The 2025 Rebuild of City Squad

[Stoned Rose]

Selling Alvarez was a huge mistake

Not replacing the kid was.

Not replacing the kid was.

Bingo. We were using him a mid and he was poor but knew where the goal was.

80mil for him and putting it in the bank was stupid

 

[svennis pennis]

Let’s have a proper look in the academy as well. Might save us a few hundred million.

I can only conclude it was to make the books look the part mate.

Not gonna happen mate as pep won’t entertain it

I reckon Julian pushed for it also.

 

[bell_mcfc]

I reckon Julian pushed for it also.

Understandably. He was clearly second choice and to be integrated he was played out of position. No one can fault selling him not like we didn’t get good money.

Not replacing him though.

I’m sure Bobb would have been used a lot this year saying that but still bad planning.

 

[ScottSinclair]

I reckon Julian pushed for it also.

Yeah but not replacing him was absurd. Can only think Pep had an epiphany with Bobb that turned out awfully with his injuries.

Almost like the recruitment meetings the last few years has just been them sitting around laughing and wanting to experiment how barebones we can make this squad before Pep will fail to walk the league.

I'd rather we looked at my 5 a side team.

The Alvarez money was saved to pay Pannick

Pep didn't rate the Japanese player we meant to be after and face it you will struggle to get an extra striker in who would be willing to accept a rotational role.

How do you know he didn’t rate him?

 

[RayCTID]

How do you know he didn’t rate him?

We didn't make any move for him the first time.

 

[vincent]

We didn't make any move for him the first time.

Right. So you don’t know, you are just making assumptions and talking as though it’s a fact. He may have rated him (and many others players), but decided a false 9 or the emergence of Bobb would mean we are covered.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Selling Alvarez was a huge mistake

And not replacing him, ridiculously shit planning

 

[wattle]

And not replacing him, ridiculously shit planning

You really are actually loving this aren't you? You're fucking miserable when we're winning trebles so you must be on cloud nine now

Didn't make a move I did read on here Pep apparantely didn't exactly rate him when were linked at the end of last Summer's transfer window.

Its a good job Pep is the chair of those meetings then isnt it. Maybe he got bored of winning and wanted an actual challenge.
