They all in your first team are they?
Or are they on loan like Rekik at PSV, Guidetti at Stoke, Huws at Birmingham or squad players like Nastasic, Lopes and Boyata who play when they're fit and available?
The idea that any player who isn't connected to Liverpool should choose to go there rather than City is absolutely moronic. Liverpool are a financially struggling club going through a purple patch partially due to the drop off of other teams who have almost certainly failed FFP and don't have the funds to keep their position. They will also have on of the hardest CL groups due to their coefficient and nobody is sure whether their owners are going to be around long term. City are a dead cert for Champions League for the next 10 years who have invested a shedload of money into every single aspect of the club, have some of the best players in the world, pay the best wages in the world, have the best training facilities in the world and the best promotion in the world.
It is the absolutely height of scouse arrogance to presume that any player would choose them over the CL clubs just because, something that no other club's fans think (and when City were in that position we were nowhere near delusional enough to suggest that somebody would choose City over Liverpool) and the intellectual gymnastics that your fans consistently come up with to feed into your own egotistical idea of "still a big club" that you absolutely demand your managers tell you otherwise face the wrath of your fanbase is so amusing to the rest of the country that "acting like the scousers" is an insult that we trade between each other.
