    Ignore BBC, believe GFFN. We need a twitter blacklist - or posters to simply use common sense.

    Or maybe posters should use their fecking heads.

    GFFN don't post news, they will translate and repost from papers. It clearly says which paper reported it.

    Oh bytw I ignore English papers when it comes to transfers. They print what club briefs them, City won't brief that Alves rejected them.

    Edit: Also how City briefed media that they paid 43 Million pounds for Silva when reliable French journalists and papers reported 60-70 Million Euros.

    Do you honestly believe city offered alves €350k a week and that he turned it down?

    I don't believe that just I don't believe City crying about wages PSG offered. English media knows **** all. City played the PR game and now it's PSG's turn. Or it's English media vs French.

    I think some of the lads here may need a private room. It goes from discussing transfers of yester-season to aggressive flirting. I know its a slow window but.

    To add to my previous post, it's a free transfer so there is a good chance player will get big signing on fee which will paid added with wages.

    I dont see city crying about wages? I think he got offered more money or at least equal money at PSG and chose them as his wife is from there, its a handier number for him and an easier life. I have no problem with tha. I think city are miffed that it was a last min change of events more than anything as i reckon they believed him in the bag. Thats my opinion though.

    PSG are an extremely wealthy club and so are City. Is it really a big deal that he chose one over the other? He is getting huge money either way.

    No one has a clue what went behind the scenes, just because they won double doesn't mean he should stay at Juventus.

    He went from Barca to Juventus, so joining PSG from Juventus isn't a big deal.

    Maybe he feels that in the coming season PSG have more chance of winning that City do. In fairness when City played that team that beat PSG in a 2 horse race, they came second too.

    Yea, I was being a bit flippant tbf. I'm not saying it's a bad move, just that I doubt the opportunity to win things was the main draw of PSG over City/Juve. Paris is a great city and the money is obviously good at PSG. It makes sense for those reasons

    Ah yeah I was only taking the piss anyway.

    Also, absolutely no way did...

    a) City offer Alves 346k p/w
    b) Alves turn down 346k p/w

    Whooping story./

    You make it sound like Ligue 1 is the same as going to China or America for a top footballer. The league itself may not be ultra competitive, but there's two top teams and they are decent normally in Europe.
    Plus Marseille are putting together a nice team

    Not sure how it went over your head, but the post you were having a good laugh at was insinuating he was an edjit for saying he wanted to win things and that's why he didn't go to City. I was making the point that maybe he's not an edjit for thinking that at all.

    Bonucci's agent says they are working on a move. I imagine to Man City, Chelsea or Barca.

    Bakayoko to Chelsea is very good business imo.

    I read a few weeks back a rumour that Mbappe and his advisors were told by Monaco that Bakayoko would be the last first team player to be sold. Assuming that's not bullsh*t, that means Fabinho and Mendy will be staying put for another season. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

    But I don't think his post was about Man City at all. He was joking at the fact Alves left Juve for PSG in order to be a champion. The same Juve who have won the last six scudettos and are a lot closer to being European champions than PSG.

    I'm hoping it opens up the door for Matic to move to Utd

    Yea that's exactly what I meant. There's numerous justifiable reasons why anyone would move from Juve to PSG, but trophies aren't one of them

    He won't leave! :D

    In other news everyone is being briefed by Liverpool that Keita is not for sale at any price and that the only option is for him to force the issue and put in a transfer request. So presumably that is what the club are now expecting to happen.

    have ye given him a new contract or what? I thought he was meant to be a free agent but ye never released him.
