Man City close to completing the signing of Mahrez for £60m.

Don't really rate him, not sure he'd add much to us really. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nacer-chadli/verletzungen/spieler/59631 - he are his injuries.

Just because he scored a tap in? He has been garbage for the last two seasons, and very injury prone.

Maybe MP was his agent. Or he's his dad. Or something equally as perculior. Maybe we actually got paid to sign him, that would make more sense. The fee was just a bluff to make it look like we were active. Yeah, I'll go with that.

Amazeballs World Cup. Poor Japan. Lucky Belgium and Bobby.

Scrap all tactics. Fellani is on

A lot of their technical players are in Europe.

this is setup perfect for Japan now. Belgium have to commit and they’re managed by Rob. Japan can hit them on the break here

This is insane

Pace but nothing else. Don’t rate that kid.

Nah, I saw enough of him to know he wasn’t a decent PL player, struggled to make an impact in any of the games he played. Didn’t hold the ball up, didn’t really bring others into the game, was slow and lacked mobility. It was telling that he barely got a look in once Hughes was through the door, in games we needed to win he wasn’t even making the bench. Nowhere near good enough for us.

A nonsense pre season article.

Absolutely insane that we spent so much on someone who was no more than our failed managers mate. Maybe we should ask MP to compensate us for him? In all seriousness though, whoever sanctioned this at club level needs to be tossed out.

Here's his full message on the OS:

Some of the articles I've read linking us to him, all discribe him as having an 'impressive season' at Nice. Maybe they're lazy reviews.

They'll have a bit of cash to play with for sure. Good signing for Nice if they pull it off and another few $$ for us to reinvest. Looks like this Merlon deal is happening though. Not quite sure what to make of it, I seem to remember him being very, very highly rated when Barca signed him. All reports suggest he had a standout season for Nice last year, yet their fans couldn't wait to get shot of him. Confusing.

Jeeez, Croatia were so lucky there. Denmark played them brilliantly in the 2nd half and played the better football for me, they just lack a decent focal point really. Don't think they deserved to go out, but never mind. This World Cup is so weird though, in a positive way. Quarter finals so far... Uruguay v France Russia v Croatia **** knows how tommorow will go, could well be a Mexico and Japan win going by this World cup so far!

That's no news really, there were Nice rumours back in May. No real exclusive there Nixon!

Can't remember it, I was only 4!

What a ****ing great world cup this has been so far, absolutley epic. Uruguay are the stand out 'team' for me, in the sense that they're a team. Those guys will put their bodies on the line for eachother at any moment. I reckon they could frustrate france and get through you know, let's not forget that France weren't amazing at the back today. But yeah, best world cup of my life time so far.

That's nothing more than Skybet clickbait. Surprised they're actually allowed to do that...

He’s listed in the squads ive seen.

We're suddenly not hanging around are we? I'm sure I remember Barca signing him from a brazilian club, where he was looked at as their replacement for Carols Puyol - i'm sure it's the same one, he was rated as a hell of a talent when they signed him. Bit of a beast, but can be a tad rash. Here's a video for him from his time in Brazil -

Have a very positive feeling about this signing. He's someone I was really impressed with in the UCL.......so I think he's got what it takes. What I noticed with him is that he wasn't your conventional attacking/small wide man....he is bulky and strong, he can hold off players as well as dribble past them. He's not as quick as Mane, but he's certainly not slow. This will add an element to our attack we've been missing for a few seasons IMO....
