Can't wait for a loss against one of those with the expected 'wow what a disaster of a window we had, no one else to blame' it's like we can already script it. But that said, trust this process I guess, what choice do we really have? It's not grim but some things look rather obviously tbh

The media are now on another mission to unsettle Sterling..the Euros are finished, so they can now attack him again.
This is the second report Ive seen where we have supposed to have offered sterling out to finance the deal for Ronalsdo...the first report suggested that we had offered Sterling to Juve....and now this...
There is NO evidence to suggest that this was EVER the case and I find it very very unlikely that Pep would even sanction that......or that Sterling would want it

its just a blatant attempt to to unsettle the player and create a divide between him and the club

Don't we want rid of Sterling a bit though as he's got two years on his deal, way down rhe pecking order, and wants to be paid like De Bruyne? It does sound a bit like we tried to move him a few times this summer.

I do wonder what comes of Sterling's situation. I can't see him signing a new deal with his playtime in question. Even Grealish has started ahead of him in the last 2 games. When Foden comes back does it get better? With Jesus and Mahrez now also on the right wing, Sterling's gametime will be affected quite massively. Unless he finds a role centrally, not sure how he really gets many starts. I hope it works out, I absolutely love him, but feel this could be his last season. With 2 years left on his contract, I think he should get himself a good agent and work a move away, a fresh scenery could do him well if he's not quite settled.

I think it's the best for everyone if we get a good price for him. If he goes on to awesome form elsewhere and proves us wrong then fair dues to him and pity for us. But if he stays I just hope he can find his best form quickly - especially if it could be as a central forward/striker,

Many here warned against complacency in this window. Hopefully it doesn’t come back to haunt us

I don’t disagree with you they were bad Arsenal and Norwich and We might lose against Liverpool and Chelsea this season even united, but the league is won by beating the Burnley’s , Aston Villa’s , Newcastle, Brighton the other teams outside of the top 6. It’s why we had such a big gap last season we beat those teams below the top 6, united , Liverpool and Chelsea struggled against the other teams. United losing to Sheffield at Home, Liverpool losing to Burnley, Chelsea losing to West Brom Etc

I would like to see us go far in the champions league this season but the group is very tough, Leipzig are a decent Bundesliga team and PSG has the frightening front three of Messi , Neymar and Mbappe. Those games will be incredibly difficult.

PSG are different team to last season they’ve rectified their midfield, and now have added Messi and Donnaruma. It’s going to be a very difficult game this season.

We just have to hope Torres is fine all season and doesn’t pick up any knocks etc because then his back up is Liam Delap who has incredible potential but is still a kid. then you have Sterling who can play that position with excellent movement but can’t finish. It is a worry

Torres right now would have been a fine backup for a 9. This is a guy who didn’t start almost any big games last year. His problem is less the finishing and more movement, positioning and the tendency to go missing in some games. That can change but it takes some time. Even if he gets injured, Delap still won’t start. I would be shocked and many here will be disappointed. Sterling there is a nightmare.

We haven't been complacent IMO. We have looked for quality but it wasn't available, or too expensive, and we chose not to buy players (that wouldn't improve us) just for the sake of it.

No backup plans for striker, no attempt at DM or LB (especially now with LB simply there is no excuse anymore), failure to move players etc. The window isn’t over yet and I won’t let hopelessness take over until it closes

Of course we have a back-up plan. You might not like it but we have one.

I asked you earlier who are these serious alternatives to Kane ? Instead of the relentless negativity name them.

It isn’t hopeless don’t be so dramatic, we’ll be fine. Might not win the c/l , but we’ll do okay.
