I bet he'll be on nearer 400k a week but the media will get it down to something ridiculous like 150k or something. Desperation signings sum that shit club up to a tee

Ericson & Casamiro; got a real injection of pace and workrate from their signings this summer - not.
Neither with the United DNA and both very definitely there for the money alone.
I fear the worst for Ten Bob - wallowing in the basement until the World Cup, I'm afraid.
Pray that he survives.

What? Are they signing Renal? He’s useless.

He can't piss over anyone in the squad.
They're going after that Welsh winger, Dai Allysis, from Swansea.

Turned a corner.

Both the Grealish brothers are the same age.

They've just returned from scaling the twin peaks of Kilimanjaro

Midfield players over 30 who played more than 2000mins in the Premier League 2021/22:

​

Player​	Age​	Position​	Apps​	Minutes​
Moussa Sissoko​	33​	Midfielder​	36​	3221​
Stuart Dallas​	31​	Full Back / Midfielder​	34​	2929​
Oriol Romeu​	30​	Midfielder​	34(2)​	2899​
Kenny McLean​	30​	Midfielder​	29(2)​	2707​
Jordan Henderson​	32​	Midfielder​	29(6)​	2604​
Ashley Westwood​	32​	Midfielder​	26(1)​	2290​
Jorginho​	30​	Midfielder​	26(3)​	2279​
Kevin De Bruyne​	31​	Midfielder​	25(5)​	2205​
Allan​	31​	Midfielder​	25(3)​	2188​
Mateusz Klich​	32​	Midfielder​	26(7)​	2095​
Pascal Gross​	31​	Midfielder​	24(5)​	2043​

Not many players playing significant minutes in midfield into their mid-thirties.

Bear in mind they're making him a Top 5-10 earner in the league (having never played in the league) until he's 34/35 years old.

I know De Bruyne meets all the criteria (apart from he has played in this league) but we'll be saving his legs for the big moments over the next few years with rotation. They have McTominay to come in for Casemiro.

They never learn.

Crazy signing, will cost then north of 150m in transfer and add on costs, wages and Agent fees. I’d honestly not want him at City, he’ll disappear back to a second rate team in Spain before his contract ends, car crash signing.

The FA will argue that the fans in the stadium were under our control and, in the light of previous incursions on the last day, we should have taken extra precautions. As others have said, the ”assault“ of the keeper and the destruction of the goal posts ensured that we would be charged.

What if we fans have a whip-round to pay for the goal posts?
