Kai!

On paper, city has more quality.

If OAU defeats Oxford in a math competition, would you commend Oxford for losing when they should be the natural winner?

Does that take away the fact that OAU is the best in such competition?

Players out of Xavi's plans for next season:

- Neto
- Dani Alves
- Sergiño Dest
- Oscar Mingueza
- Samuel Umtiti
- Clement Lenglet
- Nico
- Riqui Puig
- Martin Braithwaite
- Luuk de Jong

Thierry Henry: "All European clubs fear Real Madrid and Real Madrid fears Barcelona."

I think this explains the extraordinary obsession Madridiots have for us here. The immense fear degenerated to low self esteem. Always seeking to compare their achievements with ours and rub it in our faces.

jpmoriarti:
Rudiger (and his agent) will reportedly receive a €35M signing bonus from Real Madrid! Wow.

Baba wan cash out as this would be his last big contract. Reason Barça backed out.

I think Dembele is also angling for this kind of transfer where they would receive a huge signing on bonus. Lots of players are now favouring to run down their contracts and therefore receive a huge cashout with their new Club.

Kilishihunter:

Coutinho out
Griezmann out
Dembele (Loading)
Luuk de Jong (Back to sender Sevilla)
Neto's def going
Braithwaithe (If he wants to play at the WC he'll move)
Nico/Puig Possibly loan moves or Nico might go if pep's still interested
Lenglet/Umtiti (Might still be here next season unless vayolence taketh it by force
Dest Depends on clubs interested
Alves Should be renewed but play a tiny part next season

Don Alemany get work aswear

If OAU beats Oxford then they were better than Oxford. That is your argument not mine. Otherwise tell me why Oxford was better to begin with. You have no proof that City had more quality than Chelsea except, you want to bring in the league which will then make my argument for me.

I knew you would try to say this which is why I sent you 2 screenshots. 1 showing that Grealish's release clause was contractually 100M and then another post showing you City are making that payment in installments.

There is absolutely no rule anywhere that states release clauses must be paid in one fell swoop. It was Dortmund that included that clause into Haaland's contract. Haaland knew he was not going to be in Dortmund for long - they were a stepping stone - and he did not want them to frustrate him like Levy did City last season so him and Mino smartly added a cheap release clause- 51M pounds.

Kilishihunter:

Release clauses are fixed so how are you paying more then?

andrewbaba44:


If pep catch Nico Una go begin jealous

Una don forget how that guy take good before pedri come back and him game time limited

hopefulLandlord:


they're paid once. Real Madrid paid atletico a total sum that's more than Theo's release clause to avoid paying everything at once

Kilishihunter:

Normal level, Pep would upgrade him but remember most thought he'll be a busquets replacement before we found out he's a more of a CM like de Jong, Next season Kessie dey come, Pablo Torre, Collado et al added to the ones on ground, The competition for places will be tight so either a loan or sale will be good for him likewise Puig who needs to save his career

jpmoriarti:
Playing with four attackers today?

Only two midfielders.

hopefulLandlord:


Real Madrid paid Atletico Madrid an amount more than Theo's release clause for a reason. check if you doubt this. your screenshot simply (if true) means City didn't buy out Grealish contract but agreed to pay the same amount in installments. btw 33x3 is 99 not 100

andrewbaba44:


Who go give collado game time ?

Kilishihunter:

How old was theo then and his fee? I don't how you guys at madrid do your biz, But we all saw how Psg paid €222 for Neymar, Nothing more, nothing less except for other variables and Contract clauses, Barça paid €120m for griezmann, Oloriburuku bartomeu went to even borrow from the bank to add to the cash Barca had at hand to deposit it in La liga offices since tico weren't fully open to the move, I never argued with you that they're not paid once since it's common knowledge except the terms of payment are worked out by both parties

hopefulLandlord:


I didn't say you pay more in the sense you're interpreting it bro. I meant paying for something in full at once is actually more expensive than paying in installments as you're actually paying other installments with inflated monies

andrewbaba44:


Who go give collado game time?

Descottes:
Puig should go to his village people and seek for forgiveness cuz this is not normal

Collado as an advanced midfielder wouldn't be a bad idea for this team.

andrewbaba44:


He just scored for Granada

Bimmarlykay:
Where was Pep when Liverpool made back to back finals,then he managed to reach there and still bottled it to restructuring Chelsea, if Ramos breaks De bruyne's hand like he did to Salah.. City will lose to Madrid..not to forget they hard Ronaldo,if am not mistaken this same Liverpool humiliated City in the champions league... so what are we even saying...i love Pep and City so i will wait again till nxt Champions league before i judge cus am tired of excuses for Pep's UCL exits.
