You’ve caused me to do something previously unimaginable, I agree with Billy over you, well fucking done!

Won't convince you because you have no intention of considering any other point of view. No matter how sensible and obvious it is we've rectified some if not most of last seasons short comings.Look pal you won't convince me otherwise. It's been a shit window (AGAIN MY FUCKING OPINION) and it'll be proved correct when we struggle again this season.
Bravo for Steffan is an improvement.
Otamendi for Ruben potentially a big improvement.
Added Ake as a Laporte backup, big improvement. Ferna and Garcia just aren't as good as Ake (in that position)
Lost Silva.
Sané for Torres, sane didn't play last year so has to be an improvement.
Weaknesses left back, would have liked Aouar in for Gundogan and I feel Mahrez for all his technical ability just doesn't work for the team enough.
Notably missing Messi.
6 out of 10 but maybe 7 after the players have settled.

Congratulations.
Are you skipping this season? Or are you mentally prepared to have a meltdown from here on out every matchday?Look pal you won't convince me otherwise. It's been a shit window (AGAIN MY FUCKING OPINION) and it'll be proved correct when we struggle again this season.
You're bigging up Dias like he's some VVD (Hope he is) he hasn't played a fucking game for us yet and he's not even the 1st choice Pep wanted.
Ake again will be squad rotation, I'll agree he's better than Ota.
We have a 35 year old Fernandinho still playing a major part in our side.
Aguero is a crock and will miss many games
Silva not replaced (don't give me the Foden bollocks)
We're left with 1 LB and continue to use a midfielder / RB as cover
But ye we're stronger than last year haha.
Your best bet is to look on the bright side and see that the window gone is positive and we've made good additions, whatever's lacking can be fixed for now, although I'll agree for left back. We score 100+ goals last season and Aguero didn't even play regularly, if he manages to stay fit this season it is only a big plus. We will be fine in midfield and attack.

Oh I've considered it alright and I don't agree with it, that's it.
If you think we're stronger and we've had a decent summer then good on you, my opinion is we ain't stronger, we've had a poor summer and we ain't going to win no League or Champions League this season and that frustrates to fuck out of me :( yes I'm greedy :)
I've had my say and I can't be arsed getting into arguments with people that don't agree with my opinion so I'm going to leave it here.

Absolute big IF that mate and I'll never give up my heart doesn't let me. Guess the best thing to do is tell myself we won't win this or that and if we do it'll be even better.
Us not winning the league won't come down to lack of additional signings. There's 36 games to go so much can happen.
If your concern is CL then adding 2-3 more players wouldn't have guaranteed us that either. It's not as easy. Bayern were the team looking lost even before wanting Sané in and other signings. But they managed to win CL, depends if you can get the right balance and your key players remain fit. Not as simple.

Don’t agree with what? That we haven’t improved central defence, that we haven’t improved our attacking options,? It would be nice if we could have improved a couple of other positions but we’ve improved those most pressing areas.Or do you think our defence , reserve keeper and wide forwards are all weaker than last season?Oh I've considered it alright and I don't agree with it, that's it.

I’ll throw in as well, though it might be debateable I think midfeild has improved because KDB and Foden or Bernardo will have more energy than KDB and Silva gave us last season.
That is poor attitude imo, should always be positive when a large chunk of season is yet to be played out. Patience shouldn't run thin this early into season, you'll do yourself no favors.Absolute big IF that mate and I'll never give up my heart doesn't let me.
