Any cause for optimism?
Surely there is because we don't have a striker and there are any number of strikers who would improve us. I can name two who play for Arsenal for a start.
I am very disappointed we didn't get Ronaldo but I don't blame City for that. I think Utd would just match any bid we made and the transfer was always doomed. I naively believed the press reports that Utd weren't interested.
I think the Kane deal was a farce. We should have walked away a lot earlier and targeted other players, e.g., Bissouma.
Through the window City have been abused for buying players and having no respect for the value of money by fans of a club who have just bought a player that they have no footballing need for precisely to stop us getting him.
