We basically scored the same goal 3 times on Saturday. Norwich were beyond poor.

I’m deffo not doubting our team but Norwich isn’t a real reflection imo

Fully agree but you can only beat what's in front of you..

They gave the dippers a game for half an hour, had 14 shots at goal, had more passes and more possession than bingo's team..

Against us they never got out of their half for most of the game and I can only recall 1 long range shot that went way over the bar and Eddie doing his superman impression and clearing a trough ball with a diving header, probably showing off for the cameras..

Anyone finishing above us will win the league in my opinion..

We're not the big draw for players that some people on here seem to have convinced themselves.
Top 'elite' players will only come to Manchester City for one or both of two reasons...
1. To play under Pep Guardiola
2. Money
When Pep goes, it's 100% down to the money. If we want to keep playing with the big boys, we'll have to start throwing big money around soon or we may find ourselves doing without CL football in a couple of years time.

We’ve qualified every year since 2010/11 and won 2 of our 5 PL titles before he arrived. I think we will be ok...

Why do we have to explain ourselves fucking 100 times that we didn't pay 100M for grealish then? Whatever you say we care what other think.

You know which people go over the top claiming their innocence.
The guilty ones'.

Pep never had to deal with this smear campaigns in his previous clubs.
Barcelona was in peak of their powers and had everyone in UEFA under their thumb.
With Bayern, the entire league was up on their fours wagging their tails when Bayern wanted a player.

City!
Well City is different Josep Guardiola

again, what demands? It’s widely reported we never spoke to Levy. There were no demands. Levy simply refused to negotiate. Our valuation didn’t come into it if you believe all the stories that came from reliable sources this past week.

No one knows truly knows what went on behind the scenes, there’s been so many briefings and articles about what’s going on with Kane deal. Some were saying Spurs would take £150m and City would only go up to £125m, that to me seems about right seeing as we had a £100m bid rejected a few weeks ago. Levy refusing to negotiate with City may have been because City were unwilling to meet his price.

No one asked him.. he went on explaining multiple times the numbers in grealish transfer.

And it’s wrong. We paid 100 million. Pep should have just owned it. saying we sold 20 youth players or whatever to offset it is like saying Chelsea paid for Liverpool’s transfer of Andy carroll when they bought Torres. It’s dumbfounding.

Own it. United don’t hide from their infamous “statement of intent” signing fees. Real, Barca and PSG flaunt them. We don’t have to be that, but nobody is buying faux humility.

Why would we speak to Levy?

Is that not what he pays Paratici for?

I think we are a big draw for players, as long as we paid the same money as the other big clubs do. We can’t match what Barca and Real pay their players. I’m convinced Haaland would be a City player this summer if we didn’t give a fuck about our wage structure.

As I suggest... Money talks, bullshit walks.

If we want to play with the big boys, we have to play by their rules. Khaldoon and Co need to realise that being financially stable and successful off the pitch won't count for much if we're competing with the likes of Arsenal for a Europa Cup place.

What was the reasons Aguero, Toure, Silva etc signed for the club? We had no problem signing top players before Pep, and we won't have a problem once he's gone.

We’ve spent fucking millions over the past few years! Talk about having no self awareness.

Them millions have lead us to and endless amount of trophies and I can guarantee that won’t be stopping any time soon. We’re a fantastically run club.

And being financially unstable fucks the club completely. The current model has delivered the best football and more trophies than we’ve ever seen. Thank fuck Khaldoon and Co are in charge and not some bed wetting hysterics on an Internet forum.
 
It’s disappointing we didn’t get pep a striker in this window, truly surprised we didn’t offer up 90 mill for haaland

What are you talking about, according to most posters on this forum Txiki & Omar are gods amongst men that has turned water in to wine with basically no resources. They have played Levy this whole summer fooling him we would buy Kane and now when we pulled out he is stuck with him for 3 more years, what a tool! We dont need to replace Aguero, Pep can just teach someone else how to be a world class striker.. We played well when KDB was out for 2 months last season, which prove he is not needed as well! The main problem is that our squad is too talented (thanks to our transfer geniuses Txiki & Omar). We dont need reinforcements our main focus should be offloading more players, if you think differently you must be a rag.
