I'm with you on De Rossi, didnt want to come, simple as.
If it's true that he had to sell for RVP, fair enough. But we played 2 up top at the time and did need 4. We lost Tevez, didn't replace like with like in terms of quality(Jovetic).

as others have said what did you do when we were actually shit ? you can't have been a city fan for very long.
Can't believe people still bang on about Van Persie. He was a shit signing for the rags, had 6 great months that won them the title, but then spent the rest of his time their being an old waste of money. He was pretty much their Negredo, except a shit load more expensive and without being able to sell him for a profit like we somehow managed.
Yes we were,mp took us back in the league last season in particular,pep needs younger players in key positions then we will challenge once moreI'm also fairly certain we're the most successful English club in those 5 years. With total trophies, finals and winning games.
Again. Bellend.
I was presuming it was a David Bowie reference.'... than't all we got' - that sounds very entitled
As football fans, we are entitled to one thing. Effort. That is it. The rest is a bonus
Could/Should we have won more? Maybe, maybe not. There are some other very good teams competing for the same trophies
The Wigan cup final obviously stands out. Maybe we should have retained the league after each season we won it but that is very difficult and we were a 'good second' in each of those years. Last seasons' FA Cup and this year the League Cup have been thrown away, but there is not guarantee we would have won either
I'm a big believer that you get what you deserve in football(blatantly wrong refereeing decisions not withstanding). And we just haven't been good enough over the last few season to challenge for the league. There have been some bad buys and areas of the squad have been neglected but there are plenty of threads on those issues
I would suggest everybody goes to the games, enjoys themselves and then see what happens. We were here 10 years ago and we will be here in another 10. I think it is safe to say we will win/compete for more leagues and cups in the next 10 that we did in the previous 10years
I don't think we'd have won the title with him anyway, we already had Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko and Balotelli, our problem clearly wasn't lack of quality strikers. The only positive probably would have been Mancini wouldn't have been moaning about not getting him all season. We massively underperformed that year, our problem wasn't he quality of the squadIt's a very valid point. But you have to wonder at board level how much value the title win offsets against the waste of wages after that. We'll never know. But I'd have gladly wasted it if it meant that c**t didnt go out with a title.
thats never going to happen again, with the amount of money other clubs spend. how is winning a cup glossing over a bad year ?
Winning cups is glossing over a bad year?? fuck me what a load of self entitled bollocks, beginning to sound like Arsenal fans some people.
As for domination, do you all just expect everyone else to just roll over? this isn't like when the rags were winning everything, they could just go and outspend everyone else and stock the squad with top class players and have a world class bench whilst everyone else looked on in envy. Now everyone can match us in spending if they choose to do so.
No one will dominate the game again, want domination go support Bayern or Celtic.
This year has been a transitional year, next year you'll hopefully see the rewards, still doesn't mean we'll win anything though.
