Every time he opens his mouth, I despise him (and the murderous, head-chopping, hypocritical scum that employ him) more.

The idea that it was Neymar's transfer to PSG that kicked off the maelstrom that is today's transfer market is laughable at best. The fact that Man Shithole had been warping the market with their spending for years before seems to have escaped the smarmy prick.

I would be willing to bet money that this is nothing more than Al-Nahyan getting a kick in for his side in the UAE-Qatar diplomatic war that's been going on since the mid-90s (and probably from their tribal periods too). PSG are Qatari owned, just in case there's anyone who doesn't know.

And Fraudiola is Al-Nahyan's lickspittle mouthpiece for it. He makes a massive show of how he's so politically right-on with the yellow ribbon he wears in 'solidarity' with jailed Catalan independence activists. And yet he works for a regime that routinely, legislatively and judicially discriminates against political activists. Oh, and gays. And women. And other races (even though the regime is in fact a minority ethnicity - how's that for repellent irony?). It engages in torture, extrajudicial murder, disappearances, forced labour and the suppression of basic human rights.

This is just another thread in Al-Nahyan's attempts to sportswash his disgusting regime. I wish, I wish, I had the power to kick him out of football permanently. Total ****

Man City are the ones who have turned the transfer market into a farce. And I'm going to say it, they are a primary reason why we have found signings challenging too. Our status as up-and-comers puts us in the position of not wanting to buy your average or pretty good player, because they won't add to the squad. But our smaller finances means we can't buy the elite players either because the Man Citys (and Barcelonas and Chelseas and Real Madrids and PSGs) have priced them out of our reach. It's cartel mechanics at work. But Man City are the worst of them all.

As far as I'm concerned, Manchester Shithole are a stain on the face of the planet, not just football, and if there was any justice they would be banned from all competitions until their owners f***** off back to the pit they oozed out of, never to return.

The depths to which I despise that club and their smug, sack of shit manager is so huge that I'd do anything, even wear an Arsenal shirt for the rest of my life, if it meant Man City would cease to exist.

And, by God yes, I'm triggered!

This article would have been prefect if it had been Pochettino, talking about Frenkie De Jong, not Pep.

Incidentally, crap article by the Beeb; doesn't give the full context and extent of City's spending over the last 8 years

Watch Pep go coach Qatar for the WC now...

If it means he fucks off out of the premier league then I’d be a happy man. I cannot stand him, he’s one of the biggest hypocrites going.

How he can bleat and whine about not having money when he and his club have had the financial might of an entire nation shovelled into them is beyond satire.

He should go and manage a Championship club and see how far he can take them. Then we'll see how good he is as a manager

Frenkie de jong at 21 is going to be earning 300k a week and cost 65m. How the fuck do we compete with that. No wonder alder and erisken aren't signing those meager 150k a week deals

What makes it all the more galling is the TV pundits either can't see the hypocrisy or don't want to see.
They will go on their merry way spouting their ill informed and badly researched if researched at all nonsense.
Except for Souness all other pundits have failed in management or did not have the guts to try at Henry had a go albeit dismally
