Man City will be the biggest team in the world over my fucking dead body. You need a massive fanbase, and a few eras of self-funded European and domestic glory for that to occur.

Will it happen? Hard to say. Like you said, it may take a long time. Maybe it'll be in 20-30 years, who knows, but that's certainly the goal. Obviously the leadership feels like making City Football Group a global power is just one part of the approach. NYCFC is absolutely ingenious and is going to go a long way to making MCFC a more household name in America. On top of that, the academy had an incredible year and that's even prior to CFA being completed although it will be ready for next season.

“It has been an outstanding season right across the Academy,” said Allen.

“It all started with the under-12s who won their National Championship and were then selected by the Premier League to go and represent the UK in the Belgium Truce Tournament just before Christmas. They gave a fantastic account of themselves both on and off the pitch and really put us on the map for the season.

“That was quickly followed by the under-13s who got to the national final and unfortunately lost theirs on penalties.

“The u-14s won their title convincingly and the under-15s went to Bulgaria and won a tournament and the under-11s beat Ajax, Cardiff, Arsenal, Fulham and then Chelsea to claim another trophy - it’s been an absolutely fantastic year.”

The achievements of City’s stylish under-18s have been well-documented, as a young side displaying attacking vibrancy and tactical nous stormed to the Northern Division Premier League title.

Excellence at Club level has been matched by a record-breaking achievement at international level, when City became the first club to ever see seven boys capped at England under-16 level in a single season.

Cameron McCulloch, Joshua Murray, Elan Assiana, Sadou Diallo, Will Patching, Cameron Humphries and Lukas Nmecha created history by all featuring for England this term.

Humphries, who also represented England at under-17 level in the Nordic Tournament, was afforded the ultimate honour when he was selected to captain his country in a Victory Shield clash against Scotland.

There's definitely a lot to look forward to in many ways if you're a fan.

 

[Gareth Bale]

fucking hate this franchise shite

 

[wedward]

Man City will never be the biggest club in the world, whatever the means. It's not hard to say. It won't happen. And honestly, who gives a shit? City already spend more money than any other team in the world.

Changing the name of a club so it is more inline with the City brand is incredible.

They can't even fill their own stadium for fuck sake.

It's all about image for the Sheiks. That's all they care about.

Kroenke isn't buying an LA team. That has already been dispelled numerous times. Maybe he should change the Rapids to the Gunners so we can really exploit the brand.

[Peco]

Lol Italy. Lol England. Uruguay and Costa Rica to progress from the group.

Also, fuck Galliani. Fucking Menez? Really? Getting real hard to be enthusiastic about my team. Club needs to get fucking sold like, yesterday.

Yeah, I have no interest in following Milan next season, shit is too depressing.

 

[Herr K]

It's all about Cagliari now. Dat Pinilla.

 

[Yurt]

Pirlo was very sloppy with his passing, but it looked like most of the team were playing at 50%. Nobody was really giving it their all except, Marchisio who made good runs into the box.

He was playing his heart out in the last two games for some reason :/ ffs Claudzilla, save it for Brazil!

Wouldn't look into friendlies too much, we tend to play down to our opponents.

Start off shit, peak in the tournament, innit.

SMEGHEAD! <3

Yeah pretty much, I'm not too worried. Even though we're winless since September :lol

 

[CraigerGamer]

Why are united fans so concerned about getting Cesc? Don't they already have Mata who plays a similar role and position?

 

[dc89]

Melbourne Heart are officially Melbourne City FC now. David Villa will go on loan there and play 10 games from the start of the season until their break in January.

New badge:

They're not going to get to play in sky blue due to another team in the league using a similar color scheme already. Fans were not happy with the possibility of a color change as well.

Yeah, you really have to wonder when it's going to end.

It doesn't end. Nothing stops this train.

 

[Herr K]

Why is he cupping his boob?

 

[dc89]

Well really he's holding IP's which are invisible. IP's we can sell and piss UEFA off again.

he's holding baby Ozil

 

[ShogunDarius]

I don't really mind if Fabregas joins City or Man Utd. But not Chelsea, just not Chelsea.

LFC? Spurs?

 

[KidA Seven]

 

[GorillaJu]

Why do they always say "Designed by Manchester United?" I would want to stay as far away from any credit for those as possible.

 

[Blablurn]

wut

:loooooooooooooooooool

They think they're Apple.

 

[operon]

City's academy had a great year so many players made the jump to the senior team. ... oh wait

3SIXTY LOOK AWAY

Lambert is better suited to helping in build-up play rather than merely finishing the goalscoring chances. Nevertheless, that isn&#8217;t to say he can&#8217;t get on the end of these opportunities when needs must, as only Suarez (17) and Sturridge (14) netted more clear-chances than Lambert (11) last season.

Only Suarez (71), Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie (both 49) and Steven Gerrard (44) have registered more goals and assists than Lambert (43) in the last 2 Premier League seasons

 

[FootballFan]

Sounds legit!

Bla! Want to play again tomorrow morning?

 

[Yurt]

Forza Ciroooooo! Don't let them down in Germany baby.

 

[Blablurn]

Bla! Want to play again tomorrow morning?

I don't know :/ I have no chance anyway :\

I feel like...

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I want to see the Costa and Cesc deals wrapped up as soon as possible.


Pls

^^ Wes ! Put that in the WC thread!

I don't know :/ I have no chance anyway :\

What does that even mean

 

[Jack cw]

Forza Ciroooooo! Don't let them down in Germany baby.

I have no doubt that he will be as good as the glorious Ruggiero Rizzitelli. Italian strikers in Germany become world class.

Thats Seabass. The guy who destroyed PES.

Corinthians' stadium is SO good looking. Final should be held there.

I know right

 

[GQman2121]

United have been releasing those cute little diamond posters with their World Cup players.

We've made overpriced tee shirts. :/

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Designs like hot garbage.

 

[GQman2121]

Shat out you could say.

 

[Jack cw]

I know right

Luca Toni was already awesome when he joined Bayern

 

[Yurt]

I don't normally go for those overpriced boots but I'm making an exception this time

Bianconeri-esque <3

 

[TeddyBoy]

Why are united fans so concerned about getting Cesc? Don't they already have Mata who plays a similar role and position?

They'd want him to pay in midfield like in his Arsenal days and not on the wing like he currently does for Barcelona. Possibly partnering Strootman if LvG gets what he wants.

Welcome to FootyGAF!

They're a blue cancer - hopefully Platini squashes them.

 

[dc89]

Michel Platini has told L'Equipe that "somebody, something" is out to discredit him.

"For a year now, everything is being done to discredit me."

"Something" is called the truth Michel.

 

[Yurt]

De Jong is leaving Milan?!

“I am 29 years old and have to make an important decision, to stay at Milan or move to another club,” said De Jong to ANP.

“The Rossoneri are a top club but I want to know what the club’s plans are for next season and what role I’ll play.”

Ted Mosby pls

i...what....WHY? Please elaborate :lol :lol

Try white!

these are simply too white. I'm sorry Giacomo.

"Something" is called the truth Michel.

[Jack cw]

Fair enough... then you might go for those. Style chicks like youd love it.
