G STAR RAM Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 On 26/01/2018 at 17:36, Bris Vegas said: John Stones was the record for a British player. He wasn't the outright record for a defender though, that was David Luiz who moved to PSG. If you take inflation into account, Rio Ferdinand was more expensive back in 2001. Juan Sebastian Veron at £30m was another massive fee from United back in 2001. Ederson isn't technically the most expensive goalkeeper, that would be Gigi Buffon again back in 2001 or something like that. But for a British club yeah Ederson is the most expensive (though at 23 he's worth it). I'd imagine that will get dwarfed soon when one of the big clubs pays Jan Oblak's £80m release clause. Who are the four of the six highest fees for a defender? I've heard this stat before but I can only think of Mendy, Walker and Stones? While City have spent big, no doubt about that, they've done it by buying players who are early 20s and have the best part of eight years ahead of them. All these fees will be eclipsed in the next two seasons. When you think about it, they've generally spent well during Pep's reign. They'd make a profit on most of their players should they sell them now with the exception of Bravo. He certainly spends very well indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hope Sane is OK. Been brilliant this season. Cardiff City away was always going to be a testing game. Not because of the quality of the opposition, but because of their physicality. Typical Warnock side. Leaving their boot in when they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 From the first whistle cardiff were leaving the boot in... all over the pitch, you could see they were told to do it by Warnock.. filthy sod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Just heard warnock blaiming Sane for being too quick, when talking about Bennetts tackle which was more akin to a Streetfighter/Mortal Kombat style kick His "sliding tackle" saw him slide through the air at shin height!!!!

Bris Vegas Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Sane has suffered ligament damage. Could be out for over a month. It was a disgraceful challenge. No attempt to play the ball and his only intent was to wipe out the player. Should have been a red card all day long and such thugish tactics should be heavily punished. The player said he didn't mean to do it. What exactly was he trying to achieve if it wasn't to hurt Sane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying a sprained ankle which is nothing in terms of football injuries, when you see the still shots lucky he's not on crutches. probably got away with it as it didn't look outrageously high/late in real time, seen much worse and that's not to defend him. Given the injury and he's not on crutches I'm going to guess that there was no intention of hurting Sane, but to simply take him out, trip him. Any amount of real I'm going to hurt this guy force and it's broken bones out for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit naive of you David if you didnt think that wasn't a calculated challenge to hurt him He's of the ground not even looking at the ball straight red all day It shouldn't have happened because he should have had a red in the first half Bennett is a very good player but always has a bad tackle in his locker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of us can sit here and say 100% for sure what went through Bennett's mind, but as I say, any real force with that tackle and he's in surgery with broken bones. Yes it was deliberate, his eyes tell you that, but trip, tangle of legs, take him down and slow the attack. Similar to what Johnny Russell thought was needed although he went for the classic bear hug at Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tackle on Diaz in the 90th minute on a yellow card with the game dead shows you all you needed to know about what he was up to that game. He was out to hurt anyone who was showing him up.

Not saying Warnock didn't send them out to leave a boot in, disrupt their flow but to say a player went out with the intention of hurting other players, I just don't see it.
