He looks frightening. Reminds me of when Drogba came and it was like fuck this guys a beast. There was always going to be hyperbole around him, westham looked fucking terrified  of him. If he stays fit he's going to score an outrageous amount of goals in that City team.

Ugly cunt defo scares kids.

Even I got paid on that deal because I've been to Dortmund a few times. 

Can you imagine what's being paid off payroll? He was touting himself around at 600k per week, there's no way he's accepted 350k to go there. It's just half his wages will be paid elsewhere, off their books and in a more tax efficient manner. 

 

Pretty sure I remember reading that before Chelsea signed Lukaku, they went for Haaland and were quoted 750k a week.

 

Totally agree there's no way he's 'only' on 350k a week at City.

I wonder if his name is actually Michael but he cocked it up when he signed for man city and he's been too embarrassed to correct anyone since.

No one would have said that because City lost week 1 last season. 

1) Did they???

 

2) I still wouldn't be so sure

I think that about loads of people - or at least maybe their parents didn't know how to spell names. It started when you'd see names that were just spelt obviously badly. Then I'm sure dillian white as an example is really dillan, whenever anyone who knew him growing up talks about him in an interview, they all call him dillan. I'm not sure about Ryan Brewster either.

My in-laws adopted two boys when they where 1 year old babies.  Named Logan & Kearan (Ciaran).  If it were me I'd have changed the spelling but they have left it.  Annoys the fuck out of that spelling.

Looks like Silva's off to Barcelona. Deal agreed for around £70 million according to ITK types.

Can't see them not spending to replace him.

How can Barca be signing another player for the guts of £70 million when they can't register the players they've been trying to sign already

Rory Smith,always worth a listen, reckons whilst city are looking ominous,their squad isn't that deep,and a couple of injuries,especially to the full backs,could see them in trouble.

Haarland is a goon who looked irrelevant for most of the game, but still scores two, I guess that might be the same for a large part of the season until they figure out what is the best way to maximise the potential so he scores eighty goals a season.

 

I'm calling it now, we'll finish above City this season.

 

Their squad is paper thin in places, especially in key positions like full back and wide attackers, which are essential the way the bald fraud set his teams up.

 

A couple of injuries in midfield and that starts to look a little lightweight as well, especially if they persevere with Grealish as he's fucking shite and ill suited to them.

 

We, I believe, have the better and deeper squad.

Now, I'm not saying I'm Rory Smith, but if anyone wants an autograph hit me up...

[an tha]

Man City got 93 pts last season.

 

I personally can't see them getting less this season.

 

So to finish above them we'll need a minimum of 94 pts......Not impossible of course, but yet again an extremely difficult ask.

That bulb-headed cyborg with the face of a whining 2-year-old in the sweet aisle at Tesco grafted onto it has hit pay dirt.

 

He'll be on a modest on-the-books wage, but as part of the deal will be signed to an "independent" organisation as an "ambassador" (he agrees to visit there for his luxury holidays and pose for a photograph for £18m pa).  And when I say "independent", I mean of course Abu Dhabi.  And when I say "ambassador" I mean VIP Guest.

[TheHowieLama]

What do you mean by luxury holiday?

[razor]

First class flight in, air conditioned limousine ride to five star gated hotel, presidential suite overnight stay, all-you-can-eat buffet with full English, posed snap with various anonymous sheiks, air-conditioned limousine ride to airport, first class flight home.

 

That kind of luxury?

I don’t think it needs a journalist to tell you this, looking at their squad with your own eyes will tell you the same. 

 

Also, Haaland’s injury record has never been great. Think Thiago. Given he’ll play more, more intense games this season, I’d be surprised if it improves.

 

I’m surprised at which supposedly highly rated youngsters they’ve let leave. They could easily say “We’ve won 4/5 titles, we’re going to blood some youngsters” but they’ve let a number of those players leave as well.
