Even if they only added Fernando this summer, City's squad will be much better for it next season. When Fernandinho didn't play, he was a big loss for City, and the results showed iirc.

Garcia stepped up in the last two months and City were better for it. Unfortunately, it meant Fernandinho was put on the bench (but because of an injury but that worked out well). Garcia was horrible during the fall though, yes.

If Fernando comes, I'm not sure if Yaya and Fernandinho both can play at the same time, that would mean one striker and three strikers on the bench. That will be interesting to see.

Arsenal will have to spend big to compete in this market. When international class players like Luiz are going for 40 million. How much will world class talent cost?

FFP?

Even if City are moving in the right direction (Sagna's wages lol), they didn't move quickly enough


Simple as that. Suck it up, take your medicine, stop whinging.




Seriously, in a market where Luiz is worth £50m, Suarez must be £120m+.

It's become ridiculous. Fucking bonkers. There's no sense to it.

Part of me thinks this is a fuckng brilliant strategy by PSG at this stage of the transfer window:

You buy a mediocre player for an enormously inflated fee at the start of the transfer window.

From there on out, every chairman on the planet is going to play the "but Luiz cost £50 million so my player is worth double" game with their players.

Now that clubs have to comply with FFP, it'll stagnate the market at the top end.

Genius.

Next summer, shortest board meeting of all time

'Oh shit son, where did that £50m come from? All those PSG shirts you sell that don't exist, yeah? Get the fuck out of our competition.'

 

[Meier]

Well sure.

But once FFP came in, Chelsea could've just as easily continued in their ways.

Also, no sympathy for City. Spending £100m+ when you already have a fucking amazing squad.

This is how false information is continually spread. City spent ~£86m last summer after selling Tevez for around £10-12m and Balotelli for £20m. The net spend last summer was closer to £60m or thereabouts on top of a net of £10m+ in wages being removed from the bill.

 

[Manager]

Van Gaal & Rekik.

Will be very interesting to see what happens to him, such a talent but seems a bit prone to mistakes. Can City afford to gamble?

Shouldn't be in the Dutch league next season though.

I remember when Shearer went to Newcastle for £15m

Signing Negredo for £30m and Jovetic for £28m gives City no room to complain about FFP at all. And they paid Tevez £200kpw to go on holiday during the season. Fuck 'em.

He would be great but it would seem a bit unprofessional from Txiki and Ferran if it really went out that way. Why the hell wouldn't they talk to Fernando and stop him from signing that extension? Why didn't anyone look closer on the rules about him playing for Portugal? Why are City still chasing him if he's that expensive?

Such a weird scenario, surely someone has done something stupid in all of this. However, one could hope that Fernando negotiated a low release clause. The reported €20m for him is full price and too much in this situation IMO.

I'm sure they did talk to Fernando but he had a desire to play in the World Cup and that outshines most everything I'd think. Like I said, I wouldn't be surprised if Pinto paid someone a little something to make sure the ruling on Fernando went past the transfer window. He's a shrewd businessman and these decisions are usually pretty darn quick. It certainly raises some red flags.

I think he is comfortably a €20m player so if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes. Garcia's agent says he isn't going anywhere this summer but I can't really envision a use for him if we do bring in Fernando. Some talk we might get the deal down lower by loaning Rony to Porto for next season.

Negredo cost £16m plus potentially £4m bonuses. Jovetic cost £22m. Once again, lies and misinformation being spread, everyone are adding fees and sums all over and then it spreads.

Plus, Tevez had to pay his salary back, don't remember how much of it.

He lost total £9.3m on his fights.

PSG and City aren't big clubs yet though (going with fanbase and popularity on this). They won't be huge misses imo, maybe City will, but PSG? Not so much.

X-Men was good. Still too much Jennifer Lawrence, who is just coasting in this and not putting any effort in. Still some duff lines in the screenplay. But performances are pretty good overall, there's two brilliant action sequences. 7/10 m8s

 

[Meier]

These numbers are absolutely incorrect. Negredo cost £16.4m and Jovetic cost £22m.

And as we discussed the other day, Tevez only received anything at all because the PFA forced City to pay a bigger portion of his wages than they were willing, but the club fined him significantly and took away his loyalty bonus which significantly outstretched his wages from the same period. He lost a shitload of money from his tantrum.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Sky Sports now reporting Luiz to PSG for £50 million!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people just switch currency signs rather than convert. Almost certain this is Sky doing just that.

I pre-ordered FM14 for about £15 from there. It was honoured and my account didn't get banned.

He's not even good enough for the Eredivisie. You want to see him in Belgium next season?

I thought he was one of the best dutch defenders in the league, he's been bad? Wasn't he picked in the "Eredivisie national team" by Van Gaal a few weeks ago?

Read he was prone to mistakes this year, as expected from a 19 y/o.

Well you should be with Confuziz for the specifics but what I've seen from him wasn't great imo. Well at least he did better than those morons they had in their backline last year but that's not much of an achievement. But maybe I shouldn't be too harsh on him. PSV's season as a whole was one big failure.

Very narrow way of looking at things. Milan, Inter, Liverpool and Arsenal are bigger clubs than PSG and City. Those clubs have alot more prestige you don't get that after winning cups for three years
