If they had just invested that kind of money in an S&P 500 fund then they would be sat on 10s of millions now. But no they wanted the thrill of high risk investments so tough. A fool and his money are easily parted.
I think he'll stick with Trafford for this one seeing as it is right after the international break but I agree that this is the team going forwards. It can covert to a three at the back allowing Ait Nouri to push on and Marmoush to move inside where he's at his best.
No one else was in the running because we tied him down. Reports of him agreeing personal terms weeks ago. If we hadn't there would have been clubs all over Europe ready to pounce including our neighbours.
The spine of our outfield who won Pep's first 2 titles was already here. Otamendi, Kompany, Fernandinho, Silva, De Bruyne and Aguero. Also Sterling and Delph.
Far too early to judge him but he's only done it in Portugal. What works in Portugal will not work here. Can he adapt? It's got to the point where I've gone from trusting every decision the club makes to questioning every decision the club makes.
Aguero was the best striker in the league as soon as he arrived. Silva took about half a season to establish himself as the best attacking midfielder in the league.
