No, it's like owning a leasehold house, but unlike leasehold house there are likely to be restrictions on the club's ability to sell and/or for the land to be used for anything else.

Fair play to Burnely for buying him, improving him and then selling him for a loss. Bought for £15m, sold for £17m with City getting 20%.

I like it, though the dress pants don’t suit the photoshoot. Fuck the long sleeves not being 1 piece.

It would be fine without the noon patch.

Either he meant €30m or hes full of bullshit.

Look forward to seeing him back in the squad.

Lovely kit.

Like that.

Disco lights 🕺

This fella one of Fab’s mates? *The journo, not Trafford.

£17m when they want £40m?! I smell bull shit!

Right now Elanga is a better player with a better mindset. Madueke is probably a more talented player.

He's not going for €20mil

That navy and orange pops beautifully, like. Might pop myself if it's orange numbers. Bit of a joke the long sleevers can't be a single garment, mind.

I think we will change system if we get Pedro. But we still need midfield cover. If Isak and a midfielder is unavailable- we need to be able to play a competent 433.

It’s weird

If we dont change system and use Pedro (if he signs), midfield will be knackered by new year.

I will celebrate the club sacking Noon off like a new signing.

Crazy in da coconut!

that'll look great on the pitch. unsure on the collar, but very smart overall.

Aye Madueke looks technically solid but output and attitude isn’t there. Opposite with Elanga. About the same level overall - good PL winger with potential

Just because i prefer a different type of player to Elanga, one that offers a bit more in general play and a bit of guile/higher technical ability. It doesn’t mean prime David Silva with Gordon’s pace. I’ve said it before, he’s not shite, and I think he’d do well here, but it doesn’t change the fact that I think I’d prefer something else that improves a lot of our other weaknesses. Howe will definitely improve him and so will better players around him. I think improving our control of games and ball retention would mean less chasing when defending at times, as well as conserving a lot of energy over a busy long season with tons of games. Yes there are other positions where we can improve this as well, I just think when you look at what we already have in our wide areas it wouldn’t hurt having something slightly different. I also don’t see too many other areas where we can improve technically without replacing one of our better players. Obviously GK and Botman coming back helps. Im also thinking that a player with a bit more in general play and guile could drag the opposition out of shape more (when not in transitions) which I think would help Tino to perform at his best as well as giving a bit more space centrally for Isak at times. Ive also said that IF we get someone like Pedro between Isak and say Tonali and Bruno then I’d be much more open to signing someone like Elanga who’s absolute strongest attribute is his pace and crossing to a degree. Because then we’d automatically get more space for our wide players to exploit as well as a bit more creativity and variety in our play by being more dangerous from central areas more often. That would make a massive difference to someone like Elanga I think, as well as Gordon. I’ve said all the above a few times over. Seems to be a lot of fuss from some people in here as soon as we prefer a different type of player that EH seemingly wants. Once again, I think he’d do well here, but I just don’t think he’s the player to throw 60m on. I will back him and I’m also sure that if he signs I will be getting tons of undeserved flak as soon as he does some things well Despite not thinking he’s shite or anything of the sort. Pedro in and I think he would be a good signing even if not my ideal choice. I’ve followed him since his youth and he definitely has his strengths but also quite big weaknesses. Yea like many other players. I just think that his weaknesses won’t improve our current ones which I think is the next step to evolve another level. Let’s just see if it happens to begin with 👍
