I think the "same old City" days are gone. Self entitled indeed..
Tone won't get pushed around
"YOU'RE ALL ACTING LIKE KIDS" shrieks someone having a tantrum because they aren't getting their way.
Kudos to daring to visit the City boards though. Place must be full of more plastic than Greta Thunberg's nightmares.

It's all very well them saying that but they rolled over on the Burn fee when he personally asked them to let him go (so said Burn in an interview last season)

Really ? He isn’t / wasn’t that good except a purple patch, if it wasn’t for Dunks injury he’d hardly played - you’d have been disappointed if Brighton paid £15M+ for Dan Burn at the same time

That was a move that suited the player and the club at the time. Nobody foresaw the Dunk suspension/injury and the Webster injury happening very soon afterwards. Burn was a good squad player, we are talking about our player of the season and one who fills a position we were lacking in since we arrived in the PL
There is no comparison imo
It's more akin to Stephens agitating to leave, he even put in a transfer request but TB held firm and Stephens soon got over it
We can't be certain but I don't see TB rolling over on this one
It was good money for the club. When player values are banded about sometimes you have to take stock. 15m is a huge amount of money.
I used to quite like them. Even after Blue Moon's comedy reaction to our 3-2 win I still didn't think too badly of them. But now, reading the shite on that thread from half of the posters, I've gone right off them. Let's hope they never, ever win the Champions League.
Is that the Dan Burn who had one and a half seasons left on his contract?
18 months.
Still good money though, but not quite sure it was the best call from the sports perspective.
At the time I thought we should have pushed for £20M (largely because of the amount they paid for Woods, even though that was a buy out clause), but I quickly came round to the idea of settling for what we got.

I reckon they binned Zinchenko to Arsenal who love to pay over the odds and simply thought they'd nick Cucurella for less than what they sold Zinchenko for! Now that's a bit of a piss take in itself,but then to be somewhat surprised a small club like Brighton turned their derisory offer down is quite funny reading the reaction,I'm actually surprised I've not read "how dare they,do they know who we are".
No doubt their lazy recruitment team will identify another player who had a good season and will sign them up.
They're not getting Cucurella in this window and that's that,so ner, we're not children.

I don't want to be an idiot about this, but legally you aren't allowed to say "...like marmite" without following with the redundant phrase "...you either love it or hate it".
I haven't alerted the authorities this time, but please do better.

City fans are only going to get worse as they age up.
Won't be long before an entire generation of their fans will have only ever known limitless cash, superstars and trophies.
If we think this current lot are insufferable just wait until that lot get to chatting.

I wouldn't pay £30 for this season Home or Away kit. They should have bit your hand off.

Swedish Manchester City fans are just as bad, not met many in reality but online they all seem very punchable. Very entitled, no self-distance and very cocky.

Marc Cucurella *SINGS on a five-year contract*
It’s tough arguing that of any club to choose - you’re utterly convinced it’s Albion that have no “well thought up” plans but i guess you’re gonna keep on trying ha ha !
PS: not sure what article . Link so everyone can see.
Correction: it’s the wearebrighton fellas.
