LMAO grin

What is it, 6-7 mentions and none of the Man Utd trolls could actually address my earlier point.

So I went through few pages on here and I find some comments trolling Arsenal. This I find amusing because it's coming from the fans of a club that haven't exactly bettered Arsenal in the last five years or so. Yep, not in trophy haul, not in better league position, not in better quality of football play, OK I give it to you guys, you've spent at least five times what Arsenal spent in that period, so credit where it's due grin.

Point stands though; rubbish Arsenal (I'm not arguing this, I accept we are rubbish grin) have been finishing ahead of your team for five years now (no, I'm not celebrating this like some of you were mischievously implying in your comments, just stating facts), with same number of trophies having spent a fraction of your budget.

You all, just like me, should do the honorable thing and accept your club is super rubbish.
Honorable and the lot of these ones in one sentence?

Why didn't Pep bring 6 subs when Liverpool hammered his side? He is lucky he got a result yesterday else the argument would be different today. He would be meeting the rest of the top 6 in the coming weeks, I dare Pep to show up with 6 subs in each game.

These are some of the issues other coaches have with Pep. It almost feels like an entitled arrogance of some sorts. He has been allowed to wear the yellow ribbon in support of Catalonia but if Mou wore that or any other coach, they would have heard it from the FA by now. No one is bigger than the league, the EPL is a very physical league and every team especially ball playing teams suffer the brunt. Ramsey, Reyes, RVP, Diaby to mention a few from my team have suffered horrific injuries from tackles during games. The same goes for other players from other teams.

Pep must be very careful not to get into a head on with the British media because they would ruin his stay in the EPL and force him out irrespective of result.
Baba, all these injuries did not happen in one season and I am sure atleast 3 players got red carded for it each of the times. Compare that to City.

It is not entitlement to complain when teams have made it a norm this season. I am sure we did not see him complain about tackles this much last season.

Yeah man. I hate these refs. These refs wear black and gray uniforms because everyone knows it destabilises the warriors team rhythm. They also blow into the ears of warriors players to make them miss shots. It's sad man. The NBA needs to do something about how these refs treat the warriors. Everyone knows the warriors are so good only refs can make them lose.

Draymond cost us this game with his stellar clutch turnovers. Curry did it better and turned it over throughout the game. I thought Ayesha was the one pregnant not Curry with baby number 3. Klay Thompson should just let us know he's building a mansion with hard bricks.


The team is truly mentally fried right now. They need a break.
Bro, 3 FTs for that tackle by Shaun L with 4 mins to go then give Nick Tech for rightly calling that he was fouled on that last 3 with score line at 109-105.

Sure Draymond goofed and Curry has been turning the ball over but if we see bad thing make we call am.

You don't blow a 12pt lead and expect to win. We are now 1.5games ahead of the Rockets and Kerr cannot yell at his players but Refs should mind their business and be fair.

Curry was even fouled on 2of his 3s no call. Nah. I no dey like all these FTs winning at all.

The main reason I hate engaging in debates with you is that when it comes to Pep, your hypocrisy is so nauseating - not even because of your long epistles.
THE IRONY. Why am I just seeing this now? cheesy

In the first paragraph you're mocking United for not being like City and other clubs and walking away from deals deemed too expensive, in the second paragraph, your amnesia kicked in because within few seconds you also listed a case of Perisic where we walked away. This is what hypocrisy causes.
I am responsible for my post not your understanding of it. In any case (and since it was lost on you) the joke there was that united would've become interested and even paid over the price if City had bid for the player.

Other clubs walks away, you say? After Chelsea had almost signed Robinho, which club swooped in at the last minute, offer Robinho more riches and snatched him from Chelsea? I guess that club is Shooting Stars of Ibadan. Your hypocrisy stinks!!
Objection. Relevance: I never cared for City until Pep signed.

From the beginning of time, clubs have always been hijacking deal by offering more incentives to a player. It's not a bad thing. Even your beloved Barca have done it in the past, but because United are involved, suddenly OTHER clubs walks away not us. Did Chelsea walk away even after it's clear that Tottenham had already agreed deal with Willian? You're here trying to make a normal occurance that's been happening since time immemorial to look bad because we got Sanchez. Your hypocrisy stinks!!
I remember saying "it is allowed" in my best MI Abaga impression. Your sister (whom I was conversing with saw it). Redundant ^^^.

