Chelsea want to kill sterling career ,una Dey carry am go wing back

Even as he has been wingback and also lost the ball a couple times. He gave the 2 passes that opened the BHA centers for a goal. 2 times. Gallagher missed and then foolishic. The 2nd time Mason overhit the ball to Havertz.

lordfalcao:
Na God save Jorginho today

Kepa will take the blame today.

andrewbaba44:
Same sterling pep made to he one of the best wingers in the world and they said pep was buying the league

Relax. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. . .

Have they blamed Sterling today?

youngZee23:
Don't forget..With money everything is possible..And how sure are u that pep,city and co are saying the truth..klopp and xavi them ran away cos of the conditions involved..

Klopp and Xavi did not run. Every big team bid for Erling because the transfer fee and other addendums were meetable. It was now left to Erling to decide which team he would go to. That is what I have been saying. The 7 big teams I mentioned there all bid for him. Erling selected City because of the historicity with his family, the sporting project, the style of play, the potential to improve, the watchability of the league and competition, the teammates, the role to fill, the manager and the chance to win.

He said Bayern would have been his next best choice but 2 major things worked against Bayern. The unwatchability of the league and lack of competition as well as the fact that Bayern's best player was the position Erling would have to play in. Bayern promised him they'll get rid of Lewandowski (it leaked) which is why Lewandowski was adamant about leaving Bayern.

He said RM's issue was Benzema occupied that position and that RM clearly prioritized Mbappé. PSG on the other hand had to clear out Neymar to make room for Erling's salary. Mbappe had told PSG to play him in the position Neymar plays in and sign an out and out striker as he [Mbappe] did not like playing as the out and out striker. I could go on explaining things.

Erling simply rejected Liverpool and Barca so it is natural for their salty managers to give an excuse. Fabrizio Romano has repeatedly said every club offered Erling the same money. All the journalists that are usually 100% on City said same but you'd rather believe gossip columns like daily mail that can't get their story consistent?

If Erling came to City for money what historical context do we have to prove that City pays players outrageously? None. Real Madrid and PSG pay their big players more. Bale was earning 600K a week and Neymar, Messi and Mbappe earn crazily as well. Should Erling not sign with PSG instead? Why were they number 4 and then Bayern (a historically stingy club) is number 2. That should tell you that money was not the major driving force.

I can tell you for free that most big name players earn more from endorsements and outside hustle than their salaries. Don't let anybody mislead you. Someone who cannot dance will tell you the DJ was not good.

youngZee23,

City lied.
Erling lied.
Alfie lied.
Soriano lied.
Guardiola lied.
Dortmund lied.
Bayern lied.
Fabrizio Romano lied.
The Athletic lied.
All City tier one journalists lied.

But
Simon Phillips is telling the truth.
Jurgen Klopp is telling the truth.
Xavi Hernandez is telling the truth
Irrelevant Journalist that has been wrong on every thing about City is telling the truth.
Daily freaking mail is telling the truth.

Is it not convenient for someone who is wrong to claim that anyone who is reliable is wrong or lying so that he will not be wrong? Ask yourself.

Dirtyyansh:
.

He rejected your team
No amount of money would have made him choose you.
Win 1 UCL first

Wouldn't you wish that? Well, Napoli asked for 5m extra and City said no. That is the same City that would pay Haaland 500k more per week than their best player. Buahahahaha.

User09:
This is exactly what it is. I was gonna ignore the entire debate cos I was gonna come off as Anti-Chelsea.

How do u exaggerate stories and crap just to prove a nonsensical point. Dortmund audited accounts of multiple years throws the entire rubbish argument into water. By next year when City releases theirs. Watch out for the other leg of the spin.

Never seen someone so ignorant and yet so prideful

I was reading the exchange from the beginning but I wanted to ignore until I noticed other neutral observers started buying the lies as well.

Dirtyyansh:
Cut me some slack, FFP is a joke.
City ought to have been sanctioned if that federation were not toothless.

Barcelona got away with alot of nonsense this transfer window, why were they not punished?

Keep that FFP nonsense in your back pocket.
The teams who have money would bribe their way through & Infantino and his cohorts will overlook it.

City are the best run club in football. Sorry we don't do bribes. We refused overpaying for Jorginho, Cucurella, Kane etc. I could go on and on. The era of breaking the rules has ended. It won't be invalidated by your desire to believe your own wishes and conjectures.

lordfalcao:
City paid Dortmund £51million to sign Haaland, but the whole deal, including agent fees and bonuses, reached around £85million.

As reported by athletic. Agent fees are what made it 85M£..

Thank God for sensible people like you. I know many people on here are allergic to thorough research and speaking the truth so it is always nice to see someone who does not follow the herd.

For those who care to know, the Haaland family put out a documentary on the "Decision" similar to what Lebron did in 2010 when he declared he was going to play for Miami Heats. In that documentary, Erling and his father told the world the order in which they favored clubs. City was number 1. Bayern Munich 2. Real Madrid 3 and PSG number 4. That is from the horse's mouth. Chelsea and Liverpool were 5&5 and Barcelona was number 7.

Everyone and their cat will know that whatever Haaland's financial terms were, all those clubs listed above were willing to meet it. So the family had to use a points based system to rank teams and City finished number 1 which is why he selected City.

