We got shot of sergio for this kid ?

We didn't get shot of Sergio, technically, Kaz.

Pep explained a new number nine was being signed and he could stay, but his starting opportunities would be little.

An honest conversation but Sergio wasn't gonna stand for that and knew he could go to Barca and fill his boots.

The only thing Pep got badly wrong was keeping him in the dark for months and blowing hot and cold.

peps tears dont wash with me , he treated sergio badly , my question is more did we tell this kid we would get shot of sergio so he could come and be our no one striker ?

Karen, you've never met either of these men and have no idea what their relationship is like, so please spare us your judgement on whether Peps allowed to be upset over Aguero leaving or not.
 
I love our club and how we’re run but I wish just once we’d say fuck it and go big for somebody rather than walking. Especially when it’s something as major as replacing our best ever goalscorer.

It wouldn’t change our stance too much for future deals given we tend to go for release clauses, long games (Mahrez) or cheap deals (Torres) because of the selling club’s circumstances.

Chelsea will get Haaland this Summer if he’s available and it’s because they don’t give a fuck about a policy. They just pay what’s necessary.

On saying that, though, I’d be happy with Kane. Just not particularly happy if that meant Haaland going to a rival.
 
If the report is accurate Erling is indeed happy speaking to Chelsea/Tuchel, it would also suggest Erling hasn't made City his absolute priority.

That would be a shifting of his position from just a few months back.

It does however, indicate he is still for sale this summer.

Sadly, these are the type of deals Chelsea have form for getting over the line.

They leave their principles at the door.
Writing was on the wall when he went from 7/4 to 40/1 to join city last week
 
Read the last part of tolmies post and dont just jump in
I read the whole thing, you're still an idiot for thinking you know these 2 men and aren't just a spectator who sees 1% of their life and relationship.

They worked together for 5 years. Worked hard, we know both put a lot of effort into getting Aguero to fit Peps system and both won a lot of trophies together. It would be surprising if they weren't emotional when they go their separate ways, but Peps got a job and Aguero isn't fit enough to be the undisputed number 1 any more.
 
The transfer window hasn’t even opened yet. This doesn’t mean it has to drag on forever.

Also, if we can’t man up to fight freaking Chelsea (not Madrid or Barcelona at their peak...) for our main priority, might as well give up.

You don't have to die on this hill though, mate?

You are one of my favourite new posters on here, so don't need to teach you to suck eggs.

City do business a certain way and positively frown upon being played against other clubs.

It's why we always have our ducks in a row and know the landscape long before us plebs get to hear something isn't happening.

Chelsea just have a certain way of doing business which is very effective for them, just as sacking so many managers doesn't stop them winning trophies.

We tend to get the player and agent onside months beforehand.

We saw with Jorginho, however, that all the due diligence counts for nothing if the player cannot be trusted?

I get the impression City believe they can trust Kane more than Haaland in the current quiet.

I think the club would go out and get Haaland if Pep didn't want Kane instead.

He is a better playmaker and better suited to plug immediately into Pep's system and deliver everything he wants for a few years so he's the one Pep wants.

Its fair enough. Under a different manager we might go for Haaland.
