Hi John, Sorry we couldn’t connect yesterday. Train from London was 90 minutes late into Manchester — ended up missing first 25 mins of the game. I hope you found a way into the stadium...

Train from London has been motionless for about an hour near Milton Keynes. Probably won’t get to Manchester Piccadilly until 1pm now.... Might still be able to give it away but it will be close...

I have an extra ticket for today’s game. Section 317. I’ll give it away to a City fan **for free**. You’ll need to meet me at the Stadium .. eg, at 1pm. PM me. I’m on a train from London up to Manchester right now — will have spotty access to the internet for the next hour.

Bill and Crumpsall -- Thanks to both of you for the advice. OK, we'll get to the stadium on our own, and then take the busses back to the ports with the other City fans. Makes sense. This should be a pretty intense game -- looking forward to it!

I've got a question -- and I'm looking for some advice. I'm a City fan -- and so are my 2 kids (11 and 13) and my wife. We were going to be in Naples on Nov 1 and so I (stupidly?) just bought us 4 tix on the City website. We're clearly not looking for the typical away fan experience. So my...

I hope we sign KdB, even for a huge fee (not my money). But I also think we need to keep some perspective: he'd be our 4th/5th most important midfielder: behind Silva, Yaya, Sterling, and possibly Fern. I like KDB; he'd be a very capable orchestrator, along with the brilliant Silva and Yaya...

Blue5ter -- great thread. Question: Should we be thinking of the club's assets as being priced in GBP or in Emirati Dirham? If the latter, over the past year the AED has appreciated about 10% relative to the GBP so the actual benefits to the club from the past year's currency fluctuations...

Here's the simple way to assess the deal: Is there any other player we could sign who would do more to improve the squad who we could get for 50 mill pounds? If yes, then this is a bad deal. If the answer is no, well then you just told me that he was worth it. Because there's nobody else...

Re: Champions League Squad If Wright replaced Caballero, Wright would use a HG spot. That would allow us to drop Boyata (he counts as HG, right?) and go with Kompany, MDM, and Mang as CBs. Caballero’s spot would then be free for Bony. To say this differently, we'd be adding Bony and Wright...

1) OP is generally right. 10 games into the 13/14 campaign, City were in 5th place with 19 points. So our current position of 3rd place with 20 points is no reason to panic. 2) The one thing that is worrying is the lack of goals. Many pundits are complaining about City's Defense this year...

Hello, *Apologies* for attaching my own question to this thread, but I haven't posted 100 times so I can't start my own topic. I'm a U.S.-based City fan (since I was a young lad) and luckily my 7-year old son is now a rabid City fan too. I have a work trip to the UK and will be bringing my...

Got it. When I originally read the Brennan article, I thought he was just looking at weekly salaries, but clearly his calculations of wages are including both weekly pay and also transfer fees. Thanks for clarifying this.

I'm a newbie on this board -- great thread, and great discussion. Here's a dumb question: don't the amounts spent on the transfers themselves -- separate from the weekly salaries -- also count for FPP rules? If so, and if the average contract for Negredo, Fernandinho, Navas, and Jovetic is...
