I think he’s more pissed off they cannot register more than 13 players at the moment ;)I bet Gundo’s pissed off with this fella is turning up at Camp Nou.
If we sell well under his normal market value I don’t see that as a good thing as it sends a message that all a City player has to do is cause trouble and another team gets him on the cheap.
They are following the exact structure we agreed on. Not Barca's fault.Still haven't paid us for torres mate.

I can see where you are coming from but he didn't do it on loan at Bayern & doesn't have clubs banging on the door to sign him. Would Barca be interested if they weren't in a financial mess.If we sell well under his normal market value I don’t see that as a good thing as it sends a message that all a City player has to do is cause trouble and another team gets him on the cheap.
If he goes there and starts every game he wont cause any problems its dropping him for just one game he sulks
But it doesn’t happen often - Cancelo is just made that way. That’s why, on the whole, we’re exceptionally careful with our signings both in terms of cost & characterIf we sell well under his normal market value I don’t see that as a good thing as it sends a message that all a City player has to do is cause trouble and another team gets him on the cheap.
Very unlike us to sign a knobhead.
Agreed but it's not just that stuff though. He could be such an incredible player if he worked on his weaknesses. But it's starting to become a bit of a Pogba situation where he's approaching 30 and people still talk about his potential.
Seems a pretty low risk/high reward signing for them though if they can get it over the line.
More fool us and them for agreeing to Barcelona's demands then. Either way, that money has been booked and accounted for. No harm done.They still owe Liverpool money for Coutinho. No, seriously .....
We already have so many players that never step back and love the physicality:We need a few knobheads to stop any intimidation by other teams’ knobheads. I like to see players who never take a step back if someone else is a gobby **** or bullying one of ours, and to get in the ref’s face if dickheads like Fernandez are trying to con the officials.
If we can get his wages off the book permanently I’d even get rid of him for no fee. He just isn’t worth the hassleI think we’ll have to accept a relatively low fee, given our desire to get rid of him and Barcelona’s financial position. It’d be worth it just to get him off the wage bill permanently though. He’s on £250k a week for the next four years, which is about £50m in total. In an ideal world, he would’ve moved to a Saudi club for a decent fee, but that seems to have gone quiet.
Difference between character on the pitch and off the pitch (in the dressing room and on the training pitch), though. Grealish and Dias both pretty good examples of that.We need a few knobheads to stop any intimidation by other teams’ knobheads.

Or alternatively we could agree a larger fee and let them stretch it out for several years, as appears to be the case with Torres.I think we’ll have to accept a relatively low fee, given our desire to get rid of him and Barcelona’s financial position.
