Yes, i understand the add ons which are all subject to certain targets being met. It has been almost universally reported that the fee was £51m including SKY today when the said it was a “snip”. My question is why does the BBC away it was £85m ?Probably the final fee with add-ons for appearances, wins etc? I could be wrong but seem to remember something about an additional payment if City win the CL.
I think the most encouraging aspect was the improvement in performance since the Community Shield.The good news is after just 1 game (and yes I know it's only 3 points), we are +5 points net on where liverpool were at this stage last season, we are 3 points better off by winning, and they are 2 points worse off by drawing, so a very good start, we are also 2 points up on the equivalant match (WHU away), and 3 points up on first game.
I didn't think we that we played that well, yes we controlled the game for the large part, and our passing was good, but we didn't really create very much in all honesty.
Because it’s City, we are the only club that get all of the clauses included as well as their wages, annual food bill, cost for their training kit, money it costs to take them to games on the bus etc etc.Yes, i understand the add ons which are all subject to certain targets being met.

His wish is therefore granted.
How does it not seem likely now? Yes he scored 2 1 was a penalty and 1 was a decent finish not a worldy, the goal was made pretty much by the pass, all he did was open his body and slot it, and as for a penalty as a striker you should be sticking them away, don't get me wrong not slagging haaland, but don't see why people are making comparisons with ex player, and if.you do would haaland have done what sterling did to get the cross in for gundo for the first goal against villa? Would haaland have made the run zinch did to set up the equaliser?I don't understand why making some sort of comment amounts to getting on ex-players backs. All people are doing is quoting the scenario as they see it. What it comes down to is we're expecting Haaland to score more than Sterling and Jesus (possibly even more than both of them combined?)
Nobody is criticising those players who have left, we all know they played their part, but facts are facts. For all we know Haaland could be a flop turn out to be a flop but it doesn't seem likely does it? Given the choice right now, who would you rather have?
I miss you supporting your previous team.Grealish makes the attack so flat. He is So scared to impose his game. I missed the incisive run of sterling
I never think of it that way. If we're 10 points clear after 10 games then it's different, but anything can happen yet, something significant probably will.The good news is after just 1 game (and yes I know it's only 3 points), we are +5 points net on where liverpool were at this stage last season, we are 3 points better off by winning, and they are 2 points worse off by drawing, so a very good start, we are also 2 points up on the equivalant match (WHU away), and 3 points up on first game.

The second half Grealish was very good. The first half he was ultra safe, kept it very simple but never looked like a goal or assist threat. If he was playing to orders in both halves then fair enough, he carried out those orders very well but he's got the ability to be a real danger to the opposition - as he showed in the second half. Let's hope we see a lot more of the Jack we saw after half time.Grealish is given a job by Pep not the same job as Sterling why would it be we have a striker now. As long as Grealish does the job Pep wants him to, Grealish will get picked. Thats as much as anyone can ask and all we need.
We drew there late season so surely we are plus 2?The good news is after just 1 game (and yes I know it's only 3 points), we are +5 points net on where liverpool were at this stage last season, we are 3 points better off by winning, and they are 2 points worse off by drawing, so a very good start, we are also 2 points up on the equivalant match (WHU away), and 3 points up on first game.

This has been done to death for the past few hours. Nobody is making comparisons, it all started off when some of us were saying that Haaland is likely to score more 1 on 1s than Sterling.How does it not seem likely now? Yes he scored 2 1 was a penalty and 1 was a decent finish not a worldy, the goal was made pretty much by the pass, all he did was open his body and slot it, and as for a penalty as a striker you should be sticking them away, don't get me wrong not slagging haaland, but don't see why people are making comparison with ex player, and if.you do would haaland have done what sterling did to get the cross in for gundo for the first goal against villa?
