Just looked now, a few players get a injury and some are known to get injured, then we might have to start games with half an academy side depth is a worry

It's highly unlikely that Cucurellas agent was stringing along City to get Chelsea to buy him. The lad wants a move, he wanted us but we pulled back so now Chelsea have stumped up the asking fee. Nothing underhand or unusual about that.According to who?
How do we know his agent hasn’t had this in his pocket all along, hence city refusing to get lured in?
We don’t.
Trust the club.
It's been clear from day one. City put 50m on the table and he will join. City decided not to, I've got no issue at all with that. Im not arsed if we get a LB or not.

Yeah.Seriously lol?
If people are a bit pessimistic about the season, we're more likely to have success :) It's how it works.
After 16/17, many didn't believe Pep would be a big success in England. In 20/21, after the first 7-8 games, many were thinking Pep's finished (here). There were many bullshit posts in Pep's thread after that draw with WBA in December 2020. What happened after the draw? 21 consecutive wins, that's what happened, plus the title and the league cup.
In 21/22, after we failed to sign a striker, many predicted a poor season. What did happen, though? Best attack in Europe and the title, that's what happened.
Generally, fans are not good at predicting the future, let's be honest here. We expect to struggle in defence because we don't have a specialist at LB (and Laporte is not that good), and then we finish the season with the best defensive record in spite of a defensive crisis. We expect to struggle in attack, and we finish the season with the best goal tally in the world.
The amazing part is many don't learn from their rubbish predictions and worries. Or they learn from them and continue to make them on purpose: to not jinx things?
Anyway: you don't know the future and overestimate your ability to predict it. Calm down and trust in the club. Many fans would kill to watch KDB, Haaland, Foden, Rodri, Bernie, Grealish, Alvarez...in their team with Pep as manager. Our fans are very lucky these days.

FFP finished in June and was replaced by a more lenient version called Financial Sustainability Regulations (FSR)Baffling but can think of two reasons
So are we having trouble with ffp?
Or
We are saving for signing wingers and midfielders next summer. With sterling gone and Bernardo and gundo leaving?
