I think it is easy underestimate how great the Manchester area is as place to live. There was one bit in Sergio's book which really made me think. He said he had grown up in a hot and dusty shanty town with no air conditioning and he hated hot climates. He said he loved listening to the sound of rain running down the window in his Manchester flat. Perhaps it was a "made-up" quote but I think there is a lot of truth in the broad sentiment. Most of the South Americans seem to settle well in Manchester.It is great that our best players are all happy to spend so long at the club. We all love Manchester but, to outsiders, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, London etc. probably are more attractive so the club hierarchy deserve great credit for signing and keeping the likes of Kun, Silva and now KdB.
KDB hired data analysts to study his importance to the team and assess how well set we are to win trophies going forwards based on the current make-up of the squad, player ages etc. Interesting! I guess he used the data to say “clearly I’m worth x per week”. He negotiated this without an agent!
Pretty sure that's not an issue anymore TBH....
I think KdB's endorsement of the club is something that might help us to attract top talent, similarly to Yaya's arrival 11 years ago...
Wasnt dunphy largely criticised for his reporting on jack charlton and not an overly popular figure ?I'm enjoying Dunphy no longer getting on the TV, might give it a look in about 10 years when I can no longer remember the sound of his voice :)
Only because Phil Jones is out injured.Not bad considering we get to hold on to the 2nd best midfielder in Manchester after Paul Pogba.
