Grealish - played a CRUCIAL role in our Treble. That alone was worth his price tag.
Gvardiol - you’re joking right? PS: he cost £77m.
Marmoush - not a flop + he cost £60m.
Nico Gonzalez - definitely not a flop, played a key role for us when Rodri’s been injured. He cost £50m.
Reijnders - only played one season and was decent. He cost £46m btw.
Kalvin Phillips - flop
Savinho - he cost £30m and is about to be sold for £60m+ to Spurs. Not bad for a ‘flop’.
Ait Nouri - he cost £35m. How is he a flop? Been excellent and he was cheap too.
James Trafford - not a flop. Cost: £31m.
Vitor Reis - will play with the first team this season. He’ll become one of the best in the world. Wait and see before you judge.
Benjamin Mendy - flop but injuries ruined him.
Claudio Bravo - flop.
Nolito - wasn’t a flop. He was pretty good actually and quite cheap.
Danilo - he was really good actually, you ain’t serious. Tells me you haven’t watched him play for City.
Matheus Nunes - cost: £47m. Arguably the best RB in the league this season. Not bad for a ‘flop’, eh?
Joao Cancelo - are you serious?? He was amazing and one of the best fullbacks in the world. PS: he cost £27m + Danilo.
In other words, most of this list is wrong. Prices are heavily inflated and most of them aren’t flops. Funny thing is that all of these players have won more trophies than your entire club over the last 10 years.
🚨 Atlético Madrid statement following €150m bid from Real Madrid for Julián Álvarez.
“1. You cut the video of the Pope where he said he was also an Atleti fan.
2. You must have confused ethics with gratitude, but to leave no doubts: we don't thank you for anything.
3. We are not studying nor considering any offer for Julián.
4. How could we [Madrid] not get along, when you make us laugh even more than Barcelona.”
Four episodes. Two final seasons. One legend as never seen before ⚽
