Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

As ever, the question that needs answering is why would anyone build a new stadium when the current one is filled every game (more or less)? Where does their return on capital invested come from?

Re: ✍️ Welcome Lucas Paquetá - Our Brazilian Magnifico

If/when he signs for City, they will of course get the player we saw when he arrived here. The player who fought back when dispossessed and more often than not regained the ball instead of pouting and waving his arms around. The player who picked a telling pass instead of showing off with beach tric...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

A thought is forming at the back of my mind. Paqueta. I believe his release clause is valid during June only, if I'm wrong file this under the usual drivel I post. What's to stop City not excercising his release clause and instead waiting until July and offering say £60M for a player who is in his m...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

In the top half of the table there are only two teams on a negative goal difference, Manchester United on minus one and us on minus six. All the rest are positive.

Get the defence sorted.

If Paqueta never plays for us again I really don't care. He should be off for that kick.

He jumped with one of ours to head the ball, fell awkwardly and all the players immediately called on the medics.

City have other options in their squad, they can afford to drop him if he dicks about. We can't.
