I think we made a huge error in not buying Ings or a lesser known forward and going all out for Kane when it became obvious that Spurs were going to hold out for £150m. If we had no intention of paying that kind of fee we should have walked away a long time ago.

Hopefully a young player like Delap will step up. If they don't and we get an injury to Foden or KDB we will be in trouble. You take, KDB and Foden out of City, then we look short of goals.

Does Omar Berrada know what he's doing because this window has been poor.

Think half the problem is when Pep says he’d rather go with what he has than a striker he doesn’t think fits, fans are still reluctant believe it or to trust he can make it work. We don’t think like Pep, few do.
He wanted Kane because he saw Kane fitted his plans.
As fans we can blame who we want for not having a plan B, and we might have one yet wait and see. It’s also possible Pep said no to options like Ings, Lukaku, because in his head he believes he can get more team goals from what he has, than a striker that might score 25 but disrupt the team plan.

I feel so sorry for Aguero, he was told he was being moved on because we were getting in a new striker and he wouldn’t get game time. To do that to your greatest ever player, who brought you your club's greatest ever moment is just so morally wrong.

I feel sorry for him having gone to Barca expecting to hang around with his best mate.
He’s now at a club that probably can’t afford to register him.

Pep said no to other options but we were going to panic buy nearly 37 year old!!!!

No sugar coating it. We messed up this window.

That's just nonsense. Aguero wasn't ''moved on'' his contract expired and he wasn't offered a new one. A large factor in that was his injury record over the last few seasons, which continue to trouble him seeing as he's currently been ruled out for 10 weeks. There was nothing morally wrong about not offering him a new contract. Of course it's sad that he left, he's one of our biggest ever legends, but it was the right time.

Can't help but feel we're too soft when it comes to more established players at bigger clubs over the last few years.

I can't remember the last player we signed who wasn't an easy option, with either a buyout clause or from a club vastly inferior.

I think the ffp saga has affected us badly.

Wishful thinking but wouldn’t it be fantastic is City we’re in collusion with Mendes to suck the rags in then pull their pants down - getting them spending ridiculous amounts of money on someone they didn’t really need the Piano player springs to mind). Him and his client get a big pay day and the rags have a drain on their resources that might stop them spending big on a striker next year - giving City a clear field.
A bit fanciful, I know, but wouldn’t it be great if true!

I doubt that can be real though.
It is either he used us on purpose to create buzz around Ronaldo or Ronaldo had a last minute change, the damage has been done nonetheless no matter the situation.

I know that mate. You didn't understand my point. We lied to him telling him "We will sign a Striker this summer." which is why he won't get game time. Telling him we are letting him go for his injury record would've been more respectful imho.
