The Agenda (Merged)

[Centurions]

Spot the difference - both BBC headlines:
Luke Shaw: Man Utd sign Southampton defender for £27m

England defender Luke Shaw has joined Manchester United from Southampton for £27m, making him one of the world's most expensive teenagers.

And this:

Man City sign £28m Bony from Swansea
Last updated 1 hour ago


Wilfried Bony has previously played at Issia Wazi, Sparta Prague and Vitesse Arnhem
Manchester City have completed the signing of Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony for £28m.

You just don't get this agenda lark do you?

I think he's referring the fact both deals involve add-ons

Yet they have used the potential full fee for Bony; £28m

Whereas they used the initial fee for Shaw; £27m. When the potential full fee United will pay is £31m.

Now that would make more sense. Pity the OP didn't include it.

He did say "spot the difference". Wouldn't be much of a challenge if he just gave you the answer would it!

Correct.

Unbelievable. Utter insanity.

The story isn't Bony signing. The story is our ongoing battle with FFPR. Everything else will be reported in this context inc transfers.

Come and join the party DD. it's far more fun that nay-saying from the sidelines ;-)

The head wobblers actually weaken the argument that the written press and the wider media is riddled with rags, Scousers and Arsenal fans who clearly have an axe to grind and use various means to paint the club in a bad light and run us down. The fact they (the wobblers) pick up and often manufacture slights when there are little or none only serves to give ammunition to those that say there is no agenda.

I agree.

And then there's me and you in the middle, Paul; two beacons of reason and temperance.

Modesty usually prevents me from pointing that one out.
