Perez on Haaland.

Interesting, but deluded comments on Mbappe. Perez and Madrid really are self entitled c*nts!

On not signing Erling Haaland​

“We have the best 9 in the world and we weren’t going to bring Haaland to have him on the bench, right? Clause in two years? I don’t know. Now we have no more interest than forming the new team with the youngsters we have and some reinforcements”.

The club president gave a lengthy interview to El Chiringuito

"values and principles" isn't a phrase you normally associate with Real Madrid.

It'll be hilarious if Tchouameni does an about turn and signs for PSG :)

Anything above 15 league goals should be a bonus. He probably will the usual apprenticeship period. His second season should be fun.

Is the right answer. Expectaions on here and about are absolutely bonkers.

Is this The Athletic?

yes

I think Trevor Sinclair was a city fan?

Yeah forgot about tricky Trev. Just to add to this, me and him was mates growing up on the same estate and can categorically say he was never a city fan as a kid.
@ancoats can back me up on this as he was was part of the gang on hillock back in the 80s.

Trevor supported whoever was top of the league, never remember him following us in the 80s as we was shite, he may follow us now but when he was younger no way.

Foden & Palmer for starters, they signed when they were just 8 or so.

Fuck me of course. It is early though :)

I was thinking more 90s and noughties.

if he gets 15 goals next season, the press will be on him like a pack of wolves.

I'm hopeful of 20 plus.

Vile prestige “reporting”

Very good.

Probably nearer Knutsford, it would be more appropriate.

Knutsford, situated in Cheshire, England, was recorded in the William the Conqueror's Domesday Book of 1086 as Cunetesford ("Canute's ford").[2] King Canute (Knútr in Old Norse) was the king of England (1016–1035) and later king of Denmark, Norway and parts of Sweden as well. Local tradition says that King Canute blessed a wedding that was taking place and forded the River Lily, which was said to be dangerous then, though other reports say it was the Birkin Brook at or near Booth Mill.[3] The English Place-Name Society gives the name as being derived from the Old English for Knutr's ford or possibly hillock ford.[4]

Is this the same Canute that disproved to his fawning courtiers that he could hold back tides?

The very same (apparently). I'm an FOC, but not that old!
