This very much feels like a holiday romance where you really don't want to let yourself get too involved emotionally. At the start I was just loving the fact we were linked but wasn't convinced we were truly interested or would secure him. But then I imagined taking my kids to go and watch him live (big imagination in the current climate), and very much got carried away. Now I can't help but feel sad at the prospect of not getting him. We really are a mad bunch. I'm still not over us missing out on Mido.
It is what it is.
I'd like him to.join us but, if he doesn't, it's not the end of the world.
Man City is bigger than any player ever.
True blues know this.
Still in that Turkish prison then Zin? ; )I’ve been with my holiday romance for 4 years (:
Do you actually know what a buyout clause is?It's not so simple. Barca argues the buy out clause is valid. If they succeed in that argument then there is a very high chance we'd have to pay 700m. Buy out clauses are there for that reason and are quite clear by law.
Court sets the value if the 700m clause is deemed to have expired but the contract still stands.
Me too. Broke my golden rule - never to watch the highlights reel until it's been confirmed. I've jinxed it. Sorry.
I've had to join guys, getting involved is the only thing that's going to keep me sane, instead of jumping inbetween this thread and the other one every 4 seconds 14 hours a day, every day for the past week.
I've actually reached the stage now where I don't even know what I think anymore. We need to stop hanging on every word that goes out on twitter though and letting it ruin our mood and like some guy rightly posted the other day , stay completely focused on the facts in all this (which haven't really changed since the Burofax was sent)
Keep the faith blues, we are on the brink of something very special indeed - the fact we are even discussing this truly shows how far we've come.
P.s I'm not a rag
P.p.s Its a muffin.