Your post is just a skyscraper of hypocrisy. Man City have been chasing Messi for years, with rumors even saying they offered him a blank cheque. Even when it's clear that Barca have made it clear that they're not selling their prized possession, but yet your saintly City didn't walked away. It boils down to who wants it more and who's ready to pay to get a player which is not a bad thing as most clubs do it depending on their financial strength. When PSG snatched Dani Alves from City even though he'd already agreed to join City, I didn't see your wailing calling them out for being desperate enough to offer Dani Alvez more money to take him from City. Even Loserfool had to hasten up to sign Van Dijk and flew their medical personnels down to Bournemouth Airport to conduct medicals on VVD before Man City snatched him from them. I repeat, your hypocrisy stinks!!
LOL. My post is in Antartica and yours is in Kaffeklubben Island. If City wanted Messi for half of Sheikh Mansour's worth, it is not the point. The act of desperation will be the Glazers selling everything they own (after both teams have agreed terms) to now offer Barca say 500M above that. Stick to the narrative please. If your conjecture about City and VVD was true, City only needed to offer Southampton 90M and the selling club would have put a stop the Liverpool sale. Ed Woodward knows what I'm talmbout.

Last season City finished trophyless. Pep was in a "desperate" mood to overhaul his squad, so he's willing to meet the huge amount clubs were asking for his targets, even when many people were complaining he didn't care. City were so desperate that they're ready to pay a whooping £70m for the services of Sanchez but Mourinho no send Sanchez then. We used to complain back then that Mourinho should be rivaling Pep for Sanchez's signature and that United were dulling in letting City being the only competitor for his signature. . Note that this hypocrisy you're projecting now is seriously irritating because City would've spent more than United in the total cost of signing Sanchez if they had landed him last year because:
The conjecture per word ratio of this paragraph is a world record. But let me go along with it for personal amusement: Sanchez had a year left and the selling club set a value that City accepted. Imagine, say PSG coming now to offer AFC 90M to get the player. That will be the despacito desperado.

1. Man City would've forked out £70m Assanal valuation of him.
2. City would've paid agent fees.
3. City would've paid Sanchez's signing-on fees.
4. City would've paid Sanchez a weekly fee of 300-350k, especially with how desperate other clubs wanted him after a fantastic season.
5. City would've also negotiated and paid Sanchez other bonuses that comes with contract signing including the image rights.
The emboldened is the only thing I agree with. I see how you are trying to justify your club's spending at the same time. Smart. Only problem is, City already said they were not going to pay anyone above KDB. Which put paid to the would've(s) you wrote above.

When you add the above expenses to the fact that it'd be paid over a 4 years contract, if United are spending the purported £170m through out his contract, City would've paid within or even above the range of £200-300m for 4 years contract. Facts!!
grin grin grin grin grin grin

None of us have the real figures in his contract
Pheww. Finally.

if consider we're getting him for free via a swap, and the fact that we just increased signing-on and agent fees and offered a bit more image right fees
grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Then City would have still out-spent us if they had landed Sanchez on 4 years deal. That £70m alone for a player with a year contract remaining shows the zenith of desperation. Don't come here yapping about United being the only desperate club.
JK Rowling will be proud. But..but 500-600k per week for a player with 6 months left is the nadir of desperation.

Now as I was typing, when City couldn't land him, they went ahead without him and started having an absolutely fantastic season. Not even Pep had seen it coming.
You sure do know how to sneak these in. cheesy

Now, they no longer needed Sanchez that much. Sane is on fire. City are obliterating oppositions like it's nothing. The rumors were that City will come back at the end of the season to take him away, but then Jesus got injured, and City wanted to bolster their squad so they went back in January and heard that United had offered Sanchez more money in signing-on fees, agent fees and image rights. City knowing they don't need Sanchez that much, backed away. This is just the fùcking truth. If City was in United's position, they would've done all it took to get him.
But..but..you said they were in United's position beginning of the season when Wenger even asked for Raheem. I see how Pep gave him a younger player with 3 years left on his contract for an older one with 6 months left for 2.5 times the wages. I see it.

This excuse of Pep is balderdash if City could afford to spend more than 200m on Sanchez over a 4 years contract last season. It's balderdash if City have been chasing Messi for years who would cost up to 300m (before his new contract) with shocking wages. It's balderdash coz City were in the race of Mbappe who would've cost them not less than 120m not even including the agent fees, weekly wages et al. So, yes, United were the ones in desperate need of him now so they offered more. Last season City were in desperate need of him and offered more than Bayern and PSG.
Ditto what I said earlier. But just incase: Selling club sets price. Buyers agree or not. Desperados come in after and offer 20M more than the seller even asked for. It is the game so it is allowed but it smacks of desperation.

