So last year affected everybody except us then? Is that why we cruised the league?Do you accept that last year was a bit of an aberation with covid, finances and no supporters for a starters......?
...
If he is the club will be well aware and the speculation has been a smoke screen.Dont think people should be convinced kane and grealish are going to arrive , i dont think kane will take the challenge , seems a home boy to me
The more I look at this transfer window I’m struggling to see anybody coming in. If I had one wish it would be mbape.
Kane & Grealish are good but not amazing. I don’t see either coming anyway.
beginning to think Aguero for another season would of been a good move.

They've never hung the manager from the rafters and I can't see that happening either.I don’t think city will spend big on 2 players this summer never have why now ?

And yet we let Aguero go. It's almost as if they know what they're doing.The more I look at this transfer window I’m struggling to see anybody coming in. If I had one wish it would be mbape.

maybe because we don't have a out and out striker at the club and pep likes grealish
the old chestnut is a world class striker is not cheap ? if manchester city come knocking on the door then its double bubble. city have to play it right and not show our hand to early. if we can bluff and hold out we stand as chance. but we also stand a chance of missing out and having to settle for 2nd best
i will add one thing. any good striker in this squad with KDB will score a hatful of goals ? so maybe we can shop at poundland and grab a bargain
Also i'm sorry, and I know some people will take this as heresy, but kane isn't a million miles away from prime aguero. And I genuinely believe he can surpass him if he played for us.
In numbers, maybe. As a player, no not for me.
If he could get close to the level he was at 4 or 5 years ago, would be fantastic. I personally can't see it, hence my own tedious negativity.
Is this Big Dave Wastons new handle?I don’t think city will spend big on 2 players this summer never have why now ?

why do we have to have a proven PL striker? But if you want a list Id have Salah, Vardy and Mane over Kane for starters....Haaland, Dybala, Lewandowski at least from outside the prem areothers that id have over him....Kane is not the be all and end all and neither is the prem league.Why are you continuing with your drivel making comparisons with Sergio and Kane.Two different types of players and Sergio will not be bettered at City for decades.
However in terms of a proven PL striker hardly anyone else comes near Kane.
The comparrison between Sergio and Kane is very relevant as its Sergio we are trying to replace....so it cant be more relevant.
However Id take a fit and firing Aguero even at his age over Kane (problem being his fitness - Agueros that is - though there seems to be some suggestion in some places that Agueros lack of appearnaces last season wasnt just down to a lack of fitness or at least that he may have been available more than suggested (though that could be bullshit of course)
And Im not sure why you are saying that they are two different type of players...every player is different but in terms of role in the team (striker) they are the same

I need champions league now.Put it this way, if United were also signing Grealish and Kane this summer, I would make them title favourites.
I fail to see how City buying the pair, being Champs already, doesnt justify a serious upgrade to an already outstanding squad, where the margins for improvement are so slender?

100% people are blinded for their love of aguero. They are near enough the same goals per games in the prem and Kane hasn’t had yaya , Silva , nasri , kdb supplying the bullets.
first time in 12 years they have ;)And yet we let Aguero go. It's almost as if they know what they're doing.

Me too @oakiecokie.One of my all time ever City favourites.
I remember thinking ‘Why could we not have sighed you 5 years younger!?’
That chipped back heal to Goater was sublime.

Thats the problem with too many Blue Mooners.Every time we need a certain type of player WEW HAVE TO SIGN A WORLD CLASS PLAYER !!maybe because we don't have a out and out striker at the club and pep likes grealish

Well guess what, there aint too many of those knocking about at an affordable level nowadays and Chairmen are very reluctant to let them go and maybe, just maybe, we should start to look at lesser known players as you point out.

it may have affected others more...who knows....we certainly seem to hit our stride when the prem league reopened initially a lot quicker than others (the previous season).So last year affected everybody except us then? Is that why we cruised the league?
Tell me..will we go to anfield this season full of supporters and rout them as we did when it was empty?

He might have said he is up for the move but as we saw with messi when it comes to it they wimp outIf he is the club will be well aware and the speculation has been a smoke screen.

Fortunately they wont do anything whilst ‘ole’ is the wheel.Could be and I would agree.
He looked a class act at Juventus but it's gone very wrong at Trafford as it has for most of their recruits, thanks to Ole.
But the deluded masses either think he’ll come good or are still believing its ‘not the united way’ to sack manager (5 since GPC? and how many between busby and Gpc?)

what about buys last summer? all these money are already finished.Yep, add the £44m from Sane. As things stand, we have cash sales of around £85m burning a hole and that's without a big name moving on so far.
£44m Leroy
£18m Angelino
£11m Harrison
£11m Sancho
Nmecha, Porro, etc.
