A negative byproduct of allowing our players to bring offers in mid july and leave is that replacements have already been poached by other clubs. If we had known Mahrez is gone say, a month ago, maybe we could have persuaded Arda Guler.
Other than Haaland, KDB and Aguero, when have we managed to get our top target across the line? We failed with Bellingham, Rice, Koulabaly, Maguire, Alexis, Van Dijk, Hazard, and many others.
We always tend to get 2nd or 3rd on the list or relative unknowns, who're hungry to prove themselves.
I've made my peace with this is how Txiki operates.. so we'll find diamonds in the rough and not the jewelery store. Kind of like Julian Alvarez and Maximo Perrone. Don't be surprised if they have a bigger role this season.
Ready made song “Lola” by The KinksBarcola is an excellent profile, changed his agent to Mendes. I wonder if we can do a decent deal for him. Ideal target, Lyon need funds too.
clearly that was the plan was to add Haaland, Bellingham, Gvardiol is space of 12 months. thats huge. future superstar in each department.
It better not be otherwise i think Haaland is eating my birthday cakeBloody hell is it 1st September already. Must have slept through it all.
You should know better than to take this stuff at face value. Jeez.Wtf is this shit “ gathering info “ ? does that mean city had never scouted him before and just getting ready now? unbelievable !
Exactly what you say - shitWtf is this shit “ gathering info “ ? does that mean city had never scouted him before and just getting ready now? unbelievable !
Perhaps they weren't expecting to replace Mahrez this soon. Tbf, Mahrez had 2 years left on his contract, him wanting to leave was clearly a surprise to the club.Wtf is this shit “ gathering info “ ? does that mean city had never scouted him before and just getting ready now? unbelievable !
