Why? We won't spend the money he requires, he will moan and bitch all transfer window then leave in a year. Conte is as predictable as a Jose hire.I want Conte.
Levy's definitely keeping that Pardiola wildcard in his back pocket for in case he ever finds himself single again, he'll need a wingman.I won’t lie. My £10 on Alan Pardew @ 100/1 being wasted is upsetting me. Can’t even cash out for 6p
Just had it confirmed to me that it is all agreed and will be signed and announced after the weekend. #circles
my sentimental side loves the idea. My head says Levy should have backed him instead of wasting money on Jose and Poch isn’t strong enough with the current management.
Anyway it’s done so let’s move on and look forward to next season.

I haven’t been here for ages. But my brother works for the Guardian and the sports team have briefed told that Poch is done and to announce it before the 2nd June. I don’t know why the date is important.
He told me this about 8:00 this evening.
Good luck. Hopefully you'll be given time to settle in.I did. I start Monday
It’s the rolling around for me. Just makes him unlikeable (and, yes, I do have the same problem with Reggie - and most of the City team...in fact, modern football can be a hard watch sometimes).I think he's a brilliant footballer, that for whatever reason some people choose to want to hate, actually go out of their way to post how shit they think he is just as they've just seen him take on 3 players and curl a ball 1 inch wide of the post from 25yrds out and say "I told you he's shit".
That exact scenario played out in the match thread to the CL semi only a couple of weeks ago.
But we live in strange times, where players are "supported" and "hated" in equal measure, where if you praise player 'A' it must mean you hate player 'B' and if you're a person who likes both A & B, "fans" of either will unite in their disdain for the person that thinks both players are bloody great.
He's not as dominant as Messi or as Ronaldo was, who both of these players would often be the best player on the park almost every game they played (Messi more so) but I think Messi has broken a glass ceiling in consistenly being brilliant that any great player not matching that consistency gets called out for being overrated as they don't affect the game for 3 games or whatever.
He also sold out and went to a soul-less PSG. Claimed it wasn’t for the money when it clearly was. Generally comes across as dislikable from the bits I’ve seen.I despise many things about Neymar. His antics on and off the field mainly.
But he is undoubtedly a great player, a true once in a generation talent. He’s just unlucky he’s playing in the same era as Lionel Messi and to a lesser extent Cristiano.
Without these two he would be the undisputed best in the world IMO.
NDombele and Gio are masters of the Rolling Around, too. And they seem to have been coaching Son in the dark art. Wish they wouldn't do it. We should be above thoseIt’s the rolling around for me. Just makes him unlikeable (and, yes, I do have the same problem with Reggie - and most of the City team...in fact, modern football can be a hard watch sometimes).
EDIT: unless the players are winding up Woolwich etc, in which case it’s fine
EDITEDIT: Apart from Neymar.
God that is disturbing!
Good point, because running a Premier league team on a budget 50% lower than the main contenders is simple, isn't it? Which is why we replaced him with Jose, the serial winner.Well we can miss goodbye to any hope we had of winning, the FA Cup, the league Cup or Europa league as Poch has made it clear in the past that he can't be arsed with being competetive in them.
He's re-hiring a manager who consistently got him top 4 on a shoe string budget, so no he hasn't changed.Or maybe Denial Levy has finally changed?
This would mean danial made a mistake.
I see what you did there!Or maybe Denial Levy has finally changed?
Maybe 'cos they wanna announce Kane staying first???Not a pop at you or your brother but if it's a done deal why not just announce it now?
What's to be gained by waiting?
FIXED!2nd June is the second anniversary of the European Cup Final Open Top Bus Parade in Liverpool, and subsequent media wankfest!
....but at least we know Inter need to sell players!Why? We won't spend the money he requires, he will moan and bitch all transfer window then leave in a year. Conte is as predictable as a Jose hire.
