Alex Sandro, we should have just fucking paid the release clause or whatever ffs

The most infuriating part of it was he was available for £18m, an absolute steal.

Danny Rose is shite, stay well clear

Isco doesn't excite me either :(

Did people even refer to the 'Pivot' as a position years ago?

No but a **** is still a ****.....

Nor me. I realize 80% of the transfer forum would marry him but I just think we could find a better option. One that hasn't already played us for fools.

Precisely, we've allegedly had the best squad for the past 3 seasons and spent a bloody fortune and won 1 milk cup and possibly an FA cup this season, hardly great is it.

People seem to think spending another 200 million is the key to winning everything next season. United won titles with some bang average players in the squad because they had the right mentality and a strong English core for 2 decades.We have a mentally fragile squad with no leaders- something money can't buy.

^^ it seems top be the answer fopr everything on here, spend 200m minimum and only buy world class talent. if english players/lower team or league players are mentioned most dont seem to want them. which i find strange, theres some fantastic talents in this league who we could get. rose has been mentioned, one of the best left backs in the league, yet hes shit according to many on here. we need to build a team, yes with high quality, but we are missing the right mentality as you say and we could do with players who want to fight for us and be moulded by pep. those players dont have to cost 50m everytime.

Name might have changed but the idea was the same. Taking a clearly attack minded player and switching him to you last midfielder.

Right... here's me thinking you are a football geek with access to FM17

in actual fact you are a football genius who chooses to hide in plain sight, imparting your venerable wisdom in the blue moon transfer forum...

The latter :-) And amongst other forums

I like how angry people are getting before the transfer window is even open.

It's all good fun isn't it?

Couldn't agree more , there are plenty of clubs throughout Europe and in the PL that pick these great players up for peanuts and nurture their talent and make them top drawer players , City either don't have the ability in this regard or simply are happy to continue to buy the ready made article and take the gamble , look what Wolfsburg paid for Kevin or Liverpool for Raheem, the list is endless , the mentality of the squad has been a problem for 3-4 seasons now and it's continuing even under Pep to a certain degree,we seem unable to press the peddle hard for a full 90 minutes in games and appear to only run through brick walls when we go a goal down , it's why bringing some young hungry talent into the squad from within will define this club and how fans back the team in the not too distant future , spending massive amounts on players has proved to us it doesn't mean we will win anything , one milk cup and possibily an FA Cup is a poor return in 3 seasons for what £300m spent ?
