It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

It will but to be fair we’ll see players come back home and leave the camp, and others fly out to join them. It’s not a new thing and happens every season.
Now if KDB or Haaland are not on the flight then meltdown will ensue.

If KDB is injured and still recovering then it's highly unlikely he'll be on the plane.

Chaos gonna break out when that flight list is published/reported

Why? Can't see anything surprising on it.

You'd have to be a moron to meltdown if KDB isn't on the plane considering he's still a month away from being fit enough to play.

The best thing for our squad (possibly) is that we go into the season feeling like we are underdogs (after losing a few players and failing to sell others).

Put it in black and white and the 4 with ? next to them you couldnsay only 2 would need direct replacements, the others we can shuffle the pack.

That squad still wins trophies and finished top 2

I love capitals.

Not for me, tbh. Usually full of tourists and too much traffic

Trying to save that extra £15m and letting Arse get Rice is looking a worse decision every day.

I must have missed some huge new development that would make you say this

Genuine question, how do you know he’s at least a month of being fit to play?

£15m isn’t a penny pinch though is it. It buys you an Akanji for example! Successful business’ don't stay at the top by wasting money for the sake of it or because they can.
This argument is exactly why the right people are running our club, look at Barça, they have had your attitude for years and now find they can’t buy who they’d like as they can’t register them. They are also now facing questions from UEFA, something we’d like to avoid.
£1-2m I get, £5m I’d see an argument for, but again that’s not how good business’ run and regardless of how we as fans feel, Manchester City Football Club is a business foremost.

If we did it for every player I’d agree with you, or if we paid about £50m over the odds, BUT, look at the income we generate, compared to clubs like Arsenal - and for one player Pep wanted, after such a good season, perhaps sometimes the club need to push the boat out a bit. Given the prices of even average players these days, plus our prize money this season alone, £15m isn’t a huge amount to us I wouldn’t have thought.

It's also a couple injuries away from disaster.
