A claim has been made that Riyad Mahrez is now open to a move to Saudi Arabia, with just two years left on his contract at Manchester City.

This comes from a report by The Athletic journalist Sam Lee, as the £60 million (Sky Sports) man, after it was revealed on Tuesday that Al-Ittihad were desperate to get the deal done.

Walker to Munich? ..so many players looking to leave this summer, Pep's assistant gone too, going to need about 7 players this summer just to replace the one's going. bids have come in for Phillips too, i think Gundogan would of signed now if he he was staying too with only 2 weeks left on his contract, going to be a rebuild this summer and a new looking City team next summer

It's a madness, we losing nearly a full team of players, most getting on a bit but still a lot to lose in one window

Walker - Laporte - Cancelo

Mahrez - Gundogan - Bernardo - Palmer

Possible replacements Gvardiol, Kovacic we need a fast world class winger

Ederson

Dias              Gvardiol

Akanji        Stones       Rodrigo               Ake

Foden          De Bruyne        Bernardo

Alvarez               Haaland

 

BENCH:- Ortega, Lewis, Walker Gomez, Kovacic, Phillips, Grealish, Mahrez, Palmer

It's a life style thing with him, he doesn't like the English weather and wanted to move for years, he's won everything now so he might go for it and we get a good fee from them for him

Spain makes more sense.

Pep Guardiola has reportedly already spoken to Manchester City transfer target, Josko Gvardiol, over a potential move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.

Earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano claimed that negotiations are progressing well for City in terms of agreeing personal terms with the RB Leipzig defender.

Looks like Kimmich is a none starter, Munich don't want to sell, not showing any interest in Mbappe too

Walker is now having contract talks so might stay

Gundogan looking likely to leave and has been released, real blow he's got a few good years left in him but still in talks with us so lets see

Gvardiol & Kovacic just a matter of time

Bernardo & Laporte got offers from PSG but think Bernardo is waiting to see if any other clubs come in for him

Gundogan is easily as good as de Bruyne

As important to the team maybe, as good? no. De Bruyne is one of the best long range passers and finishers in the game with a total of 31 assists this season and 10 goals compared to Gundogans 7 assist and 11 goals

I'm going to have to say Grealish is the best man city player. The way he has developed in the team and moves the ball around the pitch is unmatch. 

 

I reckon most of you will say haaland. 

I wouldn't even have Grealish in the first 11, Foden is far better in that position and so is Bernardo

More dodgy sponsorship money coming to light... 

If your rereferring to the Morgan hit piece there was nothing new or exclusive in it :4_joy: cant believe that's all they had lol, shocking and desperate, absolutely nothing for us to worry about, out the 115 charges they could only find 2 that they couldn't work out where two 15million payments came from which all will be revealed in court :rofl: ..even more confident we are getting cleared now after that

Basically the whole thing was about something that was brought up in the uafa investigation and it boils down to some guy paid the money on behalf of Etisalat in 2 payments of 15m one in 2012 and in 2013 and that person was connected to our own, however those by a broker acting on behalf of Etisalat who was having cash flow issues, and city shown evidence at the cas hearing showing Etisalat repaid the money a year later, so basically Etisalat used a broker and intermediary to pay their sponsorship to city and then Etisalat repaid it a year later, so in essence Etisalat  borrowed the sponsorship money, this was a time bared offence at the time. Basically this just allowed Etisalat to start their sponsorship agreement earlier when they didn't have the money, but IGT allowed city to add it to their 2012 financial figure, but this is just a everyday business thing that lots of companies do called invoice factoring where companies get paid straight away but its paid back at a later date, it is just a general business thing that gets done all the time. Yes it was time barred but it would have been dismissed anyway similar to the same accusation made about Etihad, that was within the statute of limitation but was found to NOT be true by case and city was proved innocent on the Etihad charge!

I prefer the defense some Arab city fans have made online: “yes we cheated but who cares, but Qatar is funding the investigation into this!”

And the time before this where City were caught red handed the CAS bailed them out by saying the evidence was too old to be considered so it’s not really a debate over whether or not you’re financially doping but rather how much of a difference it’s made to City’s fortunes on the pitch.

You see, you don't know the facts mate. we wasn't caught red handed at all. the judge ruled it couldn't be presented but we had proof we was innocent of that charge anyway, infact we have asked in this current hearing if we can present that evidence to clear our name completely

Man City are set to retain their place at the top of Deloitte’s Money League - an annual profile of the highest revenue generating clubs in world football - for a third year in succession and widen the gap on Real Madrid. B|

LOAD. OF. BOLLOCKS!

Man City DO NOT generate more money than every club in world football... they don't even generate more money than  2 other clubs in England.

Cooking the books really doesn't count :rofl:
