    I think this is where I disagree. His underlying stats in 19/20 were outrageous. He was among the best players in the league. In retrospect I'm actually pleased the clause wasn't activated immediately like Delph's or in Jan.

    If the owners decided to just say no (like Levy) then he wouldn't be able to leave. Which is my entire point. Afaik a player under 28 can't buy themselves out of a contract within 3 years of signing it according to the Webster ruling. So NSWE could have just said no to a £200m bid if they'd wanted.

    His old contract would've still had multiple years left even if he didn't sign a new one iirc. My only point is that his new contract appears to have made it possible for him to leave this summer, or at least removed the option of NSWE to decide to keep him. For all we know though, there was a release clause in that contract as well and they had no choice either way.

    Iirc he didn't have a release clause in his previous contract so his new contract actually made it easier for him to leave as it removed NSWE's option to refuse all bids, which they surely would have taken

    Well that's his own bloody fault, I would advise Smith to go back in time and not get promoted so quickly so he could get his win % within the acceptable range.

    **** hell, we weren't half badly run pre-NSWE

    How much did they pay him in wages over those 4 years? If he never kicked a ball for them he was effectively just an expense the entire time.

    Phew, I was worried about this injury but this villareport guy is a known bullshitter.

    Fans taking down pro LGBT flags. The owners would be proud

    They've subtly counted the Sane money twice, once when the deal went through and now counting a big chunk of it again because Bayern are paying in installments. It's a load of bollocks and just a weak PR move to desperately try and make it seem less like they're just buying success. It makes sense for them to try really, owning the club is just a PR/sportwashing move for Abu Dhabi, so it's in their interest to try and make it seem like they play by the same rules as everyone else.

    That has never been the case ime. With grade 1 strains there is often a long, sometimes multiweek, grey area between injured and healed where it feels like it's fine but sometimes twinges during max exertion. I agree though that if that is the case he shouldn't have been picked

    He's good enough to play anywhere. Clearly the problem was his fitness. He looked to be struggling, possibly with an injury. Hopefully it's something he's over quickly
  13. YouUnastanFren
    Looked class again. Yet another goal involvement. Brilliant player, will be a real asset if/when he EVER FINALLY **** REACHES FULL FITNESS FFS
  14. YouUnastanFren
    Yeah if we extrapolate the results from one week then us, Leeds and Arsenal are in big, big trouble.
  15. YouUnastanFren
    Clearly wasn't fit enough to start today. Disappointing that we rushed him back. Hopefully the minutes have done him good at least

    City will be VAT registered so the £20m VAT will only effect their short term cashflow (which will never be a problem for a gulf state) then they'll be able to claim it back.
  17. YouUnastanFren
    CB threads are usually 80% complaining about their mistakes. I think the shortness of this thread reflects what a vanishingly small number he makes.
  18. YouUnastanFren
    If he was a mediocre keeper I'd still love him for the attitude alone. It just so happens that on top of being a top bloke he's also the best keeper in the league. £16m plus add ons. Daylight robbery.
  19. YouUnastanFren
    Agreed. Also calling them references is downplaying how lame it is. They are cosplaying characters from a period drama.
  20. YouUnastanFren
    They're all too busy outnumbering United fans and drinking in town to actually attend the games. Mate.
  21. YouUnastanFren
    He's spent more in 5 years than almost every single club in world football has spent in their entire history. Chequebook manager was coined before the sportwash revolution, this has been more like FM Editor management but IRL
  22. YouUnastanFren
    Actually they sold Sane that season so he was technically free, according to Peponomics. And then they received the money for Sane this season so they get to count that money twice
  23. YouUnastanFren
    Sure, Ferguson built United on the back of on field success and not a gulf state's PR budget but how many United fans can drink in the centre of Manchester? Exactly.
  24. YouUnastanFren
    No player joins City for the stadium atmosphere tbf
  25. YouUnastanFren
    Lol nobody had the tiniest clue this transfer was coming and now they claim to know the exact details of the deal. Seems like bulls**t to me.
