Never heard of a club deciding to have a sabbatical before, new one on me. I just thought they weren't as good or as well run as Wolfsburg were, but that's just me.

That's their new excuse is it? Sabbatical? Hehehe, haven't heard that one before.

"We're all going on a- League one sabbatical"

Doesn't really scan but it's still better than their nursery rhymes.

Seems like the Whatsisname deal could be structured as follows:
€30m upfront plus €5m a year for each of the next four years. That's €50m guaranteed.

Then it's:
- €5m every season he's PL top scorer (up to a maximum of €15m);
- €10m if he wins the Ballon D'Or & €5m for the Golden Boot while playing for them. .

Making €80m maximum fee in total but more likely just the €50m.

Ed Woodward must have noticed and tried the same, the difference is we bought a Lamborghini for the price of a Ferrari, you bought a Fiat Punto for the price of a space shuttle.

Quality - I'm nicking that!

This shallyman is actually making me physically sick with his level of delusion

Shallyman is at it, pure wind up surely! Still highly entertaining regardless

Yes, never forget they took it down for the Munich anniversary game ''as a mark of respect'' (ie they wanted us Blues to respect the anniversary) but were happy to put it back up the following week - a mark of disrespect in my eyes......

That final act of hypocrisy should never be forgotten.

How about a bet on who will score the most goals in all competitions this season Sterling or Depay? If Depay scores more, you lose your Bluemoon account, if Sterling scores more, I have to stand outside the Etihad holding up a sign that says "Sterling - The golden boy"

How about I give your lot a 5 point headstart and we do it on who finishes higher in the league this season?

So it is £36M, if it ends up £58M then he's been successful, so pretty much the rags WANT him yo be £58M surely as that means he'll have ended up worth it, lack of brain cells with this lot. Still that's a similar price to Aguero, the lad will be dirtying his shorts every single week with that pressure

C'mon guys. A Dutch nobody who's only played in a cloggers league. A mere 10 months older than Sterling. Plays in the same position. Who's gonna score more goals this season? The 44m man or the 25m man. I'm willing to bet.

to be fair, I'd like to compare him up against Di Maria, so I'd take that bet....oh wait, you don't have Di Maria anymore, he moved to a bigger, more supportive club.

That's a pity.
