Happy Blue 1,901 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 16/06/2023 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.

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited June 29, 2023 by Happy Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Kevin De Bruyne will miss the start of the new season due to his hamstring injury. The Manchester City star hobbled off towards the end of the Champions League final victory over Inter Milan earlier this month. And scans have since revealed De Bruyne, 31, has suffered a Grade Three hamstring tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley888 0 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even have Grealish in the first 11, Foden is far better in that position and so is Bernardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your rereferring to the Morgan hit piece there was nothing new or exclusive in it 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 ..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!

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 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.
