Valencia signed up to 2019. Great extension, and especially love that this takes him into Testimonial term with the club, as he signed in 2009.

I dont think Silva is that great a signing for them

KDB, Sane, Silva, Silva, and Sterling are all playing in the same 2/3 spots now

assuming Kun stays you have to incorporate him and Jesus too

well the great thing (for non-City fans) is that Iheanacho is out of the door now for sure. It's funny, a year ago many people thought that Rashfords development would suffer under Mourinho, and that Iheanacho was going to flourish under Guardiola. Funny, really ... someone is going to get a young stud forward at a reasonable price now. Would love to see him at Dortmund for example.

plus if history is any indication, then Pep really needs an outstanding attacker who can create magic out of nothing to make his system work. He still hasn't found that player at City, I highly doubt that B. Silva is going to be that guy.

I would love to see him at Tottenham. They want Walker, so Iheanacho + $30m should do it.

Moses 2nd yellow card for diving. Walk of shame.

So we're one week into the offseason and Pep has already gone mad.

‎£43m for Bernardo Silva (+ ‎£18m in add-ons)
‎£43m for Benjamin Mendy
‎£45m for Ederson (lol)

at this rate, he'll get to over ‎£300m easily.

They are also apparently the favorites to land Fabinho and bid ‎£115m for Mbappe (which was rejected). Might as well go with the LA Angels approach and rename the team AS Monaco of Manchester.

a left back, a backup attacking mid (for his squad, not in talent), and a non world class keeper isn't the best way to spend 150m

I know they have unlimited funds but there are better ways to spend it

he has a checkered history of transfers to say the least, this could be interesting

just reading up on people who pay closer to attention to Ederson and they say that he's in general very good and could be world class, but as with most goalies its usually late 20's so hes a few years away

he's a good passer, which is all that matters to Pep

but his biggest weakness is handling crosses.... wrong league for that

115m rejected? Wow, how much is he going to go for? I think we'll see a lot of English clubs crushing their records for transfer fees this summer.

^ Huddersfield gave season ticket holders since 2008 free tickets for next year, and if you were a holder since 2009 the entire season is 100 pounds. Pretty awesome gesture to the holders I think! Clubs there sure know how to treat their fans in comparison to the franchises in pro sports here.

On another note entirely, apparently Wenger is staying and has signed a 2 year extension.

So many questions:

What was Patrick Stewart doing there?

Can you imagine your miss costing the team $500 M?

Why do they still call it a "penalty" when there were no penalties involved?

Does Huddersfield have to move to a larger stadium?

http://www.bardown.com/this-penalty-...gland-1.764680

So just how much is a promotion into the Premier League actually worth? According to Sky Sports, Huddersfield will see an increase in revenue of at least $293 million (£170 million), a figure that would potentially rise to $500 million (£290 million) if the team were to survive relegation in their first season in the top flight.

Huddersfield won't move to a larger stadium, which is pretty cool. I think that the stadium Bournemouth plays in holds about 11,000 people, which is pretty cool for the fans I would think!

Patrick Stewart is a big Huddersfield fan. I kind of hope they end up staying up, but it will be nearly impossible. I think its great that they made that deal with their fans on seasons tickets though and actually made it happen.
