Pre Match Pre Match - Man City (H) - Sun 16:00

I wouldn’t give he MOTM due to that error and he should’ve scored at least one.

That's why I have him top 3 but not MOTM

Major props to Gomez who "slots" in and performs like he's been playing regularly.

He was excellent today. Hardly put a foot wrong.

I’d have him as my number 1, then Gravy and Trent in 3rd.

 

[tombrown]

Let's not start sucking dicks yet. Still 10 minutes plus added to go

Couldn't answer this at the time as my mouth was full

 

[binomial]

Which means he’s not desperate to stay. If he was he would take what is on the table.

& what is on the table exactly?

He's not going to be disrespected by some no name mug trying to lowball him, otherwise he's going to question just how much he's wanted isn't he?

Desperate to stay means he would do anything to stay.

What does he want on his end? 5 years on a million a week? His agent could be asking for something utterly ludicrous.

Some in the media have said that the sticking-point is the length of the deal and that we've offered 2 years but he wants 3. I can well believe he wants to stay but, if the media are right and if he were genuinely "desperate" to stay, he'd take the 2 years at his age, sacking the agent if need be.

FSG better open up their wallets this January and I'm not talking about renewing contracts

Or we could be chancing our luck and not offered anywhere he feels he is worth. We all been here, pay rise at work and HR comes backs and says your base is market worth according to their own analysis. Then you hand in notice and come back with an offer that's more than what we asked.

 

[dogboy]

What was the dog shagger meaning by holding up 6 fingers towards the shitty fans

It's his personal record of 6 up a dog's hole.

 

[rubans]

I didn't mind the 6 fingers thing one bit. If fans give it out then have to take it. Good banter.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s along these lines. We will offer 2 plus 1 optional whereas they are after 4.

Apologies if already posted:

He would still be out top earner. If that’s not enough then I’d like to see who would offer him enough to move.

I actually appreciate the fact that Pep decided to acknowledge our CL trophy haul mid game.

 

[Squiggles]

One and five is also the retrospective league positions.

I think would be naive of us to think no one else would pay more. It's a dangerous game and I bet big clubs would offer big money for Mo and Virgil.

No doubt some would offer him big money but how much more than what we would be offering and I think the club know that. There’s no money in Italy or France. Same for Germany. That leaves Madrid/Barca and Saudi.

 

[Judge Jules]

He'd also be leaving a system of play which has been tailored to suit him over a number of years, at a time when it looks poised to be winning big. No guarantees of that in Spain, especially given his age.

 

[Stevesquash]

Hahahah Sander Westerveld is on Dutch tv wearing a jumper saying 'its beginning to look a Slot like christmas'

I want one. Did a search. Found a "it's beginning to look a lot like slotmas one.

I mean, talk about missing an open goal...

Michael Owen, telling the world how a player who wants to leave a club will behave. 🤣

Prick

 

[Shay_K]

Their struggling for goals were shitting goals it’ll be tuff but I can see 3 points for us.

Both Gravenberch and Mac are on 4 x yellow cards now. Hard to see them surviving this and then the biseasonal kicking match with our neighbours.

I’d drop both of them for Newcastle with the option to bring them on to reduce the chances of a silly yellow.

Long as one misses one and the other misses the next. Jones and endo can cover ably

 

[Fabio]

Never in doubt!

I had to manually search for your posts in the thread to make sure I didn't miss giving this a like

 

[MomoWASright]

Having 3 league games before the league cup game sucks balls.

Nah i think we still as close to full strength as possible for a trip to St James’. Ideally we are in control enough that we can avoid yellows.

Would a suspension carry over into that?
