Having done a catch up of posts over the last few hours it reminds me of why I love the game and why it saddens me also.
@M18CTID The fact that someone can sit and spend the time typing up crap like that just makes me shake my head. There is no way any sensible person cannot have a similar reaction...but then the world is full of those that dont think sensibly. Something I was discussing with the wife this morning when she mentioned that one of the nurses (a bloke) she works with revealed he was an anit vaxxer but also made various QAnon sympathetic statements.
The world is truly mad.
@Octavian and I do love the all encomapssing "They're" yet forgetting that, even in the relatively short time I have been visiting (or infecting as some would see it) your board, that the mods here have removed quite a few "close to the bone posts". I seem to recall one from a someone who posted not too long ago making reference to the holocaust. So there are mad posts everywhere and some forums do seem to draw those posts out.
Not sure that you have a small squad, as all prem teams have their first team squads. What I see City as having done is look at the squad as a whole. Looked to balance it, have quality throughout rather than prioritising one area. Not spending huge huge sums on single players but getting quality throughout to ensure that you have two players in every position. That 50-60 mill bracket that hopefully means you get quality but not breaking the bank or being held to ransom. I know City fans love to hate TAA and Robertson and whilst I think they are great for us and do the job required. I do look covetously as Cancelo. 58mill and a player who can do anything.
I have said it before that FSG need to look at City and realise that your model works and it is something that needs to be copied. By not doing that we get the situation that has appeared over the last couple of weeks.
