Not Premier League titles ... still just the one*
Do you know how many the Manchester clubs have between them? ... not the old money ones ... just the elite (and without asterisks) era
Football existed before 1992 mate

I know mate .. Eton still celebrates those Wall game titles prior to the Football League being formed ..
... doubt any of them could have won the Premier League mind ...
So about the Saviniho deal, let's take a look under the bonnet...
- Comes through the Atl. Mineiro academy.
- Signs for Troyes for £6m, setting a new transfer record.
- Troyes are owned by the same group as City.
- He goes out on loan first to PSV then to Girona, never actually kicking a ball for Troyes.
- Girona are also owned by the same group as City.
- City offer Troyes £30m for him, which they accept.
- Troyes have never sold a player for more than £10m.
- Again, Troyes are owned by the same people who own City.
QED, City have just paid themselves £30m for a player.
Am I missing something?
Seems dodgy as hell.

Sucky will fill you in with anything you're not sure about.
This isn't attracting that much attention because Troyes are the real beneficiary of the deal, not City.
They've suffered back to back relegations (clinging on to Ligue 2 status only thanks to Bordeaux going bust). Their revenue has plummeted as a result and as we all know, the golden equation of FFP is that spending can't exceed revenue by more than x per year.
So what's a nice quick way of increasing revenue? Selling players. And it helps immensely when the buying club is essentially your big brother.
Some worrying transfers for City if they lose Ederson, De Bruyne and Da Silva. Arsenal will win it if that happens.
I think he's already made that decision a couple of years back.
Spoiler: Football didn't win.
Maybe hes waiting for them to be relegated to division 3 and all the big stars leave in disgrace and he can play
Problem is I think he thought he was good enough but we all knew he wasn't up to that standard, career wise he probably should have gone to Villa when they wanted him

I nearly did put. He'll get neither at Everton

Every club that has ever finished in the top 3 of the top division is still going.
In days of old, when Knights were bold ... and Everton were relevant
