F***ing loon!

Paul Merson has said on Sky Sports that Chelsea’s new signing, Pedro, is twice the player of Kevin de Bruyne, potentially Manchester City’s newest signing.

You can tell how factually accurate that all is by how they keep getting Pedro's age wrong.

That's a system that's like that because it's easier than going back every three months and changing it. It's not a profit and loss account. He cost £44m. He might potentially cost £49m, but he actually specifically cost £44m.

Assets and liabilities are recorded in the balance sheet not the profit and loss account. You would never make an accountant.

I think Merson forgets that we already have a "Pedro" type player on the squad in Navas.......We needed something different and De Bruyne offers more threat in front of goal and has a better final ball......If Paul Merson wants to compare Pedro to anyone, it should be Navas and we didnt need another Navas.....In my opinion...it doesnt matter how good Pedro is or if he is worse or better than De Bruyne......He wasnt the type of player we needed.....De Bruyne is a better system fit and gives us alot more flexibility....

 

[SWP's back]

I have done.

He struck a deal at £49m but we have paid £44m to date.

No. He's struck a deal at 44m which will be booked at 44m.

If it changes in two years, then you can change the amount. Not now.

Txiki has saved City £6m as it stands.

how is it possible to get so close actually? the 52 alderley road wilmslow hospital is a private one with a boom gate for secret medicals or anything at this place on the back of the hospital isn't it? how did you get there?

The barriers were up so I drove round and parked up - Simples!

Could he have gone to the Alexander hospital in Cheadle,im sure we used to get medicals done there in the past.

Txiki has saved City £6m as it stands.

He struck a deal to pay £44m now and a possible £5m later.

If he went to Liverpool with a single offer of £44m we wouldn't have signed him. So he didn't "get him" for £6m less than they wanted.

He "got" Sterling for deal worth £49m, we've only had to pay £44m as of now. It can be booked any way you like that was never my point. It's "booked" on Bluemoon as £49m apparently after all.
