So after his post this morning about Zubimendi, is this now confirmation straight away we arent doing him or Bruno?

We will get battered today and Pep will say post-match that there will be no incomings in january

People need to understand that 99% of what he posts is him as a fan just commenting on stuff around the club. Occasionally he will be told something that he will post in good faith, but absolutely nothing should be taken as gospel. Not sure how people haven't understood this by now

We won’t make top 4 if that’s the case. I can’t believe that the board would be satisfied with that, nor can I believe they think cheap signings would be enough to get us there. Look at how Khaldoon and co operate, how could they be that unambitious, I just don’t believe that.

Secondly, if the board were less confident of getting the charges dismissed, then they’ve certainly called Pep’s and everyone’s bluffs as the message from the club is consistently that we have ‘clear evidence of no wrongdoing’.

I also think even if we were to be charged, surely now is the time to insure against that and make ourselves as strong as possible. Spend hundreds of millions, just give any signings some clause they can leave if we go down or something, it shouldn’t be that hard to get deals done. Fucking spend!

Jeez, that last paragraph makes no sense.

Being charged could make it tough to get back but we have give ourselves lots of leeway to help.

You now want to spend that leeway whilst then giving these players an out our current ones don’t have.

I’m not saying don’t spend we’re clearly need a DCM and a RB.

But I imagine we’ll make do @ RB just get a DCM, the young Argentine and Bobb back.

The cavalry should be arriving in ten days (Jan 1st). The recruitment have known about the Rodri and Alvarez situations for 4 fucking months. Total neglect or arrogance by the recruitment staff if this doesn't happen.

I said this all along. People are in fantasy land thinking were fixing our squad in January

Italian clubs always listen to the money if it’s good. Atalanta won’t reject a huge sum even if they are in a title race same with Milan. I’ve thought from the start we’d go Italy.

Starting to think that despite City’s briefings to the contrary the 115 are having an impact on recruitment, certainly in January. Why move in January when you could be joining a club about to relegated.

When Rodri got injured we should have locked in a midfielder. Looks like the main targets are missed and we know how badly second choices go. Unless we add a proper DM we won’t make top 4.

This better be true because if we don't want Zubimendi/Bruno, then it has to be Reijnders/Ederson, surely?

Nobody knows who we want or who we'll get. Know that and relax.

Of course the charges has a negative impact on recruitment. One would have to have an extremely naive and/or biased view to think it doesn't.
