No it's not a fair question, it's completely idiotic. We all know what he's doing.
Oh and you could identify them as good players, congratu-fucking-lations! Why don't you go off an be DoF somewhere, you might work out that identifying the players is about 5% of the job.
Just to let you know, we have strengthened the GK position this summer not 2 years back. CB is still a concern. I don't recall any good CM that has been bought prior to Guardiola's arrival. And talking about ST, which striker did we buy exactly before Guardiola arrived? And if that area has indeed been solved, then why are we chasing after strikers this window?
Identifying them as good full backs and signing them are two different things. They were our first choice options so if we get them both then I'd say it's been a job well done.
Go back and read it. It wasn't worth the outrageYou made a statement that was complete and utter bollocks, decrying our transfer strategy despite being miles ahead of our rivals.
Well I wouldn't say it would be that difficult to convince a player to come to city. Maybe the conversation goes like this:
We have one of the most respected managers in the game to learn from and your gonna get loads more money. Plus we can afford to pay your clubs over inflated valuation.
Ok great where do I sign.
His record on identifying players is patchy at best.

You said we there was no point replacing fullbacks before Guardiola arrived as we had other areas to strengthen. Most of the positions you mentioned has been or are going to be strengthened now. So thats what I believe Marvin is trying to say that why were the fullback positions not strengthened before?Sorry, but what are you talking about? I'm talking about last summer. GK, Bravo, CB, Stones, CM, Gundogan, Striker, Jesus.
These are the areas of the pitch Pep wanted to strengthen last summer first, before the fullbacks.
Sleep on it."Not impressed that we got to pre-season and need 3 full backs or even 4. That should not happen if Txiki is doing his job"
Nope, that deserved being pulled up because it's a load of shite!
You're right he's done nothing Tkxci's out.Quite a lot of city fans wondering what we are doing regarding full backs if you read the forums. So far we haven't actually signed any. Tkxci's record isn't great over the last few years is it? So fair point to question what he has been up to thus far.
Walker and mendy would be great if they actually sign. But I could have identified them as good fullbacks. It would be good to see us sign an up and coming player as cover for them or maybe give maffeo an opportunity?

No I don't think it is to be fair. Fullbacks are hugely important to our system, we've known for 2-3 seasons they needed upgrading and they still haven't been. How is Marvins point shite?"Not impressed that we got to pre-season and need 3 full backs or even 4. That should not happen if Txiki is doing his job"

Oi !!! Where's my £20?!He's bookies favourite
We're the only club in the world with a great manager? No
Are we the only club in the world who pays our players what we do? No
Have we won fuck all of note in the last 3 years? No.
Have we had any European success? No.
We were a club you grew up fantasising about playing? No.
Perhaps if we were competing with Stoke for players then you'd be right, but we're not, it's Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich, the rags and PSG.

Maybe when it comes to Mbappe and Sanchez we are competing against those clubs - hence why I think it's unlikely to happen.
But those top clubs aren't in for Walker.
Can we fuck domalino and marvin off this thread please mods?
Or at least advise them both to take their love-in to pm's, it's tedious, to say the least.
Oh so we only had convince daniel fucking levy to sell one of his best players, the best RB in the league last summer. I'm sure that was piss easy.
Fuck me I thought I was old. Records ?Anyone know how to fix a broken record player.....
