    2nd place gets £3.1m more than third I suppose so if we do finish above Liverpool that's Kiwiors salary covered for the year

    Christ, Ramsdale/Nketiah/Nelson eat up £320k a week of our wages. Get rid.

    I do wonder how many players will be sold/shipped off because there's potentially a lot who could leave.

    Cedric and Elneny will be leaving on free transfers.
    Ramsdale, Tierney, Tavares, Nketiah, Marquinhos, Lokonga & Nelson all look certainties to be leaving.
    I'd expect close to £100m for that lot, although it depends on the financial power of the clubs who bid for them because this is what hindered us last Summer.
    All the spending power was in our league, yet we barely had any PL clubs in for our players.

    Let's not forget there are question marks over Smith-Rowe, Zinchenko and Jesus' futures, too.

    Apparently they want £60m for Ramsdale. (Which is probably his worth in todays market)

    Tierney £15m
    Tavares £10m
    Nketiah £20m
    Lokonga £20-30m
    Marquinhos £2.5m
    Plus Cedric and Elneny off the wages.

    I think he'll keep Nelson and Smith Rowe.

    Anyways Isak scored another brace - One goal off Top scorer now. I fancy him to beat Palmer or Haaland to the Golden boot now.

    Sign him up Mikel.

    Newcastle have been too casual. They should be 1 or 2 up at this point - just bad decision making in the box.

    Newcastle had the chances to win, and arguably should have, but a draw away at St. James Park is not a bad result for City. We still have to go there in a few weeks, let's see how we fare...hopefully, we get a better result than last year.

    Perhaps you wet farts might stop crying about your defeat up here now.

    Foden delays the restart yet Lallana gets the card<confused>

    515 minutes with no goals and no assists for £25m Nketiah this season. Safe to say we mugged them off there. But also safe to say we won’t be getting any of the £5m performance related bonuses

    Still early days, but yeah, it's not looking great. For what it's worth, Mateta only got 2 league goals in his first season, now he's their best forward. Nketiah could still improve and we could get that extra £5m...

    You seem to do really well with shifting bang average players for huge profits.

    Does annoy me that the only team that seems to benefit from City having an off-season is always Liverpool. When City are on it, they always win the league period. When City are off it, Liverpool always seem to be the ones who take advantage and have one of their good seasons. Why can't we be the ones to have a good season coinciding with City having a mediocre one?! Urgh.

    23-24 - City on it and get 91 pts (Arsenal close challenge with 89)
    22-23 - City on it and get 89 pts and win treble (Arsenal close challenge with 84)
    21-22 - City on it and get 93pts (Liverpool close challenge with 92)
    20-21 - City get 86pts and no real challenge from anyone else (United second on 74)
    19-20 - Liverpool get 99pts (City miles off it with 81pts)
    18-19 - City on it with 98pts (Liverpool close-ish challenge on 92)
    17-18 - City on it with 100pts and no real challenge from anyone else (United second on 81)

    Because we never optimise our chances of winning and we have a manager who tries to go all galaxy brain, rather than platform our best (profiled) players. When I look at Slot and Maresca, they're not doing anything revolutionary at either of their clubs, but they're giving themselves the best possible chance to win each game with their balanced line-ups and selections. We don't do that. And until we do, we will continue to miss out on the major trophies we want.
