Smoke and mirrors mon ami, all concocted to help City with their 'financial difficulties', the amount we are reportedly paying for young Jimmy is £19 million including the add-ons. In reality he won't cost cost us anything like that, not even close. The figure I heard was £10-12 million.Quote:

Another of those mysteries mon ami, we were looking at a future England international, then he got injured, we signed two more CBs in the January window, Vinni didn't exactly rush him back into the team after his injury, then he's signed for Southampton. It was clear before the end of the season that he was leaving, why did he not want to stay and play in the PL for a City legend, why did we seemingly make no effort to keep him, why did no PL club take him on ?Quote:

I cannot help you on this one sinkov. Another one of VK's mysteries wrapped inside an enigma. :confused:Quote:

Mrs BT sounds the real deal to me mon ami, I assume there'd be gravy as well. I think I could stand a plate or two of that.:oQuote:
