He was on Onouha’s podcast years back taking about it - he went up to Villa to meet Tiger Timmy Sherwood and agreed a deal with them. On the drive back with his agent they got a call from Sherwood and Ferdinand’s shared agent saying QPR would beat any Villa offer. |

I meant more in the sense that JET was going to Villa until Ferdinand swooped in at the last second and outbid them to get him. |

A walking symbol of Ferdinand’s time as DOF. |

I always think these ‘early’ round Carling Cup games against Prem opposition carry a profoundly weird atmosphere where neither side wants to actually win the game. No idea what the answer is either |

Once again, you’re missing that he’s never going to be the guy to be running off the shoulder of the defender to take on a shot.
His game is getting to the penalty spot and his time here will live or die upon our ability to get the ball wide and into the box as quick as possible. |

Whilst I’m sure nobody cared what I think, it does seem that people fundamentally misunderstand Celar’s game.
He’s never going to be the guy running the channels off defender shoulders to get in behind, his game is entirely about getting to the penalty spot asap and being alive in the box.
Take some time and truly watch his movement in the box and it’s night and day compared to what we have had before, he’s constantly losing his marker and getting himself into space for the cutback and has already on several occasions gotten on the end of set pieces into the box by being alive and on his toes. Contrast with Dykes who was consistently on his heels and literally never got across his man to the front post to meet crosses.
To this extent he is completely unsuited to what we see as this QPR team as we always spend 6 million years fart assing about before getting the ball into the box and on the rare occasions we break and create an overload there has consistently been a lack of composure to make the right decision for the past few years. |

Yes he’s the young red haired lad in first team training photos from the other week.
Signed short term for some cover and Dev matches while Salamon is out. |

Marti doesn’t think so as having taken him on tour he left him out of the friendlies after and didn’t bother to give him a squad number.. |

It’s a nonsense claim though, not least because the PL have rules against Associated Party Transactions that they’ve taken to tribunal as they say the PL unfairly impact them. Their biggest sponsorship deal is Puma for kits, and still less than Arsenal or United get…
They’re profitable because they keep winning trophies. |

Man City have been profitable for a decade now.
They’re also no longer owned exclusively by Sheikh Mansour, around 30% of City and their group of clubs was sold to Silver Lake Capital (worlds 11th largest fund) and the Chinese Government. |

I said if the PL win it looks horrible for them that their most successful club of recent times has been cheating. If the PL lose it looks horrible that they’ve come for their most successful club of recent times and a tribunal says they didn’t have the evidence to do that.
Either scenario shows a need for systematic change within the PL and crucially justifies the Government regulator they’re desperately trying to avoid. |

The reason it’s taken 2 years to come to tribunal is the volume of discovery City provided. The PL have Adam Lewis the best in the business overseeing from their side, they’ll not be beaten by ‘better lawyers’.
Their bigger issue is that the main issues they’re investigating - Etihad and Etisalat sponsorships - were already discussed at CAS and ruled to be perfectly fine.
The other issues - Mancini’s ‘second contract’ and Image Rights - were not discussed in depth at CAS as UEFA weren’t interested in them.
The word has been that the PL has tried several times in the past year to agree a settlement and City told them to get fcked and put their cards on the table - let’s see if that turns out to be true or not.
Either way the PL is fcked, if they win then their most successful team of the past decade has been cheating, and if they lose then they’ve gone for their most successful team of recent times and embarrassed themselves. |

The PL have Adam Lewis from Blackstone Chambers (same chambers as Nick De Marco), it’s not like they have Lionel Hutz on the case.
If the charges aren’t upheld it’s because the PL didn’t have the evidence, not because City had better lawyers. |

Yes the club could buy up all the houses and rent them out without affecting FFP, any revenue and costs would be irrelevant for FFP purposes.
No, they would never get planning permission to steal the gardens for expansion of LR as it would block out natural light to the houses.
You could theoretically buy up the houses and knock them down to expand LR but no way the council would grant planning permission to reduce housing stock. |

He’s trying to get out with as minimal a loss as possible.
They’ve been trying for years to nab an American to buy them out. |

I mean it’s clearly not OTT - Whoscored has Rice then Grealish as their highest rated, BBC had Grealish as their clear man of the match….
Either way though it’s clearly a weird time to claim Eze is better than Grealish when Grealish had a great game. |

It’s great to see differing opinions and also supporting an ex R, you’re not going to get many people in the sport backing your opinion though unfortunately as seen by Palace getting zero interest in Eze this summer whilst Olise got a wages bidding war . |

They tried to do a deal on deadline day but they couldn’t agree a settlement. I guess their hope was that he would take a European loan to January but instead he will train with the reserves and try again in January to agree a payoff… |

Only if they’re out of contract when the window closes.
Hence the routine of clubs releasing players 31st August every year so they can find a club later on. |
