Yeah. I thought the lines would be computer generated but it’s just some bloke going: “Put the line on his knee, Derek. Yeah. That looks good. Onside. Recommendation is to give the goal Keith”.

 

The line for Isak's at Anfield was pointing towards our corner flag from just past halfway. 

 

(At least according to my bitter memory but then the cunts only showed it once, said "Hmm that was close" and then confined it to the never to be shown again archive).

Hopefully that’s the final payday for that absolute fraud Allardyce. Leeds deserve to go down for giving him the job with 4 games left or whatever it was. Not that he’ll be arsed. It was win-win for him. Go  down and he didn’t have enough time. Stay up and he’s done an incredible job 

 

Not to mention £500k, kerching.

Aye, they'll stay up and be in for another miserable season. They're financially in a worse than terrible position and don't really have any more players they can sell.

 

In fairness they could get a good wack of money for Pickford, DCL and Onana. Even players like Patterson and Iwobi are potentially useful and young enough to get decent money for.

No-one decent is buying Iwobi. DCL is a crock so would need a season under him to get good money again. Agree on Pickford. Man Utd an Spurs sniffing around.

 

You could get 15m at least for Iwobi. Any team from 10th down would take him. His sheer athleticism is elite in much the same way as Big Joe's is for us. DCL, yeah he does have to prove himself with a season of being relatively injury free, but that just means he'd be 30m to 40m instead of the 60 or 70m they were looking for when he was injury free and on fire about 18 months ago.

You’d be mental paying anything like the lower end of that scale for DCL imo. Which isn’t to say some sides wouldn’t pay that

Aye he can't string 3 games together and his injuries tend to be soft tissue which won't be easy for any buyers to fix. They'd certainly have no guarantee of being able to. Another Woodgate .

Lifted this from a fellow City fan. A different perspective on relative value of players over the years. Basically expressing the cost of a player as a percentage on the league income. Obvious flaws but still interesting

 

 

 

 

Seems to be a focus on the biggest transfer, but the quantity of big signings you've made and the wages you've paid has undeniably accelerated your rise in a way that shook the established top clubs to the core. 

 

There is definitely an effort to stymie the progress of clubs not already in the accepted elite, and I don't doubt that other teams have conducted business in less than honourable ways, but I do think that Man City have used similar dark arts to get the players they want. It's hypocrisy from the likes of Real Madrid and Man Utd to criticise after they've been the beneficiaries of the nautghtiness, but I guess you ( and we) will have to be held to a higher standard.

Pope dropped; Pickford retained :lol:

 

 

 

Unless Pope is looking at treatment for something in pre season that makes no sense. 

 

Nice to see Maguire and Henderson haven't been put out to pasture yet
