Thiago Almada

Maradona would have benefitted from modern fitness training, dietary & tactical regimes than weren't available to him in the 70s, 80s & 90s.

In respect of the best players I've ever seen, it has to be:

1. Maradona
2. Messi

I couldn't see a team turning their nose up at either..

Yep, maybe he would. We'll never know.

Was Velez’s best player on the pitch..... 70 minutes too late. About 2 minutes after he finally got subbed on the opponent scored and Velez lost 1-0. He did lose the ball quite a bit for only being on for 20 minutes but I put that down today to the frantic nature of trying to rescue a point so late in the match.

No, he’s signing a new deal with an increased buyout clause. €25m now, instead of €16m

He hasnt yet though? What that tweet says is we bid €12m and seeing he is free in 12 months city feel thats a good deal so we pulling out the deal. Nowhere it says he is signing a new deal in that tweet.

I didn’t paste all the tweets, sorry. But he is signing a new deal, that’s the latest.

Ah right thanks.

New Messi my hole, you don't squabble over €4m euro if that's the case.

We'll just have to find a new player to flog for a small profit.

City officials always like to give out details to the press.

It's the City way.

Particularly unnamed ones.

Particularly unnamed ones.

They sometimes throw in a bit about oil money.

As I pointed out earlier, the desire for the higher fee seems to be related to Argentinian tax requirements on such fees. Not sure we should be asked to stump up 20% more simply to satisfy their responsibilities.

one of the better Sun journalists from what I can recall. A low bar, admittedly.

Tbf even you've written for the s*n ;)

A "stumping up" of 25% more would be needed to cover a 20% tax ;-)

Ah well
