Yeah, i know its "in the ballpark" for the numbers wise. jack was £105.75m for some reason, so i went with the 5%

Yep, I noticed that one too. The older the figures, the more they may have changed! De Bruyne's has changed hugely.

It's fairly standard that hacks will just take the facevalue figure from transfermarkt as their 'research', and it just inflates transfer costs.

Yeah I have 2 spreadsheets, one with the transfermarket figures and the -5% i use for reference.

It comes from conversion errors between £ and € based on the way they’ve organised their websites. The main one is German so it’s based on €

De Bruyne cost £54m which was €75m in 2015 so it goes inhe database as €75m.

When you visit their UK site now, it converts from €75m to £ based on todays conversion rate which makes it £68.4m

If the £ got stronger against the euro than it was back in 2015, the prices would start being lower than they actually were.

Davies getting absolutely hammered on social media and not just from City fans

Thanks KW. I notice it says he once mocked Kenny Dalglish about Hillsborough; I bet he didn’t do it to his face the weedy, whining arsenal prick

Fooled me but some of the comments are saying it's not actually Davies and I don't recall him speaking that quickly when I've seen him on tv recently.

Can someone educate these deluded arsenal pricks, Ederson wasn’t a pen cos he got the ball not the man; Bernardo was a pen cos his shirt was pulled in the box and he was kicked in the box. These are facts, get over it.

Plus Odegaard stamped on Ederson's ankle before launching himself into inner space.

Rants about Grealish when they had Pepe on the bench.

Rants about Arab money when they and their stadium are sponsored by Emirates.

His "get back to where you came from and go buy a club in a desert" is straight up racism.

Why don't the daft bastards look at the 'visit Rawanda' plastered on their shirts, for a big dollop of irony
