So you think pep at Bayern @domalino spent his days sorting out our transfer policy ? That's my point, players are in line happily playing, city ( upper echelons ) are interested and start the move. The mgr / coach isn't a great part of it!

Did Mancini want Rodwell or Sinclair ?? This is getting hard work

Pfft. We're already getting the UCL, EPL and EFL Cup in this hypothetical future, would it break your heart to let Everton take the FA cup?

As a Manchester City fan who grew up as one of the few blues in the playground running around in Goater and Dickov shirts when everyone else had Beckham or van Nistelrooy tops, I want us to win everything we contend for.

The season hasn't kicked off and you're saying you'd be happy for another club to win a cup over us. Not for me.

Well we know Pep had weekly video chats with Txiki through his sabbatical and time I. Germany - the two are that close.

So yeah, I do think that as soon as we realised we might get pep, we asked his opinion of the players.

Because to spend 150 million on players the new manager doesn't like would be moronic.

And yeah I do think Mancini wanted Rodwell, he always liked him and always played him if fit.

As for Sinclair - I believe he wanted a winger. And when we didn't get Sanchez or Hazard,
They went for the plan C.
 
And just to mention Stones if it's OK in this thread -

John Stones is the more likely of the big names hoping to leave Everton to get his way this summer, with a £40 million move to Manchester City in the offing and both clubs close to a deal. Everton need to close a deal for Swansea City captain Ashley Williams first.​

Mancini didnt want them but he excepted them because the list he had the club at the time(ffp) weren't an option, one of those players he wanted was Van Percie and looking back he wasnt wrong.
 
In the vast world of football and wingers within the game, Sinclair was "Plan C".

Lol.

Really? City at the time were trying to fill up with home grown players. Mancini wanted players from Europe. Tell you what, e mail Mancini, I'll bet he ll tell you, seriously, we were In his hotel and he was gobsmacked at what city were offering him

Offering him what new players? Because that time ffp was seriously effecting us, if you look back city thought we wouldnt fail it, in the end we failed because they changed the goal posts.

My point was and is the people above the manager ( txixi ) have a 5 year plan and players they have in mind. They have 2 or 3 in every position and look at the youngsters as well. The manager / coach is consulted as to THEIR targets as to whether he can work with him etc.

Coaches such as pep rarely instigate a lead, that's what the scouting network is being payed for

I'm sorry but the thought that pep managing Bayern gave a list to txixi is wrong. He may have agreed Kdb was a good buy, but to sit in Bayern pulling the strings is wrong

It's well documented that Pep and Txixi speak several times a week prior to Pep being here as our manager. They both have said it and that they are very good friends. What do you supose the bulk of their conversations are about ?

Shorts it's as though some people have their own ideas and that is fine. I'm saying I know from city themselves what it is about ( over the last 5 years or so )

Look at signings under Mancini and pellers that is my point, yes pep is a pal, but, the strict policy of buying is down to the upper management, city today have 3 players in mind for every spot in our team , maybe 5. Don't be kidded. Look at our recent purchase history. Pep is game and he will give his opinion but he doesn't pass a napkin, that's all I am saying

Aye, add to that the meeting between Pep and Gundogans agent (uncle). If Pep doesn't get involved there was no need for him to go to Netherlands to meet him.

Signings under Pellers and Mancini have no reflection on the current manager and his influence on transfer policy. A manager who we have courted for five years, a manager who is getting paid astronomical sums, a manager that many say is the best in the business and a manager whose philosophy (sorry) is paralel to his friend and our football director.

To suggest that his influence on transfers is comparable to that of Mancini and Pellegrini just cannot be correct. It's blindingly obvious.

Cool...... Who told you 3 years ago unequivocally that he was coming to our great club.......? Pep the messiah was coming to little old city? Sorry shorts to be short with you, but I am sick of questions and shite on here. I called it and everyone said I was talking shite. Leave me alone and talk it on the main form pal

If you get an in at city and a proper insight into the inner workings then I would love to hear from you pal, pm me that would be fine
