Can't believe anyone in their right mind would be critical of Txiki in this window.
The Sterling deal alone is an absolute masterstroke. There was zero chance of us getting Sterling a year ago. Somehow he has been moved from unsellable to sold, & it's City who've got him. Somehow we managed to be the only club involved for Delph, when pretty much everybody would have taken him at that price. No idea how he swung that. Now it looks like we've managed to get the inside track on DeBruyne, pretty much unopposed, when most clubs would love to have him.
I'm disappointed we aren't giving Denayer a chance, but again, Txiki seems to have locked down Otamendi when he would surely be an absolute priority for Utd or Chelsea if they could get a sniff of him. He also seemed to somehow get Pedro on hold until DeBruyne was looking sorted.
Pogba seems to have been fouled up by 3rd party interests but the way the other deals have gone, it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at City as well, at some point.
It's been amazing. Sterling alone would have done for me, huge influence on our capabilities, as Sunday showed.
