Oh yeah, you're right. I just looked at the table and saw they were 3rd. They must not count AFC. ****, joke ruined.
Barcelona have signed France striker Antoine Griezmann from La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid after paying his 120m euros (£107m) buyout clause. His new buyout clause is 800 million euros.
That’s more than a fair point. Much as I (and many others) deride the club now for its many failings, intent to sign a player is born out of agreeing terms and having him through for a medical. It’s not a land-on-the-moon conspiracy. It would soon get around that City are playing silly buggers if they were inviting players for medical just to fill the press and sell season passes.
The club have not said anything about him having a medical, in fact, they’ve said nothing about anything, like normal.
You may well be correct on that but I believe the point was an alleged club sleight of hand in reporting/actioning a medical for a lad with zero intent on having him hold a City shirt in front of a HDM photographer.
