Eager to know what Mattyb knows…

I think he very well had a deal agreed with Ronaldo and City but then went with the highest bidder.

City trying to say that they said no is laughable. They obviously tried to haggle over the price thinking they were the only party in town and got gazumped.

Not the first time this has happened either.

And it won’t be the last time either. It’s a bit like getting involved in an auction for a house. There has to be a level at which you walk away.

Pretty funny tbh

Lol

Just a reminder for everyone who may have forgotten but we did actually win the league last year and get to the CL final, it isn't like we are some mid table side desperate to get into the top 4.

If we assume that the two wide players in a front three are Grealish and Mahrez then we still have plenty of options for the striker role.

Sterling, Jesus, Torres to start with, give Delap some game time as well and who knows how good he will be.

And we still have a few days of the window left where something may happen.

just a reminder that last year

Chelsea didnt have Lukaku and started with Lampard as their manager
Liverpool had VVD out most of the season.
Utd didnt have Ronaldo, Sancho or Varane

No wonder Pep looked so depressed during the press conference.

The people above him have failed him this summer.

All our rivals got what they needed this summer.

Lol. I do like the optimism!

Optimistic or pessimistic, it’ll still be the same on Tuesday as I, or anyone else on this forum, can’t influence any of it and I know what state of mind I’d rather have over the next 4 days.

Or become homeless.

All been a smokescreen for Haaland.
Rags can’t afford him now thanks to Ronaldo, PSG can’t due to Messi and Madrid can’t as they want M’Bappe. Free run for City at £175M and he signs on Tuesday. Master stroke from all concerned…….

out of all the strikers this summer haaland was the one for me ? kane would have worked... ronaldo just for the crack of getting the piss taken out of united.. messi sorry never on the table after last summer.. mbappe ??????

if we are having to play ball in getting haaland for a good price then so be it
even if we have to pay £150million right now then you get the best 10 years of his career

It's just rank bad planning I'm afraid.

The big blues on here will get all defensive and come up with excuses but we knew for a year that Aguero was going (largely because the club unfortunately pushed him to leave) and we spent the entire summer waiting for Spurs to phone us.

All the money we've spent and we're glaringly short/empty at Left Back and Striker. I would also argue we're short at centre midfield.

Thank god we've got Pep. Can't imagine is very happy with the transfer team right now.

If he isn't happy he knows where the door is. Fucking hell, the bloke has spent hundreds of millions and been given nearly everyone he wants. Im not having this sob story of he didn't get Kane so there is no way Pep can do anything. Didn't have Kane either last year and won the title and got us a CL final.
Its a load of shite and its pissing me off.

Aguero left because he can't stay on the pitch more than 10mins, didn't even make it on the pitch for Barca and hes already crocked for 3mths. Hes finished.

Maybe we did think Spurs would phone us, its worked every other time. Levy just decided to stand strong this one time, finally grew a backbone. Oh well, Europa conference for Harry and the rest of the spuds.

I think what this window has taught me is, when the season finishes go away take a breather. Come back when season begins and disregard everything until window closes.

The highs and lows all the blues went through in last 3 days. Man…..

I need a breather see you in the post Arsenal thread.

Also should of taught you not to tell anyone to get off their high horse neither in future.
