75m more than what we are used to

Thought Napoli were the better side outside the first 30 mins, even if City should have scored 4 in those 30 minutes. Fun game, hope Napoli play their best available XI in Naples.

They've rested their two best midfielders for some reason Saving for the league game against Inter this weekend, they seem to be prioritizing Serie A over the CL.

Okazaki as the only CF imo.

The Mahrez thing totally slipped my mind for some reason.

Considering Pardew's record pre and post Newcastle is completely horrific no. The media are just morons.

Because that one season aside they are a non-entity of a football club tbh.

So he can get angry reactions, whole thing is pretty blatant tbh. Best thing to do as always is ignore it all.

I knew biscuits were a bad idea.

Without trying to be too negative there's nothing substantial in that article at all even the 7bn part says "it's been reported" by who exactly?

Agree. having said that, Ulker and Yildaz Holdings companies are f***ing massive. Had no idea they also own Godiva. This guy has spent his entire life studying and working to be a global champion in the field of biscuits, etc. Also should be mentioned, because that's his starting idea ( 60m) it doesn't mean it wouldn't increase once the clubs grows on and off the pitch. I have no idea about the bloke obviously, but i would imagine if we had success he wouldn't stick to a hard and fast rule of 60m and fuck off.

Agree.

Depends. If it's 60m net then it could get a lot, keep in my mind only City, Man Utd and Chelsea spent more last summer. Of course if it's just 60m and it doesn't include sales going back into the team then it's fuck all.

Ashley’s worth isn’t the problem, his reluctance to use it is. Or more importantly, his reluctance to allow the club to spend it's own money.

He would be a great ambassador for the club, traveling abroad to meetings with potential sponsors etc. In that sense i agree, but nobody should be making footballing decisions but Rafa.

Wasn't this one of the things Rafa spoke about when he joined? obviously it's not realistic with Ashley but with a new owner you'd hope it comes a reality.

Exactly this.

Napoli's manager on playing Man City tomorrow Sarri: "Tomorrow I'd love to see 11 'dickheads' having the courage to play football right in Man City's face". Really looking forward to that.

In all seriousness though, there's going to be a lot of bullshit comments coming about this in the next 48 hours so be prepared.

Harsh on IP.

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty damn sure the fat man decided we were no longer for sale in between now and the last time he said we were up for sale.

That's it lads Insigne and Icardi in January.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR DUBAI/CHINESE/RICH PERSON PLACE OVERLORDS.

At the end of the day both of them fucked up and neither are good enough.
