Every fucking club that either can't afford or simply misses out on a player could release this bullshit each time.
But they don't.

Because they're not so far up their own arse to think everyone else needs a statement to explain they're not able to complete a signing


These red twats are so poorly run that they used to do this shit every year to get people to buy season tickets and then drop out after people have paid the money. We came along and now they have to admit they’re fuckin shit and can’t compete with us. Cunts.

I do love the fact that they are crying in public - not a new thing for them. Klopp having to back the owners and their policies - or lack of is also great to see . Fuck you and the rest of the cartel

they're just terribly run simple as that and they've now found themselves in a position where they need to buy around 8 players this summer just to compete for a top 10 place, forget the cl! of course that means they can't buy one for around £100m....
they can't even bolster their kitty with any decent cash from player sales.
contrast that with our position - we could easily bring in £200m in fees this summer if we off load:
cancelo, laporte, silva, harwood-bellis, mcatee, doyle x2, steffen, kabore plus a few other academy players...

Why do they have to buy new players? It was only last year Klipperty was telling us they have the 2 best players in the world for each position. How odd

According to that Tomlie character on the board that shall not be named, Bellingham is ours.

As ever taken with a pinch of salt and if it is true then i hope to God that we do another transfer like we got with Haaland i.e. circa £55M instead of the reported £100M+ as that will seriously fuck Klipperty off

It’s going to be £130m unfortunately as that’s the asking price. But when you factor in that we got Haaland for £51m then £181m for those two ain’t bad at all. PSG paid that just for Neymar.

Agreed Mase. He will for me gel with Jack Foden and his mate Erling. No brainer.

I can easily see traction in this. Lots of things going in our favour for this

1 We have a decent working relationship with Dortmund with a number of transfers over the years

2 He is massive mates with Haaland and knows a lot of our boys through the England set up

3 We know we need a midfielder to replace Gundogan and possibly Bernardo and he fits the bill perfectly

4 We are one of the very select few clubs who can afford him and we have money in the bank

5 We can offer trophies and almost guaranteed CL football. Something no other English club can.

6 Madrid are on the decline and when we beat them in a few weeks his mind will be made up

Mad that when the rags are offering more money for players. What about Chelsea - unlimited weekly pay. But if you come to City, despite winning everything for the last 10 years, “oH iTs bEcaUse of MonEy”

He's coming. I called it out months ago, wasn't a guess just a feeling that I cant explain, same one had with Haaland.

I don't really care about the price, whatever we do, we'll be condemned either way. I'd splash 150m just piss off, Hitler Kraut, BBC, BT Sports, Humphreie, Simon Jordan, Levy, rags, spitter, vermins, slug Tebas.

Genuine Question Mase, why do you sometimes mix the caps lock on/off when repying?

Does it confuse bots or summat, i guess there is a reason?

It's a pisstake of angry/ mental social media posting style (I think), just looked on wiki and it seems to be that.

I would be very surprised even shocked if we don't sign him, have felt for a long time that he would end up at city.
It just ticks all the boxes.

My thoughts exactly. Feels just like Haaland to me. No-one has the transfer and wage package to match from potential suitors. Looks like Gundo and Bernie will go which makes it all the more likely
