Football Media

[Sparklehorse]

Isn’t it funny, we have the best player in the world, acknowledged, deserved and understood by all (well most) football fans. And yet, ten minutes after being awarded the accolade, the story pretty much disappears from public view. Almost every story on Sly is about the Swamp. Imagine if Fernandes had won it. I know exactly why they do this of course, but what I can’t understand is how they get away with it, time and time and time again ? They are pissed off to almost bursting point, if the charges are dropped, which is a distinct possibility, that is when the explosion will come. Get the popcorn in gents.

The UK media is still childish helmets. European media seems to have woken up.

Yes there is something in that but as someone pointed out the fat slug was having a go at RM and rightly so, but if a non-Spanish player had won, would he have been so disparaging? I suspect not.

He’s not the media though. Part of the media votes for Rodri over Vini

Isn’t it a 100 journalists that vote ? Where were they from ? The biggest travesty for me was Haaland last year not winning it, he was so far ahead of anyone else in his achievements it must have been painful for him to see the Messi(ah) win it.

They're from the top 100 FIFA ranked countries, as far as I can see online.

Mendy wins some money off City.

Mendy wins some money off City.

Some being £11 million quid. I'd like some money like that. Although stupid, I think he was vindictively prosecuted. City should sue CPS for damages

I just can’t get my head round why we have to pay a guy who is in prison. How is that not a breach of contract on his part

[blues2win]

It was 8.5 million and I think related to the period when he wasn’t in prison.

[carl_feedthegoat]

At the end of the day he was found not guilty and City had the obligation to pay him .
No idea why they didn’t as they were never going to get away with not paying him .

As far as I can remember he was banned by the FA and couldn't attend training or play. Maybe the club did the smart thing by not paying him and can now claim against the FA that it was them banning him from training that left him unable to fulfill his contract.

[blues2win]

The Judge ruled that when he was in custody and couldn’t play it was his fault for breach of bail conditions. However, once released from custody he was prevented from training and playing because of an FA suspension and bail conditions. Interesting to see whether City appeal this ruling.

Agreed. We could have sorted this quickly with Mendy avoiding any drama!

I stand corrected, I just took 2 press reports of £11.5 million and £11 million ( majority of) to be fairly accurate. Thanks for pointing out that you think it was only £8million.

Quite a bit of noise on Twitter about Zubimendi signing for us in January -:

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi and his team are open to a move in January if the right opportunity presents itself. Previously rejected Liverpool, he is extremely close to Rodri...

He came on for Rodri in the Euro's final. Looked really good.

Thanks mate , sounds like we need him

[Nick]

Get him at all costs (and I've barely watched him..)

[salford city]

He's a poor man's Rodders but they all are. We don't have a solution in the squad. Get him in or equivalent and I don't see any bettwr alternatives. It's a risk worth taking wirhout which we will not win the league never mind chumps and I'm ok with that if it goes against a summer rebuild

A shame we didn’t stick with Lavia instead of buying Phillips.
