Anybody know anything about this lad -:

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk ... s-20453328

We had a brief discussion about him in another thread, he cannot sign just yet as he isn't 18 until June and even then he's not coming until summer 2022 then not sure if to the ETIHAD or one of the sister clubs. iirc the money mentioned last week was circa £5m but talk of his mate joining in the deal at £9M.

I think the general consensus was that more than likely a money spinner than top flight talent, hence no rush. we did manage get a few cake puns out off it though

Don’t tell me , Yaya would have been happy-

Someone said it was the cake that was promised to Yaya

The selling club could have their cake and eat it (referring to the buy now, loan straight back for year)

Joking aside they reckon he's the new Neymar & have a read here viewtopic.php?f=119&t=55973

Pep at it again, we are not in the elite!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... final.html

I don't understand peoples problem with this, we are not UCL elite as we haven't won it, let alone multiple times, he does say we want to be.

He does however say that the Premier is the priority which either has been taken out of context or Sheikh has changed his priorities?

I have have a problem with him alluding to City “not being in the elite “ because he is not using the same context as you, we have this when we play the rags, blowing smoke up their collective arses, getting fed up of it to be honest, if as he says the PL is the priority, the implication being it is harder to win, why does he then big up what he deems to be an inferior competition?

I agree..Baldie always puts us down when it comes to fuckign History .

He was obviously fuckign shit at it at school.

I don't like to hear it in the PL as we are up there now and established. Im not that arsed about it in the chumps league, we have not ripped up any trees in it so far. His job is to bring it home and then start chipping away at both red shite's hauls

But we are actually the elite.

We've been for a decade now.
A bent competition like UCL can't hide the fact we are by far the best english club.

We are the best English team domestically but it doesn’t alter the fact the rags, dippers and chavs have all won the CL relatively recently

Talk about misleading head title, Barcelona's grand plans will crush us. I'd drive the gimp to them in heartbeat

[branny]

Daily Fail have plumbed the depths this week. So much negative shit about us perfectly timed to coincide with what could prove to be one of our best weeks on the pitch.

The first article was one that was published last July about the pl still investigating us re ffp. They published it again this week. Then we had "Why Man City won't dominate the next decade" and finally, after the events at the Swamp on Sunday, our fans that gathered at the Etihad were lambasted for breaking social distancing rules.

They even had a little dig in the headline reporting the win "to get to their first EVER cl final" cnuts.

Loving all this hate. It is breaking their hearts

Perhaps he doesn't actually know we won a European trophy before he was born, before Liverpool did and before Ajax did.

Did anyone mention it was our first CL final?

Four games in a week! This should be in the laughing thread.

Just a fucking shame they have an obscene advantage tomorrow night, they will play the kids and have decent subs, but no way Roma are scoring 5 and not conceding.

Equally they will drop points in the league games which will be nice but not the dippers game though

Bang on though

Manchester is Blue and I love it

[CTID Hants]

Yeah, not sure if anyone else watches the show 22:00 Thursday nights on Sky one.

Putting all the cockney accents to one side, it's fairly watchable if you've had a few beers.

Loved it when he had a rant about dipper and rag fans in London and Manchester being blue, I really hope the hammers Rob chelski of the 4th spot and Brenda robs them of the FA cup

The Grealish link isn't going away. Now some media sources are linking us with Rice and Lewandowski. Can't see either happening. Hopefully Fern will do another year and spending £60m on a 32 year old seems a bit silly as we're not keeping Sergio.

Unless it comes from a very reliable source (which is more and more unlikely, given the absolute silence within the club itself these last few years) I tend to ignore all the BS speculation in press, nothing but click bait, yet we all keep believing the shit, me included sometimes.

Take last summers search for a CB, we were linked with players all over the shop including positions we didn't get or need and were left to believe that Father Ruben was our 3rd or even 4th choice and Messi was nailed on arriving because he told Barca he was off.
