        They can still spend as much as they did. No reduction in income for the lack of fans allowed in stadiums for them
        Football without Origi is nothing

          Also, why was Torres announced holding a kit with sponsor showing and Ake in a brandless club merch t-shirt

              It’s not brandless, it’s got Marathon Bet on it (training gear sponsor)

                Ferran Torres: Man City winger explains Valencia departure

                New Manchester City winger Ferran Torres says he left Valencia in part because they would not make him captain and one of their highest-paid players.

                Torres, 20, said he was "excited and happy" to join City, after completing his £21m move from the La Liga side.

                "I wanted to stay and I put forward the conditions to do so. They weren't above the club's means," he told Marca.

                But the Spaniard added he was "sad" to leave Valencia and "very grateful" to the club he joined aged seven.

                Comparisons with Ronaldo and a love of dogs - the inside story of Man City arrival Torres
                Torres said as well as asking for the captaincy and a wage increase, he also wanted Valencia owner Peter Lim to be involved in any talks over a new deal with them.

                "I wanted two of the three, but none were fulfilled," said the Spain Under-21 international, who revealed he did not have a good relationship with current Valencia skipper Dani Parejo.

                "I know they're not in the same position as big European clubs, but I was able to lead that project and wanted to be treated as such."

                Torres said he had more "peace of mind" about the move to the Premier League after speaking to City manager Pep Guardiola.

                He said he started to think about leaving the La Liga side after helping Spain win last summer's European Under-19 Championship.

                "The club told me personally they weren't counting on me," he added.

                "They literally said I was the fifth winger in the squad, that reinforcements were coming and other players from other positions were ahead of me.

                "It was a very hard blow for me, but what was worse was that they even put me on the market and offered me to teams in Spain."

                  Ah. I didn't zoom in. It looked about right for length to say Manchester City so my brain just told me that was it

                        Why quote Guardiola's total spend and compare to Klopps net spend?

                        Seem like lazy, sloppy journalism

                          According to this

                          Guardiola has a net spend of £431m in his time at City
                          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                            Does that count the hundreds of millions in special payments from overseas accounts or just the official ones

                                Asking to be made captain at the age of 20 because you don't get on with the current club captain doesn't sound like he gives a toss about the club/squad or morale, as well as arrogant, sounds like he'll fit in well at City
