I've seen the grealish fee with the five years wages added( as always with our transfers) not yet seen it in euro's

If you scan down the list of articles on Newsnow, they have it as 2 Billion rand.

Cannot recall any mention of fee plus wages reported for the Rags signings. Just shows the clear bias. Would love the club to get hard on the internet trolls like Stone as they are no longer journalists and start some banning orders for individuals and some papers.

It' makes me laugh how the BBC and Sky push their sound bites about stopping online hate but at the same time, employ people who fuel hate with their blatant lies and twisted agendas

Rooney has 3 at Derby. Mavis, Ethel and Doris.

Think about it this way. There is already confirmed reports villa offered grealish more wages than us for him to stay.
So if this pricks tweet regarding wages is anything close to the truth iys means villa offered him 400k a week !!!!!!!!!
Don't make me fucking laugh

In that case his tweet should read "GREALISH TAKES PAY CUT TO JOIN CITY", and although probably nearer the truth, it just doesnt "fit" with how this twat likes to portay us.

Literally any bitter fan could do the job of most of these guys, you have to question the integrity of those(American owners?) who pay them for their hate!!!!!!

City's media team to hand these out to anti city journalists who attend matches at the Etihad so we can spot them inside the ground.

Pogbas fee five years ago would be worth over 100 million in todays money but i didn’t read any of the hysteria surrounding that transfer.

BBC saying that City ‘smashed’ the British transfer fee when in fact in real terms we haven’t.

I thought united gave Juventus £90m and the agent £15m plus £1.5m every season Pogba is at the rags
And Juventus also paid the agent £15m

I'm surprised that the narrative of Juventus receiving £75m isn't spun

Here you go

Another City first!

The right of passage for every young football fan, is to have your sporting hero run off with a Manchester scally flashing the cash.

Yep, I read somewhere that in 2021 money the Pogba transfer would be valued around £112 million.

Today I'll be canoeing on the river of salty tears. Hopefully Kane and Messi will sign and I'll be able to take my oil tanker out for a spin.

Doesn't bother me either way to be honest, but how anyone can be certain what a transfer record actually stands at is dubious at best. They all seem to get reported differently, some aren't even disclosed.

 

[trotsky]

Here you go

This is the fella that said the rags were getting a £80m player for £40m when they signed Van de Beek. The difference in the way we are reported could not be more transparent.
I’m looking forward to see how they report when their England darlings are ripping up the league for us. My guess is that they’ll be a concerted campaign to drop ‘unloyal’ Harry and make Sir Rashford Captain and leader.

We've only paid £89 million. We got £11 from the rags off the Sancho deal meaning we paid the same price as Pogba. ;-)

Haha the comments on the Simon Stone article are just as expected. The BBC comments certainly seem to attract a certain kind of outraged idiot.

The sycophancy towards United is sickening though. "To be fair they earn what they spend but City don't cos empty seats and stuff. They just spend their owners money and cook the books" Same old ill informed shite.

As is "They are turning the PL into the Scottish top flight or Liga". The PL has still been the most competitive top league in Europe in the last 10 years. 5 different names on the trophy, only one club managed consecutive titles(you know who). Look what's happened in Italy and Germany over the last 10 years by contrast.

Where have some of these idiots been anyway? Acting like the PL used to be more competitive. Since when? The creation of the PL and how the Sky money was introduced nearly killed the competitiveness of English football in the 90s. The first 10 years of the PL was one of the least competitive decades in topflight history thanks to United. As we know, the big sly 3 came into being due to unfair advantages(revenue splits) and the financial gulfs looked set to continue to widen, that was with or without foreign owners. I don't get why so many none big sly 3 fans hold this view, is it that they were happy only having 3 clubs to look up at, that were out of reach? They can't claim that would be more competitive either way. Releasing the monopoly the big Sly 3 were starting to have, was the best thing to happen to the PL.