Forget all those tales by moonlight about 900k and other junk. Manchester City consider Kevin Debruyne their best player and were never going to offer anyone a salary higher than his. Also, nobody will give a striker crazy bonuses for doing what strikers are supposed to do. Haaland earns the same amount as Kevin Debruyne.

If people consider Bayern a prudent club, then they should explain how Bayern would have spent all the nonsense figures for 1 player. Bayern would never. Don't let people deceive you into forgetting that FFP rules govern transfers. Neymar family are in court in Spain today because of his deal in Barcelona.

City know that due to their recent runnings with UEFA which they won in court, they are now 10 times more diligent and careful about any deal because UEFA will use it to get one back. Stop listening to people that just type whatever comes to their mind on the fly. You should never listen to people who never admit when they are wrong as well.

It is simple. Google the facts I have laid bare here. You can even watch the documentary for yourself and hear Alfie explain things. Everybody pays agency fees. It is usually between 10-20% of the transfer figure. By next season, UEFA even want to clamp down on it.

Buahahahaha @ Haaland going to RM or PSG. Clubs he already rejected. The only reason Halaand will even leave City is if Pep retires. Haaland said Pep was part of why he selected City even though he never goes to teams because of the manager.

For context:

Jodera:
Lol.. if person read that thing, person go think say na Kdb dem buy this season instead of Halaand

You have time.

Ballzproblem2:
sound like like a broken clock,,the fraud has won EPL back to back , nearly turn am to farmers league

He is joking.

WhoDeyHause:
You should be happy people are even analyzing your team. Club with no champions league. I'm sure you also ran away from assnal. .

You try.

Vornan1:
My gee, you have just spoken like a fool

Don't mind trolls. What he does is so easy yet he is the first to have done it.

Pep killed this game and only he will know why. This game was crying for Grealish and Alvarez for Foden and Bernardo. Don't know why he never did it.

Anyway, we move.

All these people trying to analyze my team that don't know squat about us.

Unlimited22:
You're aware that the rule is To let the passage of play end before flagging, àbí?

And what time wasting are we even talking about?

The linesman flagged so the ref used his whistle. You should blame the linesman. As soon as the ref blew, the passage of play ended. Anything that happened afterwards did not happen.

Martinez went down unchallenged and stayed on the ground for 2 mins. Then held unto the ball for many seconds 3 different times before kicking. The FA had said they'll add those to the added time because they wanted to increase the mins of the games in which the ball would actively be in play. That is what they said.

Unlimited22:
What are you talking about lol

Was Coutinho offside?

Did Villa not waste time that was never added? How and why did this game end at 94 mins?

Coutinho was not offside but the whistle had gone before he shot the ball. Abi did you not see both Villa and City players stop running?

So where are the excuses about time wasting?

Mbappé, why?

From the horses' mouth.

Yes, amala. lol

DanieleLorenzo:
Ederson against Southampton during lockdown?

Do you know what is being discussed? If you do you'll know that the Southampton game you are referring to has nothing to do with Ederson losing the ball when pressed or passing the ball wrongly.

Also nobody said he is the best shot stopper in the world. We said at the very least 6 other keepers are better at it than him. But with the ball at his feet, no keeper dead or alive comes close. Not 1.

This is Ederson.

Illimitable:
All we are saying is that Alisson is better than him in sweeping. So the only thing Ederson has over Alisson is distribution. One attribute!

Ederson go chop bench tire at the World Cup.

Alisson is not better than him at sweeping. Alisson just does it more in Liverpool than Ederson is ever required to do it in City. Doing something more often than others does not mean you are better at it than them. It is about what the coach wants.

Pep is using Walker as a midfielder when City are on the attack and Walker ain't got the brains for it.

Illimitable:
Eriksen showed for the ball. He wanted the ball and DDG gave it to him.

Any journalist can say it’s a wrong choice now because Eriksen got caught in possession. Any elite midfielder would turn the marker like amala there.

Xavi did this for almost 10 years when markers pressed him. He would just turn into a safe zone and take the ball with ease.

It is not one journalist. I can bring more than 5 and then many other pundits. I can bring comments from many United fans. DDG made a mistake first before Eriksen. That is the end of the issue.

2017: one of the most intelligent. As clear as day.

You know you have no argument right? Because he still called him the most intelligent in 2017 after having coached Barca and now being at City. Unfortunately you can't gainsay this.

Expert17:
So many bro, imagine making so many errors in Bundesliga, just imagine what would happened if he joins an EPL club.

Bravo and Valdes that were proper ball playing GKs at Barcelona flopped and made so many errors when they tried to play from the back in EPL.

I don't understand some arguments. Everyone I asked to go and bring Ederson's at City don't come back. Man has been here for 5+ seasons and yet they are struggling to show 2.

But I can bring Neuer and Ter Stegen's easily no hassles. I don't get it.

I attached your screenshot and mine so that people can see if both quotes are the same.

In one he adds I enjoyed coaching him which implies he no longer coaches him. Yet he made the same statement that you cannot deny.

Pic 1 is from your link. Pic 2 is from mine. Both are different times. One in 2013, the other after Pep has left Bayern.

Try again.

Bombblacks:
So you mean Manchester city had more intelligent players than the Barca he coached before going to Bayern? This explanation doesn't have foundation to stand on.

How do you define intelligence? Pep said Lahm can play 10 positions perfectly. That is why he rates him so highly.
