FoxonMaui Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 The one thing that totally get my craw in this this whole ugly episode is Guardiola crying fecking poverty of funds to pay big transfer fees!! I have lost all respect for this guy after hearing him moaning about Man City not having the money to compete or 80 million to buy a player. You’ve just spunked out in excess of 250 million since you came to Man City to buy the premier League crown.This guy may be a good coach but he’s clearly also a delusional egomaniac as well!! Sane gets injured ( it happens Pep, that’s football, but no, your first thought is too buy yourself out of the problem) and suddenly he’s crying like a baby. I hope our owners treat his antics with the contempt it deserves. I think Vichai has the balls to say flat NO and fight back against these kind of tactics. If we give in and sell Mahrez now it sends a horribly wrong signal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City are only where they are due to oil money and don't fill their stadium half the time they play. Yes they will win the league and he will be joining a more powerful club but they are not on the level of the biggest clubs on the planet. All the money in the world won't make it the dream move he was looking for... Bit better than Roma though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest updates 07:49 GMT Manchester City's late, late move for Riyad Mahrez came out of the blue yesterday, but led to the Manchester City midfielder handing in a transfer request - his second in six months - to try and force a move away from Leicester City. However, the former Premier League champions are refusing to be bullied into selling the Egyptian, and have turned down THREE offers for Mahrez with the latest registering at £55m. Some youn sprog, was asked to do a quick report, so the paper was not seen to be missing out on the story......Brilliant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I say stop dreaming about 80s and 100sM So shouldn't you be spouting you're shite on their forum? I can see it now. The owners sat round a table and saying "We'll, the man city fans are saying save the money. We don't really want him" to which vichai is definitely going to respond "Ok sell him for 5 mill" Idiot.

AjcW Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 Oh for ****s sake!! Can we put a note at the top of every thread page that says Man City were interested in another attacking player before Sane got injured and it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SO WITH THAT!! Also Pep was saying he couldn’t afford Alexis as well as Laporte (who he needed) so instead he’s getting Laporte and someone else (probably Riyad) Does my nut in, some of the people on here take as much care in crafting their opinions as daily mail journalists!

If you don’t understand the meaning then I’d guess You probably have a second and third team. Any lifelong fan of any single football team, regardless of status would know exactly what was meant. Have you not ever been asked the question ‘whose your team?’ if so,I’m guessing the dreary droning answer was ‘ well I don’t actually own any team and I do not currently sit on any board of any team. I have no financial investments in any team nor do I intend to. When I was 8 I was once picked for a netball team but I was not made captain so I therefore never considered it to be my team. I once lead a team in orienteering, but endured a mutiny after getting lost. I was often picked last when playing with my friends so never really felt like I belong to a team never mind owning one. The A team is the only one I own. On DVD.” sarcasm is easy 4 Evidently not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the amountsof money are mental but objectively, if a bigger company headhunts you and offers you a huge pay rise and also the chance to play with better players, possibly win the league and Champions League and also work with one of the greatest managers of all time why is it so completely unreasonable to compare to the real world situation? Just because he gets paid more than any of us could ever imagine it doesn't mean he doesn't want more?

RowlattsFox Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 I have no problem with him leaving to an elite club, and whatever you think of them, Man City are. I’d wish him all the best. Problem here is the timing. We can’t replace him so it needs to be a huge bid. Quite surreal thinking £50m is nothing but that’s where we are. Also so wish he would conduct himself professionally with all this transfer request shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is headhunted then sometimes the company may have to pay compensation. I know it is not exactly the same, I just think it's the closest we can get to understanding it. Us normal folk. I think my post has been misunderstood. I was not saying they are exactly the same I was just reacting to someone who used the word "ridiculous" regarding the comparison. Either way, I hate myself and this forum a little more every day. X Edited 31 January 2018 by RumbleFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I was head hunted the process is very different. Such as there wouldn't be a multi million pound transfer fee. It's not comparable to swapping jobs in the real world. But to continue the anology I wouldn't be offered a job at the fancy sandwich shop because they're first choice sandwich maker was off sick for a few weeks. I certainly wouldn't move to watch him make sandwiches when he came back whilst not being able to make the sandwiches which I apparently so love making. I'd stay at greggs.
