Juventus signed Vidal from Leverkusen for under £10million and he is now arguably the best box-to-box midfielder in Europe. And yet had we signed Vidal, you could have thrown the same criticism at us going for the lower profile players. Kompany, Nastasic, Zabaleta were also low key signings. If you use your scouting network well you don't need to buy the £40million players, although a marquee signing every now and then is nice.
I think though people are just upset of the lack of quality signings we've made. Last season, we signed Garcia, Sinclair, Maicon, Nasty and Wright. 4 out of the 5 have been disappointing to say the least while our rivals alas Chelsea and Man Utd have signed players such as Hazard, Oscar , Kagawa and RVP. We should be improving at the rate of our rivals to maintain our success. Take Bayern for example, they won it all but they know that to maintain that success they need to sign world-class players and have done for example, Gotze. After last season, we get a marquee signing that can push us that extra bit more. Fernandinho is a very good player but there is no value for money signing a 28 year old for 30M with no competition especially considering some of the deals other clubs have got e.g. Gotze (30m), RVP (22M),Isco(22M),Hazard(30M).
Agreed.

That is how long we have been able to compete for high calibre players.
Stop acting spoilt.
Bordering on pathetic!
It doesnt matter how long we have been at it - in the last 12 months the squad has gone backwards! Fact.
And if we continue to sign aging players for silly money it will continue to do so.
Now you can keep shouting if you want but if Javi Garcia is your bag then good for you.
We have gone from signing Yaya, Silva and Aguero to Garcia and Sinclair!
The squad didn't go backwards in terms of personnel. It went backwards because we had too many players underperforming consistently.. We haven't sold anyone other than Balotelli who wasn't contributing much anyway
With regards to Garcia, many thought he would be a good signing. And he's certainly not ageing, he's only 26. He struggled to handle the pace of the league.
The only ageing player we've signed is Fernandinho at 28. You were probably one of the fans screaming for Van Persie last summer who according to your thinking is also ageing
But I reckon he will know a little more than us, working at the club and listening to club gossip!CityPar said:FantasyIreland said:whicko said:Gareth Taylor works with City youth, so yes he will be itk.
About City youth.
Exactly. He'll be no more in the know about Isco than my next door neighbour who doesn't give a shit about football.

Rodney Marsh's Hair said:Seeing as City seem the only ones arsed about it you might not be far off. It's ridiculous,it really is. Can see us falling short again next season with no more key additions.
How can you say that Navas and Fernandinho aren't key additions. Both signings gives us things which we were missing last season. Pace, the ability to take on a full back on the wing, get to the by line and cut inside in Navas' case and the breaking up of play, counter attacking quickly and wide range of passing that Fernandinho will bring.
