We don't sell our best players,what is difficult about that?
Nobody has addressed my points yet. City are a business and have to meet financial regulations. Nobody got rich by giving all their money away. We’ve grossly overspent on crap for years and never seem to make anything back.
The Sancho argument fired back was tragic. He’s one of the hottest players in Europe and could command a transfer fee of over £100,000,000 this summer. Imagine the income and the players that could attract.
Hart, Kompany, Zabaleta, Clichy all cost peanuts.
Aguero, Silva and Yaya were bargains at £36m, £24m and £24m each.
Bernardo and Ederson were super cheap compared to what came immediately after in the transfer market.
God knows what we’d have achieved if Cook and Marwood were allowed to continue their work; they built a platform which redefined the club in the modern era, and I think their successors have underachieved in comparison, considering the status and resources of the club they inherited.
Yes. I am not convinced about Tixi picks.God knows what we’d have achieved if Cook and Marwood were allowed to continue their work; they built a platform which redefined the club in the modern era, and I think their successors have underachieved in comparison, considering the status and resources of the club they inherited.

I think in the grand scheme of things, and how it changed our season at that point and pretty much saved us as a club, Morrison has got to be up there. I remember thinking why the fuck are we buying a fat fucker for 80k that's not even wanted by fucking Huddersfield. But then he just dragged us from the neck to where we should have been.The Goat. Andy Morrison.

This is spot on - nobody wants to hold Soriano, Txiki or Pep accountable for their unprecedented spending, yet relatively moderate success. 2 titles in 4 years and no Champions League progress with a £1b squad was hardly worth the 3 year wait for Guardiola, or given the owners value for their investment.
