Posted 6hrs ago "Exclusive: Manchester City set to avoid Champions League ban Manchester City will not be banned from European competition when the decision on the club’s highly contentious Financial Fair Play case is announced next month. Many in the game have been expecting City to be barred from Europe next season after a series of revelations about their finances were published by German magazine Der Spiegel last year but The Athletic understands the club will only receive a fine..."

Can't remember him having a bad game and then not responding. If he doesn't, it might be a sign that he's peaked. Isn't he normally suspended or injured at Christmas and New Year? He arranges his own personal mid season break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he's got his gloves and can eat a nice steak once in a while he's OK.

Sadly not appreciated by their own as both made their name in Europe and not with their home clubs. They're getting there though???? As for Rick's point, his judgement may be clouded by his own experience with such luminaries as Fred, Kleberson, Rodrigo and the Da Silva twins being examples????. And as we're on this thread, to be fair, City have a few Brazilian successes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardiles, Villa, Tevez, Aguero, Zabaleta, Crespo... even people like D'Allesandro for Portsmouth were amazing for a little bit. Fabinho and Alison are great, but they don't really spring to mind when you think about Brazilian style of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson was a great player, and made a great contribution, just started to struggle with injuries and his fitness. It's funny how we go by the reputation attached to players instead of actually remembering what the did in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his surname was Robertson you'd be having a circle wank over him. Typical scouse... think you've made it and can start talking down about players who won three Premier Leagues.

Mate no disrespect.. but I actually watched a lot of those 3 back to back title seasons. Ando and Wazza were very similar in build and athleticism. When those two and Tevez were playing together it was like having 3 high speed tanks who were all also tremendous footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 MrBj if you have 30mins watch 2 City fans who are accountants (Colin Savage is always good value - wicked humour on twatter also) discuss City's just released financial accountants. They forecast our revenue will pass the red scum's if they don't get CL this season. They reckon City are valued at around £2.3Bn (Sheikh Mansour 'god bless him' invested around £1.2Bn so he is laughing) and red scum at around £2.7m.
