Manchester City

It's not. Chelsea are running away with it leaving the rest to fight places behind. If Spurs win this one it'll still be on, so I hope they win to keep this alive.

Spurs got away with that today. Some (more) terrible refereeing decisions. Best result for us I guess

really? you want Spurs to win to make it more a fight with Chelsea.....than a draw which keeps us within a win of 2nd.

Still reckon City will finish above Spurs and it will be Spurs missing out on top 4. Just think a couple of injuries to Spurs and they will capitulate.

Yep their bottle jobbie will come around April. We lose yet have no serious damage ahead or behind us. Time for Burnley to turn up like they did against us.

shows how well we did at the start....I cant see us winning the title, but get january out of the way and we will at worse be a few points behind the chasing pack and we will get back to our winning runs while CHelsea/Arsenal/Spurs wll have theres at some point.

Spurs winning gives Chelsea less breathing space while still being within touching distance of ourselves. If Chelsea win tomorrow then the league is almost sewn up for them, especially that they don't have a taxing schedule for the remainder of the season.

WTF is that about from the journalist?

Asking about how a manager feels about the level of a young player? I feel for Pep and any other foreign manager over here. It's all ****ing biased; British managers don't get all the crap that foreign managers get. Sam ****ing Allardyce is considered a saint and ****ing Alan Pardew is a demi-god with plenty of witty south London repartie.

**** off.

Bantz is whatz is all aboutz.

[Roboklopp]

Don't really see your point in this case TBH, although your general argument has some merit.

Don't encourage him!

Manchester City will not sell Aguero for anything less than £80m. (The Times - subscription required)

Keep hearing how brilliant it is for City and their youthful attacking trio and giving them a chance to play

Sterling 50 million, Jesus 30 million , Sane 30 Million , not sure on the exact prices but ****ing hell what a brilliant youth policy that is.

That's the thing though - you need to get them before City do i.e. a year before they make the big break though. City want to buy young players but they want the absolute best ones:

Sterling - £50m (inc English premium)
Jesus - £29m
Sane - £36m
Stones - £50m

They missed out on Laporte but bought Stones ().

Once the player is already at a big club Schalke, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Atletico, Premier League club it makes it harder for us.

We need to buy Van Dijk from Celtic or Weigl from 1860 Munich for example to get proper value otherwise we are out of that market.

The club seems to have pinned their hopes on Brandt but Sane is the yardstick that Leverkusen will put on him now - he'll cost £30m+ I'm sure.

Should have bought Van Dijk before Celtic tbf.
