Would love him back, even if it was just for the rest of the season.
Rather have edin back and still annoyed pellers let him go

You and me both!There's something I don't like about Giezmann (aside from his complete lack of taste in fancy dress).
He's another one, like Sanchez, who I just don't fancy.
I'd like more Sané/Jesus sort of stuff.

I think Pep and Khaldoon believe they need a player who is under 25 if they are going to spend real money and give a 5 year deal. That allows some sell on at 29, if needed, or an extension at 28.5 if the player has shown desire, ability, and a good record of being available to play when needed.
We are not onl6 building a world class project at the first team level and Academy, but trying to attract world class personalities that will mesh with the kind of team spirit Pep wants. In addition, Pep is ruthless. You don’t cross him and live to tell about it. People think Fergie was a ruthless dictator, and he showed his temper regularly, but I think Pep is the proverbial iron hand in the velvet glove. He doesn’t give second chances to people who diss him and, if Sanchez has waivered from the deal they clearly had, that’s Sánchez done, over, finito, dead to him. Coincidentally, I think Khaldoon and our owner are EXACTLY the same way! They pays their money, they makes their choice.
City are not fucking around. If this plays out the way it looks like it is going to, with Sanchez going somewhere else, City’s actions and comments will have put every other player who wants to even try to fuck them about on notice: “We are City...don’t fuck with us.”
I love what irks you...and I don’t mean that personally.Don't you think there's also a risk players and greedy agents will think we don't pay enough if somebody is absolutely top drawer, so we'll never be able to get the Neymars, Mbappes, Sanchez, Lewandowski, etc because rags or Chelsea will bend over for the agent? Which although means in principle we may be doing the right thing, but in reality it's detrimental to our success because rivals know we'll baulk when it gets to big boys money. This is the only thing that irks me about how we're run.
