Lol, “Yorkshire tea”, what part of Yorkshire do they grow that in then?
You forgot to reference your website of choice btw ;-)

It is funny that with the huge wealth of information and knowledge available on the internet i only really use BM and YouTube

I use the word lightly but the glaring 'issue' with that is that if Haaland doesn't explicitly state "I only want to join City" then threatening to walk away means very little as the like of Chelsea, for example, won't be afraid to chuck money at them.

This...calling someone's bluff is dangerous when other clubs have shown a willingness to throw whatever money is needed at someone on order to get a player.....in particular the likes of Madrid, Chelsea and the rags....

There would be reasons for the confidence in Erling Haaland transfer at City as we very confidently let Aguero go. But until a player does a Sane and flat out refuse to sign an extension or transfer to any other club( Good for those Bavarian cunts) there would always be a doubt over the certainty of a transfer. Even KDB was a bit iffy till the last minute but we eventually made it over the line.

This is bigger,better and with a showman like Raiola things are bound to get dirty. I think we wouldn't know anything for sure till July/Aug. Till then every other news is going to create panic. I hope for the sake of all of us, Mendes becomes our player real soon.

I still can't get over the B.Silva transfer. So fast and efficient. Those just don't happen anymore!

Think Monaco got a bit enthralled by the Mbappe transfer and didn't take stock of just how much Bernardo had progressed, so they set a valuation that was too low and we met it straight off rather than negotiating. As for personal terms he wanted to play for Guardiola and with Merlin.

just watched the pep pre-match interview and all the talk of not city and pep signing a striker in the summer

1st thing is why would pep say we are going to sign a striker when we are in all the competitions and upsetting sterling or jesus and others play that role in the squad the last thing you want is players downing tools

2nd why would pep say we want this player or that player when they are still under contract its not pep's way
plus it opens a bidding war and never show your hand to early

but pep face says a thousand words you can see its a controlled answer and then looks away
you can take it as gold. but its with that look you see with pep when its a controlled reply you know something is ticking away in his head. we are short in numbers up front and you are fool if you can not see it. plus now aguero come out and said ok am off in the summer ? you think the world best manager thinks city can get by with just adding delap then april fool to you

if one of the best strikers in the world is up for sale you think city and pep will not be in the que ? why let him go to a rival when you need him yourself. also haaland is a city fan and it would be his dream move

i would hate to play pep at cards because i bet he is a master at cards as well. he knows what he is doing he's sitting on a pair of ace's but wants you thinking its a pair of 2's and bluffing

pep interview 10.30pm embargo

pretty was what i was saying

If we don't beat dortmund this week it will be a wasted opportunity Haaland is the only scary thing about them. Speaking about Haaland he's been quiet and frustrated today. They are missing Sancho massively no one there to create for Haaland

 

[Gumzy97]

Andre Silva now on 22 goals , scores against Dortmund. Great finish, could be a decent back up to Haaland

 

[hgblue]

Dortmund just fallen behind at home to Frankfurt, gutted for them ;)
