All of our outgoings have come to a complete halt, so certain blues can give their input during a community meeting about what is and isn't any acceptable outgoing fee.

Man City's 'leaked Messi transfer bid' is a fake after image shows '£181m offer'
A LEAKED document suggesting Manchester City bid £181million to Barcelona for Lionel Messi is a fake. City and Pep Guardiola were established as favourites for the Argentine’s signature when …www.thesun.co.uk
On a scale of 1 to utter horseshit, where does this come in at?
Marvellous. Slap £50m bid in with 12 hours to go.

That was 12 months ago, if 93:20 is true to his word then Otamendi will be gone before we play wolves. Koulibaly is near, apparently, so we might go into the game with a bit of muscle at the back.
Be confident.

Not sure about that, to be honest. We set the standard three seasons ago whereby you have to be on it from the start. If anything, I'd say a slight mid season lull is the least damaging.

I reckon spurs can (thankfully) be discounted for top 4, but the other ‘five’ teams will be competitive and capable of taking points off each other.

I can’t find any report on an Ake injury. Not mentioned on his twitter account - only disappointment at the result. Does anyone have a link?
He just felt a sting in his hamstring after 80 minutes. Probably nothing.

I might be guessing wildly here, but I think that transfer spend is at a low ebb because of the covid thing and the consequent slashing of many millions of pounds of tv / advertising and match day income. The decimation of the income that most clubs thought was safe enough to plan around.
That, coupled with a precarious financial future for all spectator sport (due to the high risk of covid returning and supporter income remaining down) means that most clubs are thinking more about how they can meet their existing wage commitments more than how they can afford a new expensive player on a new expensive wage.
Maybe I'm wide of the mark but maybe I'm onto something that might explain something that some people are getting mad about?

I watched the game. It looked like he had felt his hamstring as opposed to a pull or a tear. They took him off straight away so fingers crossed.
