El PSG ofreció a Neymar al Manchester City... que lo rechazó

El final del mercado de fichajes tuvo sus momentos y sus fichajes importantes. Pero pudo tener un bombazo que finalmente no se produjo. El París Saint-Germain ofreció al Manchester

I usually think our own domestic sports media are impossible, but this - from La Marcia, is on a whole other level. Gist is that PSG offered Neymar to City, who turned them down, because Neymar wouldn’t have fitted into the team and would have disrupted the dressing-room. No source whatsoever is quoted, from either club, or from anyone else. And the story has nothing directly to do with La Liga, concerning the non-move of a Brazilian from a French club to an English club.

When the GPC said that it was Real Madrid’s vehicle to unsettle players, he may have been shpeaking in a rare moment of lushidity.

Somewhere in the Marca’s editor’s office, there’s an unattributed non-story lying in an out-tray, with “too thin to publish” written in red ink. This, astonishingly, is not it.

We used to call it "The African Queen" back in the day.

The 102 was widely called that when I was a lad.

Just wanted to post something from Sky that actually paints us in a favourable light, the showstopping chart from the article is below. Feel free to share it with anyone you know that spouts off nonsense about us ”spending billions” to win the league this season.

Premier League transfers: Chelsea, Man Utd, West Ham & Nottingham Forest top spenders

Premier League clubs spent £2.1bn on 134 permanent signings for disclosed fees during the transfer window; Chelsea recorded league-topping £228.4m net spend, followed by Man Utd, West Ham and Nottingham Forest; Man City recouped a league-high £172.8m from sales

Can somebody on Twitter please send that to Delooney?

He's not insane. He's an intelligent person who HATES everything our club stands for and he uses his position to paint us in the worst light possible. He's relentless and he isn't going to go away just because of a few posts on here. You either ignore him or challenge him on Twitter. He knows exactly what he's doing. I can't stand the blinkered fucker.

I think that's debatable. What's not debatable is that he's a bitter and obsessed fucking liar

With DeBruyne, let’s be honest, how many City fans were bouncing up and down with excitement at the time? It was a very lot of money to pay for a player approaching his mid 20s who’d done nothing on a big stage by that point.

I was and so were the many BMers tracking his flight when he was on his way. Kev had won Bundesliga POTY the previous year.

Nice article at the bottom of this piece by carragher. Really gushing about haaland and City's transfer window.

Liverpool to have major midfield shake-up with Arthur Melo just a stop-gap, says Jamie Carragher

Jamie Carragher also discusses Erling Haalands impact: This lad could end up being the best player we see in the Premier League... up with Thierry Henry; watch Aston Villa vs Man City live on Saturday Night Football from 5pm on Sky Sports Premier League; kick-off 5.30pm

You actually think Delaney is intelligent? I am genuinely amazed that someone would actually believe that. From where I stood he’s sinfully stupid.

Of course he's intelligent. He's a calculating, sinister little louse. As I said, he has an agenda and he's making it public whenever he can. I can't stand him and wish he'd fuck off to never never land but doesn't mean I think he's thick.
