Bad summer for those who claim to know shit about the clubs targets. From all nations and creeds. Done deals happen when the scarf is over the head. Nothing more or nothing less. All the rest of the stuff is lies and misdirection. For that reason I'm out.


Until tomorrow obviously
 
Yes, but who didn’t have a plan B. Who decided any plan B options weren’t as good as going with what we have. My point is it could well have been Pep preferring to go with what we have when any options or plan Bs were /are suggested. We don’t know , if it was maybe he can make it work again. Or maybe one will arrive. Until we get into the season we won’t know.
I don't know if he can make it work again or not. I don't know how the season would go. That's not the point of discussion. That's secondary. I know we messed this transfer waiting too long for kane and jumping into ronaldo wagon in the last minute. If there was no plan B and pep believed in the team, they should not have gone for Ronaldo. That could have avoided one disaster atleast.
 
1. I think Pep laid it clear that the club never got to negotiate with Spurs at all. What the hell can you do besides maybe telling Harry earlier, listen Son your on your own.
Harry didn’t do a Ronaldo and say listen I'm not playing for you again, get over it.
2. I think Grealish is part of the overall 5 year plan or whatever and as such will prove to be an astute move on our part. Just my opinion.
Wonder if Pep means Spurs never shifted position, not there was no negotiation, or attempts,on our part.
 
Pretty pissed off how people on here are moaning we are having a shit window - Spurs just wouldn't talk to us over Kane - Ronaldo was offered but in a few hours of talks we decided the number were bobbins and we said no ta - and we got Grealish. The real pisser of this week is Mendy and thats not window related. A seasoned goal scorer would be more than helpful but lets not chase like a teenager in love and lets not panic buy or we may end up with another Crocky

Fuck me,I had to read that twice then,I thought you said Mendy was a seasoned goalscorer !

My eyes are gone,been a long day in front of this screen,time for my pit.

Up the Blues,let's smash them tossers tomorrow
 
Tbf if people can focus on City's negatives I can easily focus on Chelsea's. They were the club that spent 72m on Kepa. I believe other than scoring against us 36m Ziyech has been underpar. Higuain was hardly great. Morata, Drinkwater, the iconic Torres deal. They spent 35m on Batshuayi.

Then there's Barkley, Zappacosta, Baba for 23m (who?), Bakayoko...

I rate Chelsea's transfer team btw, but if their fans are like ours then I imagine they get just as pissy too with envious eyes often shot our way.
 
At the end of the day, we'll just have to get on with it and hope for the best. Hopefully Ronaldo will poison the Rag dressing room with his arrogance, whilst at the same time proving to be a 37 year old flop out on the pitch before accumulating multiple splinters from sitting on the bench for so long.
 
They don’t they have as many more misses than we do.
Have you seen how much they make off of player sales? And I don't mean just this summer and last.

Look mate, I'd like to think our club does it best. But, Chelsea doesn't dick about. They find a target, go after him and usually get him.

We may not agree but I'd prefer Chelsea's transfer team to ours. Doesn't mean I don't love the club. However, I'm not a happy clapper that thinks only MCFC does everything the proper way.
 
Akin to at a school, looking at a pretty bird, if she makes a glance you glance back, smile thinks it’s on? If so get the coats and gone. We’ll at least that was my reading of it, expect here, she stared hard, we looked but there was no cloakroom and no coats, everyone stayed at the disco til it was over in the morning. None got lucky! It’s just how it is sometimes.
I am starting to calm down. There are multiple ways for this to blow up in Raggy faces.

Whether he makes it work is not secondary, in fact it’s the only thing that really matters. Not bothered about whether we should have gone for Ronaldo that’s done and hardly a disaster, we had a look and pulled back for whatever reason how far in we got is debateable.

I agree. They have misses. No doubt about it. That said, they don't dick about when they want someone. They go and get them for the most part. They make some damn good money on player sales, also. They aren't typically a charity.

Disagree. I wish it wasn't a shit show, but that's what it is. Three months to sign a striker and we fail to do it
Can't whitewash that. It was majorly incompetent.
 
Our conversion rate last season was shocking looked it up

"Pep Guardiola's side have a rate of 13.4 per cent - scoring 56 of their 418 efforts on goal/attempts
 
Not a popular view but for me today has been a good day, as a woman I’m really happy we‘re not associating ourselves with Ronaldo and the most important person in our club Pep has stated he has no timeframe in which he is leaving, as long as we have pep we will win trophies as that just what what he does!

Admittedly this hasn’t been a good window as we haven’t addressed any of our weaknesses (lb & striker) whereas our competitors have all improved…..but 1) the window isn’t over and 2) the rest have to first match our level before they‘re number one.

i‘m just guessing but personally I”n not expecting any big moves on strikers (as I just don’t see who there is available) but I wouldn’t be surprised if we make movements on addressing our LB issues and bringing in a defensive midfielder so that next summer we can concentrate on landing a striker instead of having to get a LB, Defensive midfield ano striker.

Above all guys keep your heads up, we’re the champions and have the best manager in the world!
 
i dont know where are confidence of getting Kane came from all summer. if our ITK's really got positive feedback from sources on Kane transfer, what the hell it was based on given of what was the outcome being basically Levy not talking to us.

its not like we were close and we missed out.
That's the most baffling factor in all of this.
