Fucking BOOM be afraid be very afraid.

It's very clear this is tied into Peps comments yesterday...a big fuck you, fuck you all to everyone.

I wonder how his signing will be portrayed in the media?

a) A bargain £63m for one of the best strikers and hottest prospects in football.
b) £300m deal when factoring in fees, wages, blah blah blah. City splashing crazy money again.

It's always going to be b) because that's where the clicks lie - but it's not just City.

The Alexis Sanchez deal to United could have been described as a bargain - swapping one of the best players in the PL with a player who had been poor, but that got the b) treatment too.

There were even multiple articles at the time linking it to the wages of the casual staff at United.

The list of footballers who cost £63m or more is hilarious. Lemar, James Rodriguez, Osimhen, Arthur, L. Hernandez, Kepa, N. Pepé, Lukaku twice, Maguire, Higuain, Hazard, Pogba, Dembele, Felix, Griezmann and Coutinho.

Stratospheric signing. Has to be the biggest statement signing since the takeover surely?

To get the lad for half of what his transfer fee probably should be is incredible too.
