I know that but I just don't see pep and txixi thinking he's worth that can't see them paying more than £50m when we've already lined up a cb for free in the summer.

We are more likely to shell out £70m on him than Liverpool. Our balance sheet is better, we don’t have debt, our revenue is higher, we can accommodate the wages, and we don’t have a new stand to pay for.

So what is it likely that players will want? To win trophies? Which of the clubs above offers a better opportunity to do that? To play for the best manager in the world? Which of the above clubs have a better one? To challenge themselves by playing Champs League football? Which of the above clubs has a better chance of challenging for that? At least two of them won't even qualify. To improve their bank balance? Will a player earn more elsewhere? To enjoy playing top quality football with a world class squad of players? Which of the above has a better squad? It may well be that VVD wears Kenny Dalgleish underpants and decides to join Liverpool, and good luck to him if he does, but to chastise City fans for pointing out the bleeding abvious that we are now an attractive destination for players misses the fact that we're now a major force and smacks of littlecityitus imo.

It smacks of nothing mate. You've made a confident statement & I'm asking you to validate it. It's really simple.... If it's your personal opinion, please save us time and say so. If you have evidence of opposition fans & players saying so, please provide the proof.

I've always thought City was the best place for any player, but so would most fans in respect to their own clubs. This season isn't finished yet & last season we finished 3rd.

As it stands it's 3 years since we've won the league, so please provide the evidence that everyone thinks City are the most attractive proposition for any player....

How much do they still owe Ikea for that stand?

OK, so let's deal with the facts as we have them.... Both Teeth & LFC came out & said Coutinho is not for sale at any price. The fact is they have not sold him for any price offered.

Have you heard Liverpool change their narrative on Coutinho since? If not, then it's reasonable to assume that when LFC said Coutinho is not for sale at any price, they meant it.

They did the same thing with Suarez and sold him the summer after. Don’t believe everything you read.
 
Even though it's been a while since we missed out on a player we wanted I hope we don't start pretending we weren't in for him or that he isn't very good if and when he does decide to join Liverpool.

At this moment you are pretty much guaranteed a Premier League winners medal if you join us in Jan. I hope I don’t regret saying that. But no other team can offer that - Swansea maybe can offer Championship football.

Tevez left United to join City. Walker left Spurs to join City. Sterling left Liverpool to join City. By all accounts Sanchez is desperate to leave Arsenal to join City. Stones left Everton to join City. Anyone we've wanted to keep left to join a rival recently? I'm able to be objective when discussing City and there was a time when I'd have been happy to admit that we were way down the pecking order for potential signings. That simply isn't the case these days and for you to claim otherwise is bizarre

It’s an off-shoot of the original series. It stars John Inman as a tailor in a high security prison. Julian Carey plays the prison governor with Lenny McLean (RIP) as the chief warden. It had some beautifully observed moments of pathos, interspersed with a number of somewhat repetitious jokes about inside-leg measurements. I think putting a tailor in a high security prison was a bit contrived and I never really understood the meaning of the show’s title. 6/10.
