Media Thread - 2021/22

[Postman Pep]

His reporting is easily 25+ years out of date............

Isn't he the one who got an inflatable dildo shoved in his ear?

 

[Blue Theatre]

Yes, absolutely disgusting that City should offer another club money in return for one of their players, and then if the other club chooses to accept it, and the players himself wants to come to City, then it happens.

Football never worked in this despicable way until City came along.

Haha.

I’ve saved this for the day a big money offer comes in for Foden.

wonder what good ol’ Auntie Beeb’s perspective will be then!

Not clicking on it. Is Rooney on the list?
And who is Totti showing a yellow card to?

It's a load of old arse. A puff piece for rags as they have Scholes and Giggs featured.

The players on the list were all winning trophies with their teams so had no reason to leave apart from Le Tissier who everyone knew had no interest in testing himself at the top level.

Most media outlets seem to mention Grealish coming to us, even Sky now, yet strangely nothing from our illustrious national broadcaster.

And the BBC’s only mention of Kane is some meaningless diatribe from Harry Redknapp.

Was it done through the window of a Range Rover as he was leaving his drive?

There's this:

The Transfer Index - TotallyMoney

How much would our favourite footballers be worth if they were bought for today’s prices?

www.totallymoney.com

But you'll have to total up the 99 transfers inbound... manually.

I tried to extract the data from the raw JSON here: https://www.totallymoney.com/content/transfer-index/data/assets/data/data-min.js but my skills failed me.

Easiest way with any table like that is to highlight the required data and copy & paste into a blank spreadsheet. Desktop or laptop computer recommended :)

You can just tidy it up then and sort to your hearts content.

I welcome this approach. Most opposing fans accuse us of buying success so let's boil their piss even more

Think you will find on the whole it’s United and Liverpool fans you drop down the leagues and the rest of us think it’s funny :) the longer you continue to do well the more the plastic United and Liverpool pee off back into the woodwork

Waiting on the mainstream media to go with this £918M spent in Peps time bullshit that the clickbaiters like Goal.com are peddling.

City the only club where youth team purchases are added to 1st team transfer totals

 

[madloaf]

ESPN - "Would a City 'super' team spell danger for the premier league.". They then spend 3 minutes saying weve never been dominant (despite 3 in 4) then never once mentioning Liverpool in the 80s, United 20 years ago etc..before mentioning Bayern and german football and then finally someone talks sense.
Its gonna be a fun couple of weeks.

I heard Miguel Delaney in a podcast earlier this summer say that City had changed tact, I didn't pay too much attention giving the fact I didn't think he had any connections in the club. He said the club was very sensitive to media reporting of their achievements versus other clubs. He said they were very conscious not to have any record signings and be accused than buying success. Basically he said the club were sick of it and had decided to stop tip toeing around their wealth and go out and just take players that the media couldn't ignore. Given the passing of time he looks like he could be on the money.

2+2=5.
