Nah, it's my bad at the end of the day. I don't really use emoji's so it's easy for people to think I'm being serious and actually throwing abuse at somebody and not just doing it in a light-hearted sort of way. So my apologies to c-goat, and also anyone else I've had a bit of a slagging much with here today. Sometimes I should take a step back and think about what I'm actually typing, and how I type it. I've been saying that for about 10 years or more though, maybe I'll actually put it into practise one day!
Pay them to take him off our hands I say.
As quoted by my wife
Kyle Walker best rb in the world lolWhat's the most City have paid for a player? City have had little to do with 'skyrocketing' transfer fees. We have almost surpassed them on highest fee paid.
And when you figure out which player that is then ask yourself if he is better than Harry. Harry is by no means worth 5x more than Walker. The absolute disrespect for the best world RB of the last decade.
No worries mate. I over reacted. Bit touchy today clearlyNah, it's my bad at the end of the day.

I do remember citeh paying 200 million to fix the back four.
But hey let's just pat them on the back.
The fact they sponsor themselves through dubious companies which they actually own. The fact they are owned by a state which disregards human rights and where women are treated as second class citizens and homosexuality is illegal.
Cities owners are wonderful
Look at the state of this doughnut.
If you've wondered why we're in this daft situation, here's exhibit A.
Absolute fucking lamppost.
Yeah. I can see your point. And we could go around and around with examples, and largely it might end up with examples on either side of the debate. For every Eriksen there is a Son. For every Winks there is a Tommy CarrollI actually agree with a lot of that, I've been complaining about our scouting and a desire for a DOF for years, BUT you asked for examples of a) when we'd retained players (I gave recent you examples.) and b) where is Dembele's replacement (I told you whom that was).
It's all very well discounting the examples given, but there was mass paranoia about our squad being picked apart throughout the entirety of Poch's reign, but it didn't happen..... Why? Largely down to how we'd locked them all down to long term contracts and partly down to the fact that we as a club have a bit more clout than we did when the likely of Carrick, Berba & Bale were sold.
...That's retainment of players.
You make a fair point, use the Kane money to fix the holes in the team. And I'm not against selling a player who wants to go. But I am very against a club with near enough endless amounts of money dictating the price for Kane, which is really the crux of my disagreement (gentle disagreement, mind) with some posters here, your good self included (I think I read you would take an offer of £100m).I asked you "to what end" because it got us 7th this year and presumably another 20 goals this season would only get us similar. And it's exactly because of the reasons you state, we have holes elsewhere in the team. So my calculus is why keep a player when the big money can help us round out the squad? Keeping him only kicks the can down the road to next summer and all we have to look forward to is another 7th place this season, an unhappy star player, and less money to put toward the rebuild.
The proper glory days! As I remember it, we played a proper four four fackin two, Ginola and Anderton wingers and take your pick from the likes of Howells, Nielsen, Freund, Clemence and Sherwood in the centre. Calderwood was a centre back, and a turbo shite pairing from Ferdinand, Armstrong and Iversen up front.Ginola played off Big Les if I recall. To accommodate a midfield of Sinton, Fox, Calderwood and Neilsen. Mabbutt on the bench never came on. Rory Allen did. Dark days.
The pictures aren't level. I'm not sure I could sit in a room and see them all day like that.

My brother actually spoke to him in the corner of a pub a few years back. I expect some on here have met him in pubs after the games. He was known for doing it, particularly if Kane had a good game.
Stephen Clemence. What’s the point ?The proper glory days! As I remember it, we played a proper four four fackin two, Ginola and Anderton wingers and take your pick from the likes of Howells, Nielsen, Freund, Clemence and Sherwood in the centre. Calderwood was a centre back, and a turbo shite pairing from Ferdinand, Armstrong and Iversen up front.
And people think we have it rough now!
Brady has now played for two organizations that surrounded him with talent and structure to win. And Brady did pull some shit a few seasons ago when Belichick wanted rid of him.
"But, Mr Levy you promised...we had a gentlemen's agreement..."So fucken true. I'd love to negotiate a contract with that balloon sitting across the other side of the table.
