I’ve been a huge fan of the utterly professional way City have conducted transfer business these last few years after the initial few years where we HAD to spend huge money in order to break into the top 4 before FFP shut the door for ever (As an aside why did the media never ask if football pre-City was so fair and equitable why did it take so many hundreds of millions for a mid table premier league team to break into the top 4? But I digress..)
But...but...but... the irrational, still-a-child-inside part of me is hoping against hope that THIS summer we go nuclear and really show the rest of the world who we are.
130m for Haaland, 80m for Grealish, 50/60m for a top level LB and just as a cherry on top how about another year or two for the greatest manager in the world.
A couple of hundred million spent at the end of a season where we are champions again as well as possibly 2 or 3 other cups would be a sight to see.
The way transfers are amortisized as well I doubt we’d even be in danger of failing FFP even if it hadn’t been relaxed. Jesus, for shits and giggles imagine throwing Messi in on top of that lot. The vast vats of urine boiled from 2008-2014 would look like a mild tantrum if the above came true.
Make it happen City. Make this middle aged old tosser feel like a teenager again.
EDIT: Whilst I’m dreaming why not throw in 200m or so in new sponsorships from non-Arab companies. I honestly think that could finish off a few pundits and journos.
