Saka's great but comparison irrelevant. Foden's stats are good with G14 A10 in all comps. Not bad that :) It's been his best season by far. He's played more minutes all comps than any other player, has finally won Pep's trust to play centrally and he's been brilliant. If a player of the...

I'm not arguing he should have been ahead of Messi but you are seriously underplaying his contribution last season. Haaland's record in the bigger PL games was excellent. Against the top 10 teams below City in the final table: G+A 2+2 Arsenal 3+2 United 1+1 Newcastle 0+0 Liverpool (1 league...

Yes 1783 minutes for 19/20 so 20/21 was really his "adult" breakout season. Another factor is he played another 650ish minutes or so in project restart so for a 12 month period his workload was heavy. I've no problem with his lighter minutes in earlier seasons simply based on his consistently...

Without comparing him to past players one thing he has achieved playing in a front 3 is he is ahead of Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus, Torres and Grealish in terms of automatic starter for the big games for City. That is some endorsement.. It won't be long before that applies to 8 as well.

3906 minutes last season including England. 42 starts and 16 as sub. Most minutes of any outfield City player in the Champions League and now automatic starter for City's biggest games. Seeing him in the flesh last month at the Etihad for the first time since pre-Covid it was very noticable...

Ha .... You've used the discredited Nick Harris figure for the Grealish wage. He used the Telegraph as his "source" only for James Ducker of the Telegraph to tell him on twitter he was out of order... quoted elsewere he is on £210k with achievable bonuses taking him to £250k..... then if he wins...

As for your 1st point, this applies to some and not all. In any case, they are charged back to City and included for P&L in the accounts. As for your 2nd point, God knows how much United players or, indeed, other PL players have been paid off the books into offshore accounts as well.. but it...

On the same theme , the squad he inherited in 16/17 included 15 players aged 29+. All had minutes albeit Hart and Nasri had just the 1 game. The rebuild has seen a huge difference in age profile with only 6 players aged 29+ - Dinho, Aguero, Walker, Gundogan, Mahrez and KDB. The bid defence...

Amortisation and Wages totals for City, United and Chelsea. Figures from SwissRamble and are in millions i.e City wages for y/e 2019 were £315mil. Table doesn't take into account cumulative profit booked to P&L for transfers - United £67mil, City £147mil and Chelsea £332mil. City have spent...

I think all the Lisbon games are at 20.00 because of the heat.

The "charges" were based on accounts periods 2011/2012 to 2015/16. 2011/2012 to 2012/2013 were both time-barred and also subject to the 2014 settlement agreement which City argued couldn't be re-opened. (We know this from the CAS1 summation published a few months back). Remember the bulk of...

Well, the response to that from CAS was: G. The Alleged Leaks and the Potential Impact Thereof on the Impartiality of the Members of the Investigatory Chamber 113. The alleged leaking of information by members of the Investigatory Chamber or the UEFA administration about the proceedings...

Pure conjecture that City account credentials weren't revoked.The inference from the articles is that they were using a remaining City scout's log-ins.

If they go the distance in the CL, the 2 Friday evening games are perfectly scheduled before the 1st legs of the QF and SF.

It has to be 2011/2012 and the Aguero 93.20. With 9 games to go United had 70 points and City 69. City then drew 2 (Stoke away, Sunderland home) and lost 1 (Arsenal away) to fall 8 points behind with 6 games to go. United then lost at Wigan, stuffed Villa at home, drew at home to Everton in...
