Jamie Paradise putting it all into context for us in the Guardian

Has it been crafted with that 'Midnight Cool' trendy-hip lingo that he is synonymous with?

Give us a flavour, save us all giving the clicks............. :-)

 

[Micky Blue]

I hope somebody reminds him that Van Dick would be the third most expensive signing between us and the cult, and that they would be be first, if Caicedo hadn't snubbed them for Chelsea.

Let’s not forget liverpool were the first team in the PL era to spend over £1bn and not win the PL.
incidentally Tottenham were the second.

If only Jamie was on Twitter...

Ha ha, I'm glad you are as bitter as me. Bookfuckin'.com shit all over me for Istanbul so now I use the site to see what hotels are in the area and then book them direct. I wont give anybody a penny.

Kieran Maguire was excellent on 5Live. Gave real and balanced insight into Haaland's deal.

Said it was a WIN for both parties. Player is well paid and knows he's secure. Club know they've got a player tied down to a long contract and won't have to worry about getting into last year etc...

Said if he leaves (said it was probable all release clauses have been removed) City will get full market value.
So they'll be happy.
Meanwhile the player is getting big money. Also added that no doubt his money will go up year-on-year but may well be a bargain because wages have increased by 3800% since the start of the PL and will likely to continue to do so.

Just to put that into context general inflation has gone up 120%.

Haaland’s record-breaking deal is a coup but what happens if City are relegated? | Jamie Jackson

Norwegian’s near decade-long contract on £500,000 a week could backfire spectacularly if champions are punished

Naah, not reading that shit. But, thank you ;-)

Dick van Dyke always makes me chuckle.

Does that make Konate, Mary Poppins?

This guy has got serious mental issues.
It's almost like it's been written by a jealous, bitter red mardarse with no grip on reality.
Weird.

I do wonder what 'normal' fans of other clubs think about it when they see multiple headlines over a number of years about us being relegated. The scribblers regurgitating the same old drivel, nothing new. I'm sure most are nearly as sick as we are about seeing the headline, never mind reading the same stuff.

There are other stories out there. A quick shout out to Joe Bray at the MEN - just a little piece about the physio that has been dragged all over the place to help Savio adjust physically to La Liga and the PL. Not Pulitzer, but a nice change.

Does that make Konate, Mary Poppins?

Probably.

 

[Dannyblue52]

They haven't got a scooby have they?

They know exactly what they are doing.

 

[eastmanc]

They know exactly what they are doing.

You're probably right with your assumption.

Denis law mate, they missed City out.

This is fantastic news for the pl, the world's best striker to stay in the pl for ten years.......oh wait I forget the American cartel give me brown envelopes.
It's absence how can City afford to pay Haaland a million pound aweek with the 115 verdict of guilty and relegation just around the corner........

Being a journalist is piss easy and I failed my CSE English

 

[BTH]

It seems the one thing this particularly thin-skinned gentleman of the press can't tolerate is free speech in the form of criticism, however mild.
I feel my work here is done, but I fear Jamie is in for a busy day on his socials...

Reading that article, I’m reminded of the stories of the Japanese soldiers still wandering the jungle, refusing to accept their country had surrendered 20 years after the second world war had ended.

Whilst the realisation is dawning on most other people hoping for our demise, this guy is still asking “what if City are playing Plymouth or Doncaster next season? What if Real Madrid decide they want him?” Read the room, it’s over, the disastrous ending for our club you’d hoped for isn’t happening. Acceptance is the first step.
