weird move, not weird that he’s moving or that city are buying a world class striker, but i expected Messi at City and CR7 at PSG. Really weird turn of events IMO.

He's assured of a warm welcome!

jimmyhillsfanclub · Aug 27, 2021

Welcome to Manchester sign, like when Tevez joined Man City?

Has told Juve he won’t be playing for them again and they’ve left him out of the squad for next game. Can only be a few clubs that would take him and City one of them. Never played in Germany so maybe Bayern could be another option. Other than that, no chance of going to Barca and Real are set on Mbappe. Interested to see him back in PL.

Really weird signing for a team that is built on fast pressing from the front.

As someone on the bbc podcast said he's a like a siege engine, he can be effective but needs to be wheeled into position first

stay_up_skyblues · Aug 27, 2021

Scored more than Lukaku last season in that league so however they get him in the side you’d think it’s a good signing, even if it’s for one season. Probably be the difference between winning the title.

In a team built for him. Juve want rid of him as they see him as not worth the money and Italian commentators say Juve are better without him

The backlash the Glaziers would see if he went to City would be enormous. I can see why the Glaizers will spend the £25m needed just to save face

Nick · Aug 27, 2021

Not sure why people obsess over the transfer fee.

It's the wage he would demand also.

Evo1883 · Aug 27, 2021

He's a machine , probably can carry on until he's close to 40 (like ibrahimavic )

I'd rather see him at man utd for the nostalgia more than anything

Evo1883 · Aug 27, 2021

Breaking news... man city OUT of the running , He's been offered to Man utd

They'd make his wages back on shirt sales alone

Evo1883 · Aug 27, 2021

That would be a pretty impressive window for man utd wouldn't it?

Varane - sancho - Ronaldo

Evo1883 · Aug 27, 2021

Premier league looking pretty stacked right now tbh

Like series A in the 90s , most of the best players are here now

need a defensive midfielder as well - If they can get Saul as rumoured then that would be some window

Is he better than Waghorn though?

Yes that famous defensive midfielder Saul

I think even that Ronaldo cut-out would have more mobility

No but he allows other players to play deeper

Better luck time

Is he? Based on what? I'm assuming it's not the old 'shirt sales' argument?

Did you see how much messi was said to have made PSG in his first few days

skybluegod · Aug 27, 2021

Not surprised Man United have ended up in the driving seat for this. Good in footballing terms for United, will score a crap tonne of goals and provides yet further winning mentality to their team. Genius really.

Liquid Gold · Aug 27, 2021

Only a tiny percent of shirt sales go to the club.

Adidas don't pay Utd £100m then give the revenue from sales straight back to them.

Unfortunately it's one of the biggest misconceptions ever. What do you think addidas/Nike etc pay the kit deals for to clubs?

Kit deals are not traditional sponsorship deals – they are licensing deals, which enable the kit manufacturers to use the club’s brand to sell branded apparel. Clubs receive an annual fee – for example, Manchester United receives £75 million per year from Adidas, and then 10-15% of the revenue the kit manufacturer generates from shirt sales. Adidas predicted they were going to make £1.5 billion, over the course of their deal with United. That isn't coming from a simple logo on the front of the shirt! At best United might get several million it definitely won't cover his transfer fee and salary!

It's also largely been proven that kit sales don't dramatically increase over the course of the season because of marquee signings at least not on the scale people make out. There of course will be some. Instead it's just that people who would likely have got the kit anyway get the marquee signings name on it. But given United have made two marquee signings already I doubt people are going to back for another shirt.

Steal my thunder in a much more concise way. Bastard