City wanted Laporte, even though he broke Pep's heart by going back on his agreement with him to sign a new contract, Pep who the dumb columnists reported never forgives or goes back to his targets that betrays him, still went back out of his desperation to solve his defensive issues and broke the club's record to sign him. If City were as desperate as they were last season when they had a bad season, they'd pay the same amount for Sanchez!!
City paid the player's buyout clause. Period. Gary Neville, a United legend, (albeit I know your manager has been deriding a few of them lately like he would soon do SAF and you would come here to rationalise it). But yea, he asked United to hijack it. What he meant was offer ATB 90M and the player *coughs* "a little bit more" *coughs* than City to get him. A spade is a spade, not a farming tool. It is desperation, call it by its real name.

Not just Raheem, Gundogan was bad. He held unto the ball too long and always wanted to bring the ball back to his right leg to shoot even when he was clean on goal with the left.

It is painful because the draw came from a winning position and right after a big miss but it is what it is. They looked tired as well so this 1 week should help.

ChristineC:
except you have a detailed manuscript of transfer timelines from the Manchester United board then I'm not too sure what you are implying.

So there's also need for some club to "scout" an unknown player like Riyad Mahrez before a bid can be submitted?
Was it also because Manchester United "jumped" on the Dembelé bidding that made him cost more than Zimbambwe? So with all those UK defence budget spent on Manchester City's defense, United was behind the scenes throwing in cheeky bids for players they didn't need just to inflate prices for City?

Quote where you dropped these "desperado" sermons on this platform after the Neymar deal, the Mbappe deal, the Coutinho deal, the Dembelé deal, the Aubameyang deal, the Stones' deal or the Sterling deal.
Now the difference between these and what your United do is, in the cases above the clubs themselves set the value. If an interested club cannot pay they look elsewhere (which is what City do). United could have jumped on the Auba deal for example to offer Dortmund 90M and the player 450k a week. That's desperation even if it is allowed.

I mean, Perisic was offered to you guys at a value which Ed felt was too much, fine. I bet if City wanted to pay the stipulated value Ed would have swooped in to offer something 20M higher with outrageous wages to boot. That is desperation.

So apparently mahrez has not still returned to training with Leicester. They could have taken the 65m city offered rather than being greedy. I don't understand why clubs keep unhappy players?

Eric Dier, Matic we get.

Alexis, Lemar, Pogba, Fred, Lukaku? Hmm.

If City wanted Rose, by now you guys will jump in and make him worth 75M. That is why Pep ignored Southampton on VVD.

LFC and Arsenal competed for Alexis if you recall. Same wage..same valuation to Barca. The player simply preferred AFC but I wager he would not have if LFC offered 600k a week. grin

Everyone knows United wanted Morata for example. Player even dyed his hair red. Perez behaved like a douche in retribution for the De Gea thing I get it. Next you guys jump and make Lukaku 90M. Same player CFC were going to get 15-20M cheaper.

The transfer market is a bazaar, an auction. That's why clubs BID. It does not matter what you tabled, if you can't offer the highest cash you move aside. It's not beef, just business.
I am not arguing this at all. Does not mean the heavy-bidder is not a desperado. Like, get your own scouts or something. They did this with Lemar and from £55M Monaco wanted £92M. Now nobody got him. If United got wind early enough of Mahrez and City, he would have gone to United for £90M that LCFC asked for and people will be here talmbout we hijacked it.

Sanchez agreed terms with City before he increased his wages & they backed out & as for Delph, he is not a DM, he is short & can't debut for Fernandinho as a DM. Even as a left back, he has been found wanting every time infact I rate Zinchenko ahead of Delph, whether as a midfielder or LB
Yes but then the issue was Arsenal unlike Shaktar. As per Delph, tell that to Kante and Makelele or Busquets who everyone thought was too frail for the role. Delph more than held his on in LB considering he was never deployed there prior. Zinchenko has made mistakes too. Even Marcelo (the best LB) in the game gets caught out once in a while. It happens.

Mehn rumour say we dey likely to hijack the Fred deal than City & funny enough I don't see Fernandinho or Matic lasting 2 more years meaning Fred's coming to either of the Manchesters go be fight to finish
You overestimate this hijack this and hijack that a lot.

If City felt they absolutely needed him he would have been purchased already. They even started discussing with him before Laporte and Shaktar agreed with the terms. I am certain they stalled because Delph might be deployed more in that position.

So you guys can go ahead and over pay Fred or overpay for him.

Desperados.
