I had already resigned myself to this but what we are seeing is beyond that.

They seem to sell more easily. Them and France. English and Spanish will play hard ball or the Spanish teams have absurd release clauseswhy italy?

If we held a genuine interest in the players then we've obviously been knocked back. Bruno G because of the fee, and Zubi because he doesn't fancy the move.
We are dealing with hypotheticals here - but what fee is big enough for us to say No, we rather play Gundo or Lewis again.
We did the same with rice and we end paying enough for Nunes.

Yeah but it's turning into a nightmare walking into an abyss.No other team has ever won 4 in a row. It was bound to catch up with us eventually.
Sorry couldn't resist.

Without 2 midfielders, 2 CB's, a RB.. I don't see how we make top 4.

Wonder if Laporte fancies 6 months on loan with us.
Nicolo Barella by a mile. He doesn't want to leave Italy thoughWho's the best athletic, hard working midfielder in Italy? Sign them. They don't even need to be amazing, they just need to be able to run and get stuck in.
Take this with a pinch of salt if you want, but heard from someone before that City do accept internally that the recruitment over the past 2/3 years has been not good enough for what we needed given everything. January is being taken seriously apparently. Doesn't mean we'll sign anyone, but I do think this January window will be different than the others - think there will be a genuine intention to sign someone for once.
Ta! No idea why they didn't have this realisation during the summer when they had opportunity to address it.
If it’s true we can’t get Bruno G or Zubimendi in January that’s pretty worrying. Any other semi-available midfielder is a big downgrade to those twoTake this with a pinch of salt if you want, but heard from someone before that City do accept internally that the recruitment over the past 2/3 years has been not good enough for what we needed given everything.
