And people are still gobbling it up hahaha

He could well be right, I don't know.

But he should be afforded the same courtesy as anybody else who attempts to share information on here, there are certainly bigger problems in the world going on.

Ezzy says six this week, my information is that it could be 'only' six this entire window, already factoring the signings of Ake and Torres.
 
Im guessing there will have to be significant movement of players out as well

3 gone already - Sane, Bravo and David Silva

Other outs? - Zinchenko, Ota, Garcia

I cant think of anyone else that realistically we would look to sell other than Stones but with Garcia more likely to leave I would imagine th club will want to keep Stones and work on him becoming the player we know he can be

Angelino. £25m right there.

I'm the last person to get on someone's back for posting info. I'm also not inclined to believe a word coming from that guy.

To be quite honest, after watching people dishing out shit to the likes of @93.20blue who has gotten information repeatedly spot on, I find it funny that so many are taking this guy at his word when he's done nothing of the sort.
 
This is why I've never held much credence to the Der Spiegel/ UEFA charges.

If any club truly wanted to bypass UEFA's rules, rather than doing it in a way which, if discovered, would leave them open to sanctions, there are many many ways of achieving that, without doing something piss obvious.
Well, the two aren't mutually exclusive. The particular allegations were bullshit. But as you say, that doesn't mean we didn't do something else.
 
This is from a post I wrote on May 2nd,
Last Edited on May 13th.

£300m has always been the(maximum) Summer Transfer Budget.
In(~£270M For 8 Players | 7 Promoted From Within)
  • Houssem Aouar(22) - £45M
  • Thiago Almada(19) - £20M
  • Rayan Ait-Nouri(19) - £25M
  • Amad Traoré(18) - £20M
  • Mohamed Ihattaren(18) - £25M
  • Eduardo Camavinga(18) - £55M
  • Tanguy Kouassi(18) - Free Agent
  • Alessandro Bastoni(21) - £50M
The club made a point of dismissing it, although the optics of such a spend in the current climate could be a reasoning for it.

I understand it was The Athletic's claims that were dismissed, not sure who else might have picked it up elsewhere or wrote similar.

As you say Jack G is one of the very few City like to still court these days.
He said 6 new signings this week all for the 1st team.

Again absolutely no chance.

I also don't see any rumours of Aouar being likely?

Exactly. I mean, Messi isn't short of a few bob. There would actually be nothing to prevent us paying his £300k a week wages (in line with Kev and Raheem) and choosing to directly wire him £100m when he has stopped playing.

Loads of CFG possibilities.

The question is whether we have needed to. In the case of someone like Messi, you would need sonethong extra but you could easily imagine getting creative without doing anything actually wrong.
