Media Discussion - 2023/24

[Gazza]

It’s been fairly widely reported that we paid Wolves £53m for Nunes and that we received £42.5/45m from Chelsea for Palmer. Not according to the BBC this morning. Apparently we paid £55 for Nunes and received £40m for Palmer.

You know the rules;-
City buy player = Show fee with add-ons (sometimes even wages)
City sell player = Show fee minus add-ons.

The best thing I find is to ignore all the sporting media. BBC, Sky, TalkSport etc etc. I don’t watch, read or listen to any of the cunts. Fuck em the jealous rag, dipper, tarquin, chav loving arse licking cock sucking cunts let them cry and whinge about us as much as they like and let our continued success drive them all insane.

I agree. Someone on here said they’re all just therapy for rags and dippers which makes it all the easier to take it all with a pinch of salt.

Like I said. A bit.

Can you expand on this for us GDM - are we saying 'a bit' is less than 'some' but more than 'a little'? ;-)

Hopefully some of those games will never be repleated.

Deserves more that a like. 10/10.

Yes. That’s what ‘a bit’ is.

You know the rules;-
City buy player = Show fee in Euros with add-ons (sometimes even wages)
City sell player = Show fee in sterling minus add-ons and take off a couple of million for good measure.

I've had my fill of repleats.

Fair comment.

On the other hand, it's like saying Hitler was your favourite Nazi

As Nazi's go Hitler must be in the top 10.

He was a vegetarian after all.

We shouldn’t be surprised they twist things to sound as negative as possible, most of them are rags, scousers or cockneys.

It’s so easy to make any team’s business sound shit, particularly when it is. For example, rags having to loan a player who even Spurs don’t see in their plans, re-sign a 35 year old ex-player on a free and sign Amrabat on loan because they can’t afford to buy him. They’ll be struggling to make top 4 this season the way City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have all strengthened. Could be ten Hag’s last season, he’ll be under pressure having spent £72m on an unproven striker just because his name sounds a bit like the best striker in the world. Poor business from them, still in City’s shadow.
