Our midfield recruitment has been abysmal.

Phillips - 50 million
Nunes - 62 million
Gundo - on a free
Gonzalez - 50 million still young

The planning for the future of our midfield when Gundo is done and Kev has left is appalling.

Now we want to replace Kev with Gibbs bludy White. English midfielder that is a level below to what our midfield is normally.

Gibbs White is a good player. But to replace a legend and the best midfielder to ever play in the prem is ludicrous.

When Liverpool are signing world beaters we are signing average and mediocre.

MGW is not replacing KDB and do you think that Reijnders is mediocre?

Swear our players get dearer everyday, you've added nearly £20m to those transfer fees.

Good job you're not in the boardroom, you'd sign Wirtz and bankrupt the club in the process!

When Wirtz was (allegedly) here, Pep didn't bother showing up. Make of that what you will...no wonder he doesn't fancy us.

Was speaking to him loads of times on the phone plus Pep was in London due to the FA Cup final

Chris Wood has more league goals this season than Vini Jnr. Who is the better player? Your post implied Jacob Murphy is a better player than Florian Wirtz, which is bollocks. Stats can be manipulated to suit any narrative, and are meaningless in these kind of equivalances.

This season Chris Wood has been the better player. Hence he's scored more goals.

Assist stas are meaningless? Haha okay mate
 
Txiki as a DoF dropped the ball so much since the treble. squad is in a bad situation ad we have been very reactive signing mostly bench players or players Pep cannot even select to be in match squad or players that not good enough to replace the ones that are leaving-sold.
while his record signing Grealish expected to be a main name for the side otherwise we would have never paid 100m for him turned into a player Pep prefers not to play and deliver like 4 goals, 3 assists in last 2 seasons. thats fucking 2-3 great games worth of end product for someone like Salah.

I dont actually mind Viana looking around this summer and seeing what Liverpool is doing as Champions. Viana will learn from this. if they add a quality striker as well on top of Frimpong, Wirtz, Mamardashvili, and a proper LB and get rid of Nunez and eve renew with Konate as well thats probably a 10/10 window and likely better window than any other club in Europe will do.

The City of 10 years ago would have. It’s all about net spend and not looking like we are paying over the odds. All bollox as we could have a squad of 24 from the youth academy and still be called big spending City by the media and pundits. The club really don’t get it,it’s bizarre behaviour

Jesus. "World class" after two decent seasons. Mental our fans. Foden "crap" after an average season but a player that doesn't play for us is "world class" after two decent ones.

Yes.....he will be the next top world class midfielder.

Never said Foden was crap ever - infact quite the opposite but what happens if the off field issues continue?

We have had a big problem creatively this season and we are missing out on the best possible out there that is available.....you want to be the best - you get the best - and our recruitment in recent transfer windows has been poor

These are all the transfers since Pep joined city:Screenshot 2025-05-23 at 21.19.51.pngScreenshot 2025-05-23 at 21.20.05.pngScreenshot 2025-05-23 at 21.20.22.pngScreenshot 2025-05-23 at 21.20.38.pngScreenshot 2025-05-23 at 21.21.29.png
Plus
Sane
Jesus
Stones
Bravo
bernardo Silva
Ederson
Gundo
Zinchenko
Nolito
Sterling
Delph
Rodri


Now out of all of those (especially the midfielders - who ahs been an undoubted sucess?

Gundo first time round - second time very very debateable
Sane - Yes
Bernardo - yes
Zinchenko - as a midfielder no
Nolito - No
Delph - as a midfielder no
torres -no
Sergio Gomes - no Perrone - no
Phillips - hahahahahah - no
Kova - yes just
Nunes - os bad put to right back
Doku - decent but thats about it
Sav - not at the moment
Marmoush - who knows as a midfielder
Rodri - obviously yes
Sterling - yes
NIco Gonzales? - ????????????????
Grealih - No

That doesnt looka great record....KDB was already here as were some of our other top performers like Ferna and David Silva - Yes Gundo, Bernardo, Rodri being the stand out yes's but there have been some huge failings in there as well as far as trasnfers coming in.

Foden has been a critical and he came from our acadamy

For a manager who once said he would lay with a team full of midfielders that record on buying midfielders aint great

We have missed out on Rice, Bellingham and now Wirtz - two of those have gone on to significantly strengthen direct rivals
 
Defo going to the dips? That’s crap but his choice.

We need to crack on with our rebuild and see what how the squad shapes up.

Need 10, 8, 2 x full backs.

Get this 115 out of the way and we can continue to strengthen.

Give the club a chance. Yes dips have won stuff just like city but not to the same level. No point fretting about it.
