We need a statement signing, a signing that would elevate our profile and validate everything we have achieved over the past decade. Someone wanted by every top club in the world, hopefully it's Haaland next season.

That’s the spirit!Will be glad when this transfer window shuts, it’s been a complete shit show especially when you take into consideration we spent 100mil on a position we’re already stacked in and the lad isn’t world class (yet).
Our striking hopes now lie in the hands of an unproven 20 year old, if Pep even plays him!
Another meek title defence beckons. It appears that the execs have learnt nothing from previous windows after winning the title. Another meek title defence beckons.
By the way the window’s still open….
High time the club fought back, but again there is a reluctance, so it will continue.The irony is that journalists and Man Utd fans have flooded the media to complain about City buying players yet once again it is their club which is throwing money at their team.
can't see the repo man trying to get the keys off them, can you?
Again not the point. They have to pay the debt instalments which must impact on the club

Indeed.maybe the club don't want superstars, especially Pep.
I'm putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5.
Pep got wind of him coming and told the board he's gone at the end of his contract should they continue to sign him. Khaldoon knows he isn't bluffing and pulls it.
As a positive he joins the scum ans even PiGMOL can't help them without making it look too obvious as the other egos start knocking down the chief execs door demanding pay rises or downing tools.

I don't not believe that at all. Why would City pull out? The only reason is that there was a perceived sense of coolness on R 's part or something from His side that just smelt fishy . Simple as .No, they are doing the opposite mate. They are saying we were ronaldo's preferred destination even when he knew if United's interest, he wanted to come to us but we were the ones who decided to pull the deal as our recruitment team don't think he's right for us.
I don’t think they have are above us but they know how to get results where we still struggle. They will be a lot more clinical too. I would be more confident if we didn’t need 30 shots to score 1 goal.I'd say joint favourites at best (maybe 2nd). They've improved under Tuchel without a doubt and Lukaku is a definite plus for them but the people who think they've surpassed us overnight are just bedwetters.

I genuinely would not be surprised if this is a big reason why we hesitated.

Who gives a flying fuck about what that hypocrite spouts off? The guy lost any credibility when he moaned about high spending clubs, then went on to record spend.Klopp said that whoever bought CR was "short-term thinking" or words to that effect... I agree and now his criticism is at Manure's door and not ours....
He's a wanker, 1st class.

Porto to Lisbon, Lisbon to Faro then Faro to Manchester with a load of ex-Shameless extras posing as holiday makers by the look of them ;-)Totally agree mate, it was probs an over the top reaction by me and some others,, but if we would of sacked him straight after it by fuck I would od cheers that,, lol,, I actually still can't believe he did it
And now I'm out... I'm depressed enough

So is he going in as manager at the rags or what?
Hahaha fuck all chance of that with our negotiating.We need a statement signing, a signing that would elevate our profile and validate everything we have achieved over the past decade. Someone wanted by every top club in the world, hopefully it's Haaland next season.
The club, not sure about Pep.You don't think we tried to get kane Ronaldo and Messi?
Pep and Messi are like father and son, Messi is not a superstar to Pep, one of his own
not too often probably, haha. just one moment i vividly remember from back then. there were plenty others involving Yaya, Silva, Dzeko, Mario, Sergio of course. and that was fun! somehow, I don't feel the same satisfaction when City scores these days. doesn't feel as straight to the point and deadly.Haha! How often did Micah bomb down the line to deliver to our forwards?

Who is the unproven 20 year old of which you speak?Will be glad when this transfer window shuts, it’s been a complete shit show especially when you take into consideration we spent 100mil on a position we’re already stacked in and the lad isn’t world class (yet).

In the history of the sport, no club has ever bought a world class striker in his prime at a "negotiated price". Yet we somehow believed that it would happen. I'm not angry that we didn't sign Kane, I'm angry that we somehow believed that the rules of football transfers don't apply to us. If you want Kane, pay the 150- 200 mil and if that's too much, then don't waste two months hoping the impossible will happen.I am not saying Tixki out.
But the manager clearly wanted Kane, so why did we not back his wish?
Levy set a price, is the issue Tixki does not think Kane is value or thinks Pep is wrong?
We always have alternative's when looking for a player, yet in this case, we did not, why?
We walk into a michelin 3 star restaurant and leave with a bottle of water because the food was too expensive. What did we expect the price to be?
