More like Bayern youth = not good enough, lol
Yaya's no coming. Bayern does pay outrageous wages (even to crappy players), but not insane, *let me just get high on those oil fumes before I sign your contract* City-level wages.

Twitter says that French News Outlets are reporting that Arsenal have reached an agreement for M'Vila.
I wouldnt believe it, like it was already mentioned his salary is far to high and City would surely command a 30m+ transfer fee. Thats far to much for a 29 year old. But if they were to spend that kind of money they should rather go after someone like K. Boateng. I still believe that Sahin is the most likely candidate.
Opening today

Greg Stobart knows what's up:
Oh fuck off. I support Juve now.
Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Whelan told the BBC a few hours ago that no contact had been made. Also;
Whelan spoke to ESPN earlier today, and he wasn't kind:
DW is a boss. No punches pulled.

Those goddamn Sheik pics make me want to throw up.
Why can't they at least dress & act like normal investors (who happen to be Arab), say...like Hasan Ismaik:
The WC in Qatar will probably be the first WC I'm going to ignore too, lol

ooooh, it's the guy who has a cool tag? Like I'll snowboard into a prison or something?
I see him in the OT sometimes, never seen a pic of him though.Are you racist?
It doesn't have anything to do with race.

Only if you don't know the definition of race.

Well, I did look it up. Your u17 is was actually better than ours (in your regional league) this season. We ended up 4th, you won that league.
Still, they didn't put too many of your players into the first national squad*.
/edit2
* zero Bayern players in the u17 squad
Would "western culture supremacist" be better? it's crazy to judge someone by their appearance, culture, nationality. I dont care if someone likes City or not but it no one should judge the City owners by how the dress / behave. In fact Sheik Mansour seems to be a pretty cool guy, hate to admit it but they at least do a fine job (spending boatloads of money).
Sheikh Mansour
Khaldoon Al Mubarak (chairman)
Both the above are pics of them attending games. The chairman is there most week.
I honestly think they can dress how they wish in accordance to the culture of their own country, especially when they are in said country.

al Mubarak is always in "normal investor" clothing when he takes in City matches as was the Sheikh when he attended. That outfit for him is the same as a suit for a businessman elsewhere in the world.. why would he not wear it?

Nothing. People are just being morons.
Because he represents an english team and not an arabian team?

Pretty much. Maybe if he was wearing a green thong or something like that...

If you've ever been on a flight from the Middle East to the UK you'll see a lot of arabs in traditional dress changing into 'western' clothes on the plane. They rarely wear traditional clothes outside of their own country. But even if they did, what's wrong with that?

well he said no bayern players=losers
it's quite odd that no one is in the national team although they won the league
Very common actually. I don't really get why, our U19 team is also leading their league, and I'm pretty sure we're lucky if one of those players is in the Germany U19.

I tried to derail the thread into posting pictures of cute club fans but nobody cared.
edit: I like the way you think, Salvadora.
Mancini meets the Sheikh.
Oh, the celebratory whores they all must be enjoying. I mean, fun. The fun they must be having! Yay!

Martinez apparently being the favourite over AVB.

See guys? Even Fady thinks you are being morons.
I was 10 stone a year and a half ago. Now I'm 13
I was 12ish (ALL MUSCLE) about a month ago and now I'm verging on that 13 mark. These muffins are so good though.
C'mon bro. How would you feel if you were an investor who went to a foreign land dressed in your cultural clothing only to have people look at you and want to throw up? Hasan Ismaik chose to dress however he chose to, that's fine. Doesn't mean that it's the only normal way.
And you hate it to the point where you would consider, even jokingly, ignoring a whole world cup in Qatar?
The more I think about it, the more I'm warming to the idea of AVB. He plays a style our players should be used to, adept in Europe, and seems ideal for a long term project (at least, he would get longer than he did at Chelsea).
His transfers were also nailed-on (Mata and Cahill have both been great for Chelsea), and I suspect he would be more open to the idea of working with a DOF.
Only problem will be Gerrard and Carragher, although I would hope the former would be gracious enough to give the guy a chance, and the latter will be retiring shortly.

Keep in mind that Mancini is visiting Dubai for the meeting. Sheikh Mansour and Mubarak are wearing their local dress as is fitting with their customs. When they are in England, they wear clothing more in line with that local custom. Makes sense to me. I think for everyone involved the subject should be dropped though (as recommended by Fry).
