I am willing to bet that 99% of them only became City fans when they were taken over by an Arab state too

Probably the Argus article where Potter says Mac is a "bit of a dream" I imagine. I suggest we don't give GP any credit at all for this

I had a quick look and there is one thread complaining about how the media are so anti-City because they report more on Liverpool and Man U - 2,000 posts in a month! It's so unfair!!!

Marc Cucurella *SINGS on a five-year contract*
Also this (Hardly a surprise if Potter surprises us so to speak with his tactical reinventions for players. That’s what he does and what he’s praised for and that’s what gets you 9th in the table). It’s his job to develop the squad.

City's negotiating tactics stink.
Put in a rediculously low offer for a player. Ask the player to agitate for a move and hope the selling club will be bullied into a forced sale at a low price.
Didnt work last year when Levy said it was £150m for Kane, or no deal.
Won't work this year with Bloom and Barber if City won't offer at least £50m for Cucerella. Only difference is this year Cucerella isn't throwing his toys out of a pram like Kane did last year.
Everyone other than Newcastle and City fans know City's owners are a bunch of cheats who flout FFP rules by employing the best lawyers money can buy. City's owners even refuse to answer reasonable questions when UEFA and PL investigations are carried out. Money can buy City a team of top players that play attractive football, but it can't buy them love.

Hilarious the amount of city fans getting excited because he didn’t play today.
Haven’t actually looked at the fact none of the players from Saturday that started played today but let them get on with it

You can also add in that they've sold Zinchenko for £32m. Their primary LB back up for Cancelo (who is an RB anyway), so they've created a vacancy in the squad. We know they need to buy someone and we know that they want to buy Cucurella because he's brilliant. But he's ours. On a 4 year contract. We have all the cards in hand, he'll be sold for £50m+ for sure - but he's not going for less than we want to receive.

Although sports bible update today suggests deal is virtually done so expect an announcement soon?
I wouldn't take that as gospel.

They don't even pretend to have sources. They are JUST clickbait and photoshop merchants. They're entertaining, but with even less knowledge than others. They probably don't even follow Fabrizio or [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] to have any sources of info at all - they just throw a load of shit at the wall and see what people will click on for advert revenue.
Honestly not sure if you're trolling in this thread or not

Not seen such Bravery!
Cool. £50million+ is a great price to finally get.
Oh no! What happened that made it go from the done deal it's been repeatedly reported as for the past month to 'virtually done'?

Not trolling mate I'll be gutted to see him leave even though its likely. I wish like everyone else we hang onto him irrespective of whether we get 50 60 70 million.
I'm pretty sure ObR stated he was being sarcastic in an earlier post. Nobody is a true believer in the Sports Bible, are they?
Their stuff on Jesus to Arsenal was predictably accurate, which is testament to the fact that they're not all bad. But they certainly don't have a divine right to get quoted every time they make up any old nonsense.

Not on Sky or in The Athletic, you may well be right - but source?
