One thing that we've learnt over the last 6/7 years in particular is that we have the best in the business of football in place at our beloved club. The Sheikh, the Chairman, Pep, the backroom staff, and most importantly a squad of players that constantly evolves to be THE team that every other club, fan, chairman, and player aspires to be.
We only accept the best of those that want to be a part of this extraordinary club. There may be a few that we believe we can elevate to meet our standards. that's football, and we give them a fair try to do so. We rarely make mistakes.
Whatever may be, and whoever we sign to wear the shirt next season, one thing remains. They will make a difference or be a better player for working with Pep and move on to pastures new.
Don't forget, Jude is what 19 years old ? He may end up here this Summer, he may not. One thing is certain. City will be the dominant force and all others will be striving to be like us, managers will copy Pep, owners will copy our model but few will get the better of us.
I'd love Jude to join us, whether that be now or when he's 23/24. I'm patient. If he doesn't join, we can't force him, but I believe that he'll end up here one day if he truly wants to make the most of his undoubted potential.
