Won't affect us.

Unless he regresses significantly Alderweireld will be a City player to me next season.

You don't get this 'fan' thing do you ?

Being a City fan is not about money , it is about being a city fan come rain or shine , win or lose .
you cannot buy into being a city fan , you just do .

apparently i dont.

silly me. i was over here thinking that being a fan rain or shine, win or lose was sufficient, and that it was about supporting the entity MCFC since players and mangers come and go. as long as each City player gives their all on the pitch while wearing a City shirt i couldn't care less if they played for United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Inter, Barca, or Zenit before coming. and frankly, i dont care what they say about the club when they're not here; if they're not a City player its kind of their obligation as an opponent to speak down about other clubs. however, once they are a City player what they say and how they act matters to me. plus, what an opposing player says about City shouldn't affect you; if you really were a City fan you'd be comfortable in knowing that whatever they're saying is likely false. "fuck you City, you suck" "well, no we dont. sorry".

am i supposed to fight opposing fans like an immature, insecure child? no, sorry. im a grown ass man--that shit is beneath me.

i actively hope our opposition loses matches and gets eliminated from compeitions (so long as it benefits us). but im not gonna sit here and wish players get injured or die and hurl derogatory comments towards them. its a sport/game. grow up.

Tevez helped win us the title. am I still supposed to think ill of him?

and where is this "buying" and "money" bit coming from? you lost me there.

Leeds have just signed Grot. How fitting.

Beeker re-signs, media go mad.

Big Nose is back for the Rags. Strange one you'd think they'd move on and be glad they got the goals out of him last season. It's not great news for the likes of Rashford and the French lad.

I actually think this is good news.
He may still have goals in him but I think the probability of him disrupting what seems like a good balance in the team and the very good start they are having, is quite high.
With Rooney and himself out of the picture, I think the removal of two huge egoes was very beneficial to them.
His return while he is in decline increases the odds of him or others falling out with Mourinho, depending on who's dropped. IMO.

WBA sign Oliver Burke from RB Leizpig for £15m on a five year deal. Chadli on his way to Swansea? Where he will hopefully be joined by Bony

You are clutching at straws. They know what he is. He is another option for them. In my humble view less options for them is better.

That's as may be but a rag mate of mine expressed the exact same concern to me yesterday although he did reckon that Twatan wouldn't be match fit until December so it may not cause an issue straight away.

I suppose time will tell.
TBH. He never was and never will be a player I'd like any where near our squad despite his obvious qualities.
Suits them.

...said no adult ever. Funny that you say having a go at opposing teams is for immature and insecure children - then go on to use a phrase that people use when they're acting immature or insecure.

Like I've said before phips, there's more to football than what you learn from playing Fifa or football manager. People here are trying to tell you, but you refuse to listen.

Why? Because you're "a grown ass man"

Can't help but think of phips as being just an enormous arse now.

Barcelona finally sign Ousmane Dembele for 105m plus potential 42m more in bonuses making him the 2nd most expensive player ever (until Mbappe is sorted) less than 2 calendar years after debuting in top tier football.

Considering he cost about £12m a year ago, Dortmund have done exceptionally well. Be a few lit candles in dipperland for Coutinho tonight!

Glad Dortmund have lost one of their best players. Can't stand them! Always a selling club. Can only see them going to shit from here.

They've a good wedge now though to see them through.

No point in having money if no decent player wants to go there. They're fuckin shit and always have been.

Think that's a bit harsh mate. Won a few Bundesliga's and have a CL pot on their sideboard. They may well be a selling club but shit they ain't.

The club isn't shit, but they tend to attract some shit support. Hipsters love them and spurs. Just obscure enough to be different (for the average American), without having to deal with watching them struggling week in/week out
