It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

With three weeks to go in the transfer window I don’t see how it can be “obvious“ (as I’ve seen on BM) that we won’t bring any more new players in.

Starting the season with two full backs was clearly not the plan. Behind the scenes I can’t see Pep telling Txiki that his squad is now fine and he is happy to go with what he has been given. City spent too long going after Cucurella and thank god Chelsea came in and put a definitive stop to the uncertainty.

I don’t think for one minute City are thinking “ah well we had a crack but it wasn’t to be” City have to bring in a full back at the very least. To start the season with two isn’t ideal but everyone makes mistakes. To let the window shut with our defence as it is would be dereliction of duty for a club wanting to win the Champions League.

It isn’t going to be easy, because we have shown our hand, but it has to be done nevertheless.

It's not.

His contract was €14m/season, £220k/week.

It's going up to much higher in the next 2 years ~€20m, £330k/week because he's getting backpaid the deferred salary from 2021 and 2020.

Barcelona have leaked his contract to the Spanish press, we know the numbers now, don't need to rely on the old rumoured numbers which were far higher than reality.

Are we talking about FDJ ? Won't they get in shit for leaking his contract ? I remember a huge shit storm when Messi had his contract leaked

then its absolutely mental that UEFA or FIFA havent stepped in to stop them buying players etc? let alone this holding company that they secretly set up to pay themselves etc?

I've just read that the FDJ issue stems from a 2 year extention that would have took him to 2026. He would earn 20 m euros this year and 25m euros next year. They want to go back to 2019 contract which would mean he only had 2 years left.

This is going to get seriously Messi lol
