Did you add 'right now'? Even so I agree to an extent. He is another level to those two you mentioned though. I think he is good enough right now.
Fuck, Roma bringing out the kindergarten kids in their media team
Are you happy with him & your signings so far? Also whilst I've got you, do you rate jorginho & would he be a good fit at city?
Monchi is a genius.
Jorginho wouldn't get in the City starting line up. Though would probably walk into every other team in the league.
Maybe why city have set a limit on how much they will pay for him. I read Woolwich are trying to steal Pellegrini from you!
Better than any transfer ... interesting comment that Kane's wages include up to 50% in bonuses ... so a basic 200k could earn him 300k ... that confirms why our wages budget is so much higher than all the contract salaries added together .. it's the 50% bonuses ... also means that if don't play, you don't earn the big bucks, that seems fair enough and bloody shrewd management ....
Getting kane signed up for 6 years is better than any new player we could get this summer.
From savic to shaqiri & then grealish & now kane... its a rollercoaster of emotions. With the maximum high of kane, there is only one way to go next, the low of......
Sources tell me that before signing, Harry said "those Grealish rumors are bullshit right?"

Probably why Toby kicked up a fuss even despite the club reportedly reaching a reasonable compromise on the pay. And makes the numbers of the reported showdown make sense. Club offered £130k pw with bonuses raising that to £180k pw potentially. Toby sees his replacement in Sanchez coming hard and fast and shows up to the contract signing demanding that bonus figure be converted into base salary because he knows he’s likely to see less playing time as the deal goes on.
Absolutely agree that pay-for-play is the way to go. But it does make sense of some things.
I know. Selling Coutinho was great for them (as I said all along). It freed up money to spend, and they are being quite generous with their wages as well.
I am not saying "WTF! We should buy those players!! FFS LEVY Pay up! #ENIC out!"!! I am saying I find it strange that they seem to get these players with little competition from richer clubs.
Arse and United desperately need central defenders, City could need one as well, yet it seemed noone else was in for VD. Keita and Fekir would probably be great upgrades for at least Arse and United, possibly also Chelsea, but none of them were linked to the players that I have seen.
With Fekir costing only 50, we could've, perhaps should've, at least been in the mix. Keita and VD, though, were not in our price range.
What a start to the weekend (long one here). Brilliant developments.
Woolwich are in fucking shambles as are the chavs. People don’t realize how stretched United are with their wages and exapnses
It's fucking appalling that all contracts in football aren't somewhat performance based , Alexis Sanchez and the like are on Versace wages putting in Primark performance it's obscene.
