it's all about opinions but this deal, if it does go through is hardly representative of the game as a whole is it? I don't want City to burn down because of this!

Not City - the whole thing

World super league incoming perhaps?

I hate to say it but it's looking that way

The only immediate negative effect in relation to us of the Saudi league spending big now, will be that it might make it more difficult for us to win the Club World Cup In December; I’m assuming as well as a decent challenger from South America, there will now also be a significantly stronger entrant from the Saudi league too.

Yes second team down. South American team not yet been decided as they are only at the last 16 stage. First leg on Tuesday. Palmerias from Brazil are probably favourite global rank 75.

I don’t give Auckland much hope!

I might be wrong but the team from Saudi playing on the club World Cup isn’t one of the ones making the really big signings (so far anyway)

They are one of the four that are part on the Saudi Investment fund and so far have signed Benzema Kante and Jota.

They qualified as the host nation’s champions with Urawa the actual Asian champions though Red Diamonds have slipped a bit recently and aren’t as good as Yokohama who we just beat 5-3.

Yep. I give it ten years max. It's inevitable at this point.

It would explain the rags and Liverpool having gone from being up for sale, to dragging their feet. Seeing as they were the main instigators last time, I'm sure they've seen a fresh opportunity with the growing Saudi league influence.

City’s best chance of winning The FIFA World Club Championship is this year. It’s going to get a lot harder after that with the format change.

I couldn’t give a fuck about Mbappe but what worries me is if he takes the dirty foreign sportswashed oil money then that leaves PSG with a gazillion quid to throw at City for Bernardo.

But if we adopt what is said on these threads (and in fairness the Sky chat shit on tv room) as what happens in the transfer world, then we as a club will know they have a gazillion quid to spend and will be able to inflate our asking price accordingly. They'd need to sign Bernardo first and then sell Mbappe to avoid getting ripped off.

Or something like that.
