I so so LOVE that design, I rarely make absolute statements, but it is the best looking overall design for a football stadium i have ever seen to date

the details are amazing

and the inter arching brickwork combined with the Brutalist concrete is genius

plus the neo-Art Nouveau iron work

the colourways are superb too

It is a beautiful design. Love the inter arching brickwork as well., and of course the tall corridors going around the stadium. Almost like a spectacular shrine of some sort.

Looks like Hogwarts from Harry Potter, pretty sweet but will take a long time before this happens.

he will never come here (he whinges how rainy and cold PARIS IS) and he would destroy our budget, even if we got him for say £150m, his salary demands will fuck us for the next 5 years

he will demand £200-250m or so for 5 years

we cannot afford a 5 year £350m to £400m total amortised spend

FFP would crush us in all other areas

 

to get to that level of revenue

we need 

If we don't start this project by March 31st it's not going to happen

Leicester City transfer news: Brendan Rodgers wants to sign Turkey international Merih Demiral from Juventus in January

https://talksport.com/football/644092/leicester-city-transfer-news-brendan-rodgers-merih-demiral-juventus/

Leicester City are looking to sign Merih Demiral from Juventus in January.

The defender is out of favour at the Serie A club and talkSPORT understands the high-flying Foxes are poised to move for the 21-year-old when the transfer window reopens.

Leicester boast the best defence in the Premier League this season having conceded only 11 goals from their 17 games, with Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu forming a formidable centre-back pairing.

But Brendan Rodgers – having lost Harry Maguire to Manchester United in the summer – is keen to add another central defender to his squad and has set his sights on Demiral, who plays alongside Soyuncu for Turkey.

The youngster only joined Juve in July for a fee of around €18million from Sassuolo, signing a five-year contract.

But he has barely featured for the club, making just two appearances, and is open to the prospect of leaving in January.

And Leicester, currently sitting second in the Premier League, could tempt Juve into selling by offering them a quick return on their investment.

I don't think Juve is willing to sell him right now, they rate him very highly and also the natural replacement for Chiellini.

As would I. He hasnt played for City as regularly as he would have wanted but he has tenacity and really good instincts in the box. He is quite resillient as well for a smaller player. City would never sell him to us though.

I read that Lautaro would replace Aguero at the end of the season, if they can sign him.

I get why you say that but I hope the board don't think like this. City are doing as Liverpool have done. Identify the best talent and get them. That's what we should be doing imo. Not looking to see who will be on the scrap heap once city sign the next super star. Let's aim high

I don't believe Jesus is in the top quality bracket. I'm on record as having said I don't believe he will succeed Aguero when the Argentine leaves. I think City will be looking for a better alternative.

Would you say the same about Cesc or Makelele back in the day? Great teams sell great players at some point too. Gabriel Jesus has got huge potential, hes only 22 and has scored 55 goals for City in 120 games where he has been in and out of the team. Not bad for someone who had never played in Europe prior to that move. Also has 18 goals in 39 games for Brazil. Very good strikerate at international level. He just needs to play every week, hes shown he is capable at City but Aguero is Aguero and Pep rarely plays 2 CFs so he can get 3 men in MF.
