Christian Purslow when Man city finally get through on the phone and say they want to buy Jack Grealish

 

Well let's hope this saga does not drag into the last day of the window! The club hold all the aces. City will come in with a low ball offer, club need to say you want him then, let's say 180m, and you have a 24 hour deadline. If you can't meet it jog on he is not for sale.

Jack then signs a new contact and Villa talk will be all like

No chance we're getting Doku and Sarr is not happening either

wait till January to see how things are going.

 

January is the worst window to buy players, clubs know you are desperate so add 5-10m to the price, it is a pretty awful window.

I think this is called 'catastrophizing' 

Expect the worse so anything better than worse case is a bonus.

Sets us back this season absolutely no doubt. But over time, it sets us up - I'm thinking if Citeh end up paying £130mill. They won't get him cheap or even discounted. 

I disagree, without Jack we are mid to lower table fodder, we were awful without him. I am sure Buendia signed thinking he would be playing alongside Jack. I think a mid  to lower table finish this season will see Watkins and Martinez leave. We won't be able to reinvest the money from City as clubs will know we have money and will demand too dollar, we won't pay it so end up in great shape financially but top 6? Forget it!

I think Leeds will get in to top 4.

This is one of those moments I miss gifs.

I did a quick test with gboard on Android. The gif button is there but when I press the image I get a "not supported on this site" from both Firefox and Chrome. Anybody got this to work or is it just me?

Copying a gif-link works fine.

 

Same for me, I get not supported, tried all the different web browsers on Android. 

Thing is what do you stop next, users posting too many images, puns? Looks like the Gifs have already been removed, I can see some users still can post them but the majority ,including me, have seen the gif button dissappear.

Integrated keyboards with gif dont work (not on android anyway) I have Gboard, SwiftKey and the Samsung one and none of them work. 

I think puns are more annoying, waking up to a thread with 10 new pages only to find 9 of it littered with fish puns is more annoying than gif, a well placed gif can be funny! ! I would have said limit them but looks like they have been removed.

So I've been tied up all day and just logged on.

Anything happened with our Jack yet?

 

He might have already agreed terms with City, but also is having second thoughts,  also he may have had a new contract offer from Villa, that City have doubled.... basically no ones knows and everyone is in a panic over some 'reports' from a  wannabe 'ITK'

Only a pre season game but

That challenge on Keinan is a card every day of the week!? This ref is awful.

The overall standard of refs in England is shocking

You know what would be the funniest, if he brought DCL on for Mount

He will probably bring Bellingham on for the banter...

Just now, Ingram85 said:

They’ve all been crap this half. Kane is 27 going on an asthmatic 83. How Mount is still on I’ll never know. 

Rice off!? He has been outstanding! Mount still on? Not even seen him this half! 

FFS Henderson...

It was coming, sitting too far back and get punished

Love it! 

Mount on a yellow, no way will Southgate keep him on for the full 90.... with us 1 up there is no way Jack comes on. Italy will go all out attack now.
