do with any personal embarrassment I might feel about what we paid. Just concerned with the business side of things. There is a finite amount of money to spend, even if it's a...

Haha. I'm not saying any of that. I'm not questioning City's decision to sell him. I'm not questioning the player's decision to leave. I'm not calling into question City's entire history of letting academy players go. You said "None of those who left yet made it nowhere close to City level" and...

I'm not talking about players who would make our starting 11, if there were such a thing anymore. Not sure Neville is either. Denis made 18 appearances for Barcelona last season. That's a squad player, there's a role for that. And if you genuinely wouldn't have started Trippier over Fernandinho...

I think he's more interested in the current (and future) crop of players, rather than what the CFA produced prior to upgrades. We are just now seeing what the academy can produce. And for the record I would've taken Trippier & Denis Suarez last season. Not to mention Roberts on the days we...

I'm not weighing in on the larger argument here (though I did watch two games where Jack looked the part -- small sample size though, I'll admit). I can say I totally disagree with your broad way of thinking though. If you can excel at Cambuur then you can easily excel at AZ, PSV, Ajax, etc...

When did I tell you not to be worried or concerned?

You're allowed to criticize an outcome all you want. Same as in the above example. If people were on here crying out "I don't know how this happened but this is not how things were meant to go!" then fair play. It's the goofballs who think they know how intricate a transfer is, especially at...
