Looks like Bale is off to the MLS.
Can’t fault him.

It makes sense. A nice lifestyle in LA, game played at a much easier pace. He could be a king over there still.Looks like Bale is off to the MLS.

The next Jack Rodwell! I didn't realise he was 26 actually, I thought he was more like 23. Can't see him playing more than 50% of games, but then, in England terms sitting on the bench at City will earn him more call-ups than actually playing in a relegation battle anyway.Looks like City are signing Philips for £45m. Decent price for a 26 yr old international. Don’t think he will be a starter for city but he will relieve the burden on Rodri
Are there any good golf courses in LA? Really he only wants to stay fit until the world cup with Wales. Suspect he'll retire not long after and take up golf full time.It makes sense. A nice lifestyle in LA, game played at a much easier pace. He could be a king over there still.
He will fit in lovely I think. Being English helping with quotas etc in Europe. Transfer window is ticking over lovely for City.The next Jack Rodwell!

I think it’s being done well financially. City are after the left back at Brighton then that’s it. I think there’s still a few to go out. The academy is bringing a few quid in as well. funnily enough I think City fans are chuffed with the league but the champs league continues to be the itch that cannot be scratched at the moment. Talking to a Forest fan the other day. He said “ I cannot wait to sing at the Etihad champions of Europe you’ll never sing that” ????Easily the best window of any team so far.....
Haaland
Alvarez (finally added after loan)
Phillips
Some crazy talented additions considering you're already head and shoulders above the rest of the league (bar Liverpool)
Honestly if you dont win the Champions League in the next 2 years it'll be quite laughable.
Slow down.. better than Perisic, Bissouma and Forster??Easily the best window of any team so far.....

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he was signed up by the LIV Tour. One of their gimmicks may be a pro-AM type scenario, but just paying high profile celebrities who are half decent at golf, huge sums of money to play. Maybe they wouldn't even need to be decent, I'm sure they would happily pay Donald Trump millions to play. Like him or hate him, it would get publicity.Are there any good golf courses in LA?

Haha, it's funny because it's true. I could totally see them having at least a few pro-am type events with high profile celebrity golfers. And as he'll be playing the world cup in Qatar he can hardly baulk at the Saudis can he?I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he was signed up by the LIV Tour.

Certainly better business than dropping 100m on one player - I think they've learned that lesson this year!
You do great business, much like Chelsea - selling players on when the time is right is absolutely key to financial stability!
You can continue being chuffed with the league, but the outside footballing world are laughing a bit..... Truly great teams win it all. I dont believe City can ever claim to be "the best team in the world" when they cant even win in Europe.
P.S - I sang it loud and proud when I came to the Etihad
It's an age old dsicussion, welll certainly since the CL format came about, but you can't claim to be the best in the world if you are team that wins the CL without winning your own domestic league. If you aren't the best team in your own country, how can you be the best team anywhere else? The league shows the best team, the CL shows the best cup team.Certainly better business than dropping 100m on one player - I think they've learned that lesson this year!

Like they didn’t when Kanes price went up. ?Only because Haaland had a release clause lol, theyd have paid over 100m without batting an eyelid lol

I'm with the City fans and I am pleased that they are fairly indifferent to the CL. The league is the one to win every time. Winning the CL completes the set but that is all.
They didnt pay it for Kane is a little misleading, theyd happily have paid £120m just not the fantasy £150m Levy wanted lol. Says more about Levy than City imho
Fully expect theyll pay it again in the future too for the right player. Its far easier when you have the pick of pretty much every player wanting to join you though
But that’s the thing about most City fans. Have seen rammel football for a couple of generations we still don’t expect any trophies never mind the champions league. With the exception of newer younger fans. The bonus for me is seeing football played a fantastic way.They've only ever done it once though, and so far we are yet to see that pay off. Theyre so good they dont need to be bullied into over paying - unlike United for example.
Kane didnt move last year alongside Grealish... They wouldnt pay it..
But If you have established success at the domestic level over 10 years, the CL being the only trophy you need to complete the cabinet, It becomes the most important no? They only dont care because they havent won it
If and when they do - because Im sure they will - The fans will be signing at the top of their lungs about being CL champions...
Abramovic was never resting until Chelsea won the CL... It means a lot commercially too!
