I was surprised that Coman decided to stay. But yeah, Bayern getting players from La Liga in their prime is a shocker. Usually it's the other way around. (**** you, Toni Kroos.)
Costa moving to Juve.
Chelsea tried to buy Aubameyang for an obscene sum.
Dani Alves shoves a broomstick up Pep's a$$ at the last minute because his woman wanted to live in Paris instead of MCR.
Whatever...I wasn't happy about it anyway...relying on a 34 year old RB isn't exactly what MCFC needs right now. I'd rather them roll the dice with home grown Angelino.
Alexis and Arse can go suck a dick too...overrated POS.

That guy is a freaking star.

Looks like they have the hots for Walker. Daniel Levy will bend them over for an outrageous sum, if they want Walker.
Alves making $260k a week! A WEEK!!! I'm glad City told him to **** off. At least Walker's best years are ahead of him and he currently only makes about $100k a week.
Levy wanted ÂĢ50m...likely to balloon to ÂĢ60m now...but that's the dice you roll.
Talk they might throw Nacho into the deal. I would really, really like that.
Nah...ÂĢ45m plus a bunch of incentives, so effectively 50m.
They are lucky it didn't balloon to 60m...although Levy isn't dumb...no way he was going to outfox himself on this deal and get greedy.
Nacho looking like he will go to Leicester...they wanted a buy-back clause, but looking like in lieu of that LCFC will pay 25m instead of 20m.
Hate to see him go...they never really gave him a shot. He is the best finisher on that squad.
50 million pounds for a fullback? The market has lost its damn mind.
I think both Jesus and Aguero are better finishers, but Nacho is really good.
Nacho is calm...I think I've only seen him miss once in a 1 on 1 situation. Jesus and Aguero have both flubbed their share. Jesus is more explosive, but the kid needs to learn how to play under control...he has one speed.

$10 million for a left tackle?! The NFL has lost its mind!
Salaries will all rise eventually in all sports. If Walker is serviceable it will be money well spent. City is in dire need of English players also. This checks two big boxes.
English players are overrated.

LT is a prime position. Fullback is not.
When you're Pep Guardiola and rely on them to have pace and build up from the back, it is pretty damn importantÃĐ.
Soccer transfers such an odd duck compared to NFL, MLB, NBA.
Soccer managers will openly talk about interest in players, comment on them, suck up to them in the press to try and woo them. Some will even give specifics like "we are still working on the contract, so it will be a couple of days."
And my City rant of the day...MF's are now going to sign Danilo after paying a record fee for Kyle Walker. Now we have two world class RB, no LB, and no credible backup for Kompany.
Oh, and the Alexis stroke-fest continues...
Patience, grasshopper. Citeh ain't close to done. Try being a Spurs fan. They haven't signed a single player. Not one. They are the Ted Thompson of the English Premier League.
Apparently, Ben Mendy is the next City target. That should please you, Foo.
And Mendy is off to City.

Yeah, United schooling the entire left side the other night hastened that one. It's an absolute $hit show trying to dump all the Pelleweeni dead wood. Sadly we dumped a couple of promising young guys along the way...Mooy and likely Ihenacheo.
Cest la vie though...glad we dumped Hart...but it won't stop all the JH loyalists from whining all season long at every mistake a City keeper makes.
Like every time AR threw an incompletion his first year as a starter all the Bertwashers railed with joy.
Two great FB with pace now...Stones has zero excuse for playing out of position. We will see what he's made of now...
Saw a stat yesterday that Pep has spent 1.6 billion on players during his career and 160 million of those were on goalkeepers. Ouch!
I think we overspent on Stones. Dude has done little to impress me so far. I always point out to City whiners that you could have GIgi Buffon in his prime as GK but if your defense is $hit it won't matter. But they continue to hammer whatever keeper is in there because it's not Joe Hart.
180M for MbappÃĐ?! From Real? Nutso!

Stones? Wow, just realized today. City fields the 3 most expensive defenders in the world.

The world has gone mad.

Not sure I'm buying that 180M City bid...they have already spent 200M on defenders and a keeper. They need a striker, but 180M for an 18 year old? Let Real try to dump Bale in a fire sale and let them make the mistake.
Kyle Walker...worth every effing penny! My God, the ball he ran down last night was ridiculous. Can't wait for Mendy to get fit. No longer a weakness at FB. 35 seconds into the clip...
No one faster than Walker in the Premiership, that's for sure. Really improved as a defender too, and he is a one man fast break.
City doing whatever they want in this game. Should be 3 nil up.
Man, Lloris keeping us in this.
Looks like Kompany needs to foul to keep up.
Apparently, the Neymar to PSG deal is being finalized.
Well, if Kyle Walker is worth $68 million Neymar is definitely worth $260 million. That just the new economics of the game.
So Kyle Walker is the Deep Chicago of soccer?
He's a tad faster with a whole lot less derp.
Spurs pick up Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez...great player...great pace.
Other than a few highlights, I've never seen him play. Does look very fast though.
