Ignore the doom and gloom merchants, we could sign mbappe, gvardiol, Kovacic and Pele and they'd still moan. When has this club with the current structure in place ever let us down? They don't and that's why we are the best.

Pele definitely not a current Pep player, he'll never track back, he'll just stay in the box ;)

I don’t think just one player is coming in. But people who are saying city would be fine with just one incoming and that’s it are deluded.

Delusional is abit strong. Of course we would be fine with the current treble winning squad minus Gundo. What an achievement not 4 weeks ago!

City will sign who they deem acceptable both as a player and as financial sound investment. Just because we haven’t bought ten players already and have the media linking us to everyone does not mean we are not working away. Plus a lot of players are on their hols. Pep needs a break. You can’t go straight from the season we had without a break.

We have so far tried for 3 players. 1 is done, the other is going to Arsenal and the last one is currently under negotiations. Not sure what else you want the club to do presently. Also, city still have 2/3 who want to leave.
 
some of the usual flappers on here should have a little read of this :

"If you look at what we did in the last years, at the start of this project when we were here there was a need for a lot of changes and investment. Not anymore," he said.

"If you look at what we have done in the last five years, our level of investment in new players is well thought. We are not the top net spenders of the last year or the last three or five years because we have a platform where we know what to do and we can do it with time and intelligence

we are run by people who are considered the best people in their position in world football , our future is in very capable hands , add imo the greatest coach football has ever seen then patience is needed, and no amount of flapping and throwing the dummy out of the pram on here will change my thoughts.

some of the posts on here are nothing short of desperate,and without naming names we see the same people flapping or desperate for information, its quite sad to see.

Absolutely this.

And because of our management and how well we are run is why there are the attacks brought by UEFA and the PL- instigated by the the rags/dippers/gooners etc who don't like having to play second fiddle to us.

Bitter jealousy and entitlement is driving the agenda, but the club continues to drive their frustration and bitterness.

Show some confidence ffs and let the situation evolve.
 
Would LOVE to see 'the list' City have for potential incomings. Obviously they keep a very closed shop, but between minimal links and the odd suggestion on here, it FEELS like there are barely any players that would fit into our squad.

But then we all know Pep can elevate players to another level...

You'd think our list would simply be players that have the intelligence to understand Peps methods and likely potential to apply it.

Can't shake the feeling that we should be bringing in a fair few younger players to give them a year or two under Pep before he likely moves on - would be such a missed opportunity if not.

I would certainly consider myself to be closely described as have the same opinion as you. However the flip side of the argument is that it’s a forum for opinions. Everybody is entitled to them even if they’re wrong. I wonder if they could be corralled into their own thread titled “Toxic Flappers”. But then is that freedom or democracy? Should we vacate the space during the summer for the toxic flappers? But then why should we leave? This a metaphor for our times encapsulated in Tolmies “It’s Quiet” farewell tour thread.

That's exactly why I'd welcome the addition of a kid like Veiga, with an eye toward the future...

If Bernardo stays then somebody that can take their time, similar to Alvarez last year would perfect. Only if Bernardo goes maybe we will needs somebody a bit more ready to step in.
 
Dunno why we wouldn't think about an escape route from 4 CB as a requirement. 4 CB has been amazing but I find it quite likely it worked in part because it wrong footed opponents - we did it in the middle of the season.
Looking back at the meta of tactics, I find it moderately likely that we get to November and are starting to see opponents figure out the counter punch.
