Do not understand how players are seeing Barcelona stripping the wiring out of the walls and offering to do weddings and children's parties on the side just to have enough money to register signings and thinking 'this is the place to be'.

If you're the kind of person who views City as a sportswashing exercise rather than a club, then I think having another brave English lion in their squad makes perfect sense.

I don't know how their overall homegrown numbers are. Maybe that was a consideration too.

He was bad, so bad that Leeds fans hated him and wanted him gone. Then bielsa turned up and completely transformed him. Kalvin credits him as turning him into the player even he didn't think he could be so I feel like going into the improved bielsa system will be a winner if he gets a chance to play

It’s this. He wanted to play for Pep. Will be interesting to see where he fits in, are they thinking a slightly crunchier Rodri that will ping some passes to Haaland? A midfield Tasmanian devil to break up CL match counters? I’ll take your comments off the air.

Andreas "Pre-season Pirlo" Pereira has always been great in July and shocking the rest of the year.

Mad that he's spent half a career at United without ever really getting near the first team.

Have you forgotten the pre Bruno times? I understand how you'd block them out but Pereira was given plenty of opportunity to show he could step up and he simply did not. Flashes of brilliance but just awful decision making in build up play.

Well yeah that's what I mean, it's been clear for years that he's not good enough and never would be, and yet he remained at the club.
