1. It feels like success in football is becoming less and less about the players on the pitch and more about the lawyers behind the scenes and the loopholes they exploit.

2. Bollocks, the circus continues, buying players from clubs they own 🤡

3. 116

4. All rise for Chelsea’s National Anthem: Give us S-a-vin-o

5. Watch him be sold for double the price in two years time after zero playtime

6. Nothing dodgy about Troyes making a club record signing just to loan him out twice and sell for profit

7. ⚽️ ⚰️

8. Didn’t the whole, Utd-Nice thing not happen because of shared ownership?

   Is this different?

9. Commentary about this being dodgy aside – Savio just isn’t that good. Watching him play for Brazil during copa America has been laughable.

   All he does is receive the ball on the wing, try to cut to his left foot, it’s predictable so the defender keeps him contained, and he passes it backward.

   Perfect winger for Pep.

10. Man City doing transparently fucked things?

    Nothing new here.

11. I hear the negotiations were very difficult

12. Wonder if that’s 116?

13. I assume the player will be seized and sold off after city found guilty.

14. Doesn’t matter. Pep’s leaving.

15. 116.

16. The feel bad shit storm of the summer.

17. The city group signed him years ago. So are they really signing him or just changing the letter heads in another dubious ffp manoeuvre
