I somehow dislike you more than I dislike Arsenal fans, I hope Swansea get battered today.
William Myers
Because Conte really really wants a target man. Apparently they agreed for Giroud with Arsenal, but he's in the team tonight... Michy won't be sold tomorrow either, I think, because Morata is injured, so we will have to wait the 1st of January to see if something happens.
>Manchester City have been told it will take a “mind-blowing” offer to sign Riyad Mahrez from Leicester, with Pep Guardiola understood to be keen on adding the Algeria international to his squad after it emerged Leroy Sané will be sidelined for at least 11 matches.
Guardiola is fucking ridiculous. "Oh no one of my players is injured for 6 weeks. We should spend £80m on a replacement!"

Friendly reminder City players will NEVER have academy players in their 1st team for long. they will sell them after enough buzz so they can fund their extravagant spending. this is why theyve signed 20 players from NYCFC; so they can sell them off for £5m. bingo. FFP sufficed
Jose Lewis
#LFC XI to face #HTAFC: Karius, Lovren, Gomez, Robertson, Matip, Can, Henderson, Milner, Firmino, Salah, Mane.
>VVD will solve defense problem la
Ayden James
City always wanted to have 2 wingers on each side and 2 strikers
Hence going after Sanchez in the summer and winter. Another leftwinger was earmarked for the summer but they're just pushing it forward in jan (instead of getting Fred now) because of the injury

Wasn't Joe Hart in their first team for like 7 years?
It's looking like the triple swap will happen. Kicker are reporting a 1.5m loan fee for Batshuayi to Dortmund, and right now they're just discussing an option to buy.
Have you ever had a bunch of extra cash lying around and just decided to buy something?
Brody Taylor
>they're just discussing an option to buy. >for Chelsea's only good forward what are they doing
Oliver Robinson
Would Laporte not cost like £30m more since Bilbao have that weird tax thing
Justin Rogers

Hunter Phillips

worth every penny
Angel Gomez
on their website it says Laporte himself paid his release clause, which sound like he was given the money from City
Juan Thompson
Don't you ever fucking reply to me again, you pathetic knob jockey.
Jace Ross
Laporte's pretty cute
no homo
Michael Smith
>what are they doing Crashing this plane
Spain in general. Technically to activate a release clause the player has to pay it, which means adding the 50% tax from the 'earnings' they get from the buying club to pay it. It's just Bilbao are one of the few clubs that actually insist on that.
Nicholas Price
That's legally how release clauses work. You have to buy yourself out of the contract
Caleb Powell
Hart was from Shrewsbury or somewhere shit
Thomas Wood
Yeah, but the problem is the timing now. No way Giroud can play tomorrow, so Michy can't go, but the transfer window closes tomorrow night. Consider Willian is kill too, so I can't see a front 3 without Michy.
Of course a part of me is just hoping this doesn't happen and is finding an excuse, but I wouldn't put my money on it happening.
Joseph Jones
Looking forward to Black Panther, lads?
Jaxson White
So it probably was a £90m transfer?

>"Sanchez is too expensive!" >Here's £70 million + £900k in wages for a far inferior player
Or, you know, Sanchez chose United over City because he doesn't want to play for a mickey mouse club that nobody had heard of before 5 years ago...
But that's too sensible, logical and rational isn't it?
Jose Allen
bt sport lad

Cuz the FA is stupid as hell. Appoint Koeman coach, play a formation that isn't 433 and maybe we could qualify for a tournament

Wait a minute, no it doesn't. It's fucking retarded and Pep is a shit, chequebook manager.

A skeptical man might say that City's rich owners are buying off the media or at least currying favour by offering hospitality and other extra perks to the countries journalists.
After all, the whole ""project"" is all about PR. Their main focus is that they are looked on favourably and that we ignore their human rights record.
