Well, congrats and welcome back to the prem.. where you lot belong

All clubs want to buy young players with re-sell value.. Older players are either the 5-6 core players clubs usually got or experienced players brought in to sort a specific problem..

I agree. Can't see lascelles leaving. How mad is it that we're in the Championship and are confident we won't be losing anyone to Chelsea. That´s rather optimistic.. If clubs like Chelsea comes calling I mean

Winning games like this is what gets you promoted.. Not the 6-0 wins, not the spectacular games but the hard and harsh away games at mill towns like Preston, Barnsley etc

Everyone gets sacked at Real Madrid.. You might almost say that you have to be sacked by Real to count for something in certain circles

All teams that are relegated from the prem have fans saying that they ought to trash teams like Rotherham... It never really happens does it? As I recall it when MCFC was down it was a struggle, 1-0, 2-1 wins away mostly.. and draws. At home there was different of course.

Success will eventually turn people more mellow... Just look at how Man Utd fans regard the Glazers nowadays, not happy about them but can live with them.

Bollocks was there. They've literally plucked that figure from thin air 1000s upon 1000s of empty pink seats all over. 35,000 at most there today and that's despite them handing out 5k free tickets to underprivileged kids and to various workplaces across the North East through their Foundation of Light charity. Attendance is actually "tickets distributed"... So yeah, you could give them all away and it would still count as attendance. What you can´t fool is matchday income! That's £13 a ticket on average if their 43,000 avg attendance is to be believed. Even less to be honest, there´s three cup games to that matchday income..

So it will be your dad and son with the postman between them?..

Bah, Al-Jazira FC got twice as much money as Man City.. If they want him they´ll pay

Prefered Al Ain when I was over there.. Like a hint of greenery me

Al Jazira FC.. A club that our Sheikh Mansour and one of his brothers have the privilege to bankroll in Abu Dhabi, still far from the richest club in the emirates.

Erm, £9.3m I think.. due to amortisation

And that´s my youghurt all over the screen.. Cheers

Not really, due to amortisation the value attached to Gini is just 80% of buying fee.. Bought for £14.5m (€20m) less one year of 5 = £11.6m but sold for £25m = £13.4m profit less PSV sell on clause beleved to be £4.2m = Net profit £9.2m

Been brilliiant tonight.. much better than say Pogba or Payet

Bleeding heck.. It´s hard to keep up with all the rumours about you lot this summer

It actually looks good on everything but the kits I think.. But heck, I´ll get used to it

I´m sure people was moaning about what clubs like say Southampton did spend in League One...

Well, in a way you are..

So which one of Silva, De Bruyne, Nasri, Sterling or Navas do we sell to make room for Townsend?..

Avatar material that..

He absolutely won this one.. Not even The Guardian does anything but focus on the "out of control" angle

Now told to stay put and that his resignation has been refused. Always find it a bit strange when a resignation gets refused, he obviously doesn't want to be there anymore. Granted he's probably one of the best out there for finding talent but if he doesn't want to be there seems daft keeping him. Everton.. Him and Emery Just a matter of the €5m release clause IMHO.
