No idea. I think it’s normal though to think a team has approached the club with a deal then it’s put to pep. Who on this occasion would say ‘bollox to that’

Castles is a twat of the highest order but has a good record when it comes to city transfersHe said Dias was the alternative to Koulibaly before anyone.
First to link in the british media to Torres as well
I think he called Ake as well in his podcast saying he wasnt going to united but City instead
Wow that’s a depressing post. How does anyone look at Rodri and ever think he is the answer.
Rodri is not the problem

Castles is a twunt but he's well informed on certain matters.

People talk about the 6 position as if pep doesn't have options. He has nailed his colours to the Rodri mast. Txiki could go and buy Ndidi, Kante, Douglas Luiz, and Thomas Partey and Pep would still play Gundo and Rodri.
which is why we won't get anywhere again this year.

What's with everybody's obsession with Usain Bolt being our DM now? I'm just going to copy and paste what I posted in the Rodri thread since it's relevant:
Ahh so it appears we have annointed a new scapegoat ahead of this season and it’s Rodri now.
Anybody clamoring for Dinho just happened to forgot that any good pressing team will just turn our team to mush. Remember against Liverpool when the team couldn’t even get past the halfway line before turning the ball over? Fun times.
We need a more press-resistant DM and Rodri is one of the best in the business. Yes we miss Dinho’s dynamism in the PL, but in Europe we’re resting our hope on Rodri if we ever want to go far. All the teams in Europe don’t sit back and will take us on and press us.
I think Pep’s take on this is that it’s much more likely for Rodri to become more Dinho-like by improving his positioning and anticipation, rather than having a more dynamic player like Dinho and hoping him to become more press resistant like Rodri.
Rodri is not a complete player yet but this is his 2nd season, and he’s still 24 years old. At 24 years old Fernandinho was in his 2nd season in the Ukrainian league. If we’re waiting for Rodri to become a complete player before we buy him, I’m sorry to say but 100M won’t be enough to buy him.
If Pep wanted someone like Dinho he would’ve just bought Partey from Atletico that had a cheaper release clause than Rodri. But the fact is we’re veering away from that direction in terms of the type of DM that we want in our team.

The Jesus bit sounds nonsense, if we wanted to sell him, there would be a few teams trying for him. Don’t think we’ve ever wanted to sell him.
Indeed. If we had wanted to sell him, we would have almost certainly loaned him to an Italian club.
Nonsense, either way. He has absolutely earned his right to be here.

This is the first deadline day in ages where I feel something might still happen. Usually by now we get that feeling that we're done and the club will usually confirm that, but with a couple of areas still to strengthen who knows. I'm sure we'll know after tomorrow's game.

My initial posr was taking the piss out of the style of your posting...But it’s you that’s missing the point. You would be correct if I said that every player wont be signing but that clearly isn’t the case. As I have already pointed out, apart from Bony every player I have said would not be a City player has not become a City player. Ego has nothing to do with it. You initiated this dialogue by talking crap and you have continued it by talking crap. Regarding transfers I have simply made a statement which has consistently been borne out, period. Not difficult to understand is it? In this particular window I have recently said that there will be no more business, quite obvious to most really, and very early on I said Koulibaly wouldn’t be coming. That’s it, both correct. I have made no comments on any other links so your broken clock analogy is a crock of shit. Plus I can’t recall saying I told you so on any of them, i don’t need to.
You make statements as if you know.....you dont...like i said a stopped cloxk is right twce a day. ..because even something that is fucked can be right for a split second.... You just post negative comments about what isnt happening.....
When have you ever said somone will come just out of interest?

Similar problems. Doesn't work in this variant of a Pep side and isn't a patch on his pre-injury self.Blimey,im intrigued as to your opinion of Gundogan then? Division 1 level??

You mean Alexis Sanchez might sign for us this time .....:)

His opinion on everyone is that they're shit unless they were bought pre-Guardiola.
Also, the squad is shit, Pep is shit and we're going to have a shit season.

Nope, nope and yes, because Pep has built a squad that can't play how we need to play to have the success of 17/18 and 18/19, and the way Pep envisages us playing with this squad isn't as successful, as last year proved.
