Assessment of our business this summer | Poll Added

[Phil1]

OK that’s your opinion, your entitled to it but so are others if we disagree.
I was gutted when Palmer left, I had high hopes for him and to see him shine at Chelsea has been disappointing

I understand that and accept that’s your opinion of him.
Time will tell. He’s been one of their few bright spots this season so right now it could be looked at as though we dropped a bollock. I’m not in that camp though.

Hindsight is a wonderful think with transfers, the only issue was not addressing the missing goals/assists of Gundo and Mahrez.

Their contribution in those was huge, Kovacic, Nunes score and create little and that has come back to hit us.

Losing Paquetta through no fault of our own was a huge blow, especially with Bellingham choosing Madrid.

And giving Walker that huge contract at his age wreaked of Panic, very unusual for us.

I think Walker being convinced to stay because his leadership and mood boster capability in locker room. Losing him after losing Gundo will be another huge blow to senior leadership structure in City.

Maybe some people didn't care for it but for Pep and management his attributes is important for maintaining team morale.

Letting a top Quality club trained potential superstar leave on the cheap

..............to a rival club is either arrogant or rather amateurish,

I changed my Steam account name to "Palmer", last summer.
Then he left...

Totally agree with that and it's very understandable but the length of the contract if true was far too long.

In saying that the Saudi rumours have started , maybe it may suit both parties to move on this summer?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Yes improved us - or at least not set us back (granted not by much) - you know, as in the point of transfers. OK we had to replace an extremely important player - but came nowhere near that.

So no - not improved us.

And don’t forgetting bidding £90 mill for Rice and then walking away when he was effectively the most needed with Phillips flopping and Rodri looking more knackered than ever

Then we need to replace him with someone equal of his leadership capability and senior experience like Kimmich or someone else availaible on the market.

Not replacing that kind qualities will not be very wise in term of senior leadership structure in our team.

Are we still talking about Palmer here?

And don’t forgetting bidding £90 mill for Rice and then walking away when he was effectively the most needed with Phillips flopping and Rodri looking more knackered than ever

ffs, how is this still going. We walked away because he told us he was going to Arsenal. Why would City keep bidding for someone who isn't joining.
