It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Re our recent player purchases it wouldn't have been so bad if we'd signed the likes of Phillip's and Nunes for 15-20m each, but wasting near to 100m quid is staggering. Add to that 50m on Doku, jury still out and 90m on Gvardiol jury still out makes that 240m spent on seemingly bang average players. New incomings have to be spot on!
Gvardiol for 90m was worth it. Even in our poor form he’s coming up with important goals. He’s probably carrying an injury but soldiering on and that’s probably why he hasn’t been as good as he was last season.
 
McFarlane and Echerverri only players to be joining in January IMO, We dont over play for players EVER, January notorious difficult market which will require serious overpayment. IMO We will write this season off and start again in summer. CWC prize money makes up for the missed CL money. All this rumours of us going big in January is bollocks to appease the fans

How does it appease the fans when we do nothing then? Even in the summer other clubs know we are desperate? Especially if the likes of Walker, KDB, Ederson etc all go and we have to do top end business?

Tbh the management should be intent in signing players who can help bring the team out of the current hiatus, which if done successfully will appease the supporters as well.

Agreed mate. I fully understand not buying for buying sake but there LOADS of players out there who are attainable and would be hungry to come to City and play for Pep.
 
I don’t get the desperation line. The team badly needs reinforcements. It’s not realistic to expect the club to buy replacements for the likes of Kev while still at the club. Unless we timed his downfall perfectly and already had a player in a season before. It’s just not gonna happen. How would we keep the wage bill down?

The club has record turnover for a reason and that’s due to pitch success. Now it’s time to reinvest back into the team to continue winning.

Teams in Spain/italy will take the money.

We need to stop finding problems. Go and buy who we want. If the recruitment is not correct we will continue to struggle season after season like most clubs.

Penny pinching on elite players is part of the reason we are in this mess.

Good post that mate, there are players out there in the same vein as when we signed the likes of Sane, Gabby etc? Then give Pep the time to make them into City 3.0 under the greatest manager on the planet and of all time.
