I like that. Must be nice to have transparency from higher up

He’s finding it harder and harder to force a smile out with each picture
In fairness I’m the same with posed photos.
It's hardly a secret.
Thank you for your service @Fridge chutney
He's not crucial, he's mediocre, those things are very basic that any player can do if instructed, you don't see players as average as him at City, Chelsea and Liverpool, and his breaking forward is worthless because he never does anything with the ball anyway as he's head down most of the time on the counter.
Good. And you're welcome. Now move on to other concerning issues.
Absolutely. The world needs your input.
Reminds me of Jamie Tartt

Looks like Barcelona haven't given up on this yet.
I think they’d already made the signings they wanted before this was made official.
If Barca are so desperate make him a shareholder, director or give him a portion of the ground. That way he plays for free with payments coming to him from a different source. It's a way around La Liga rules.
Simples!

According to that article, Bernardo Silva prefers Barcelona.
Yeah, good luck getting there any time soon.
Ducker seems a bit obsessed in trying to justify City's spending. I'm guessing he's one of the journalists who City butter up?
As the Manchester clubs correspondent for the Telegraph, he's responsible for both City and United. On that note, City will treat him better for more favourable news reports.
Here comes the net spend spin, right on time.

City must have Ducker on the payroll. Never seen a club try to justify their outrageous spending as much as City.
Whooo ! net spend time !
I'm confused, he is suggesting they've raised 110m already through sales?
So Messi not only has Barca by the balls but ,due to his immense standing in the game and the revenue he generates, La Liga too.
Hahahahaha.
Hahahahaha.
Grealish is on £370k a week…?
So City buy every player in the City Group-system with a potential future value for a low fee, loan them out and then sell them for a significant fee? It is so dumb it is almost smart.
Entirely reasonable that they're selling 4 nobodies for £50m. Nothing to see here.
That's 110 million Pounds through sales from 1 July 2020 up to now. 55 million of that is from the Leroy Sané sale to Bayern Munich.
Bayern paid €45m for Sané and not £55m…
Sané was €45m and not £55m though
So where's the rest been generated from?
Yes, and expecting another 50m before any «senior» players are sold.
Just financial wizardry/corruption for the most part I guess

Angelino I think.
Think the RB group did something similar a while back . Got caught though.
The players quoted as reaching 55m
when we can't get lingard sold for 20.such a corrupt clubClearly they parked those dollars in a money market account and made 10 million more letting it sit for a year.
Not really. City cook their books as always under their current owners.
Quick google says he was around 17m
I've been chutneyed and mazhared in one swoop
James Ducker funny enough Rhymes with Lying Fu....
Good question.
So far this transfer window they've generated somewhere between 35-45m on player sales. They also have 11m coming back to them from our Sancho deal, plus a rake of loan fees from their battery farm of kids. Still seems to be a gap in those figures though.
Ducker said previously he was sold for 40 or so at least.
I was just stating what Ducker put into his article. Interestingly, the reputable English journalists reported the fee as up to 55 million Pounds (bonuses included), whilst the German ones reported it as up to 50 million Euros (bonuses included).
They also sold Otamendi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Angeliño, Jack Harrison, and Lukas Nmecha. I'm guessing that figure includes loan fees, too, but Ducker conveniently didn't mention that. Either that, or he seemed to include all of the variable payments into every single outgoing transfer to make that figure look as big as possible. Finally, he could have lied and gotten away with it.
