We had a squad that could have won the league last season - not saying should have but how many at the start of last season said we couldn't win the league? Don't rewrite history to suit your purposes, we were favourites for the league ffsOne real trophy. Let's not fall into the small minded trap of thinking the League Cup and Europa are real trophies on par with the Premier League or even Champions League.
I think a lot of folk are getting carried away this evening thinking that we are completely transformed with the addition of Sanchez and Mbappe (if we got both or either). It's a huge step forward for the better obviously but a few hours back we were fretting about the CB and CM/DM situations. ;-)
There's still another window or two to get us to the absolutely top notch squad that'll hopefully deliver immense football and the rewards that should follow.
Can't wait for the season to start. :-)
I think Pep has maybe delivered a few home truths to our board, he's certainly not arsed about what it will all cost.
We are another goalscorer,leader cover for vinny and maybe a DM away from a good shot at the CL,that is if all the new additions gel straight awayI think a lot of folk are getting carried away this evening thinking that we are completely transformed with the addition of Sanchez and Mbappe (if we got both or either).

I doubt Pep had to tell too many "home truths" to Sheik Mansour, Khaldoon, Ferran or Txiki. Throughout the season he will simply have stated his opinion - the opinion of the best coach in the wold, pursued by City for years - that City did not have a team capable of winning one trophy, never mind four, without the acquisition of several players who could reduce the average age of the team while, at the same time, turning problem positions into strengths. Not surprisingly the club has backed Pep with the finance required and Txiki has played an absolute blinder in getting deals agreed. We look an entirely different prospect to last season and should be genuine contenders in all four competitions. That' not to take anything for granted, but the project seems to be progressing in the most exciting way. And if we can get Sachez ........and Mbapé.....Wow!

We would be mad not to go for cover for vinny in this window,also hoping john pushes on from last season is a leap of faith,i hope we are sorting out someone nowMany permutations there Doris.
I think that is a year or two's work.
I'd take the league next year.
