Always amazes me that we’re the only team where players are unhappy

I recall that season we won all 4 domestic trophies and leathered everyone 16-0 but the players were all suicidal and couldn't wait to leave to play for literally anyone but City.

The ungrateful bastards.

The coat costs £350,000,000 under Section 2 (6) the 2010 Manchester City Transfer Price Reporting Act.

That was before the sales so who knows now.

Checked it out as a possible present but thought sod that.

The fee for Diaz was £60 m , but £20 m was for Otemendi (who was in the last year of his contract and could have left for nothing , and we would have let leave for nothing if any one was interested)
But by cobbling the two deals together it says £60 m when really it’s £40 m for Diaz and£20 m for the general
It basically means we pay the balance (£40m)over the length of Diaz’s contract(5years) so £8 m per season for us and Benfica get to count £60 m over 5 years on their profit page so £12 m per season towards their bottom line for FFP

ITS A PAPER EXERCISE

DIAZ HAS COST US £40 m

fantastic piece of business

we also did a similar deal for Cancelo with Danilo but the press will never mention the real cost of the deal because it’s City

He does every time he commentates us

He's getting a bit of stick on twatter

In fairness, and context is everything, Edersons price was highlighted in the context of what a bargain it was an unknown thanat 34 million, similarly that was the case with Dias, highlighting what an excellent buy he is proving, and how few top class centre halfs there are available.

What 'context' (otherwise known as Frank's Justifications for anti City Comments' for a tortuous article in some paper at the time Ederson. It converted the price City paid in Euros into sterling and then converted it to Euros at the time Buffon became the most expensive goalie some 16 years beforeand the conversion rate was very differnt
Lo and behold ,' flthy rich City owned by filthy oil rich arabs have blown more on an unknkown than on the worlds best goalie at the time.'
Additionally Darke mentioned a player costing £mega 'plus add-ons'. On the odd occasions they mention transfer fees add ons are never mentioned although nearly all have them.
So what is the context of this other than always looking to paint an anti City picture?

And so he should. You're looking at double figures the number of times he mentioned the cost of our players. He even started to talk about the price of Pep's coat FFS!!

I had the game on mute so I didn't have to put up with that geriatric and demented pervert Ian Darke. BT coverage is utterly toss, I'm glad I'm not paying for it.

Switched over to supersport once i heard mcminimums dulcet tones.
And the only fee they mentioned was Cancello's.
