Entirely possible we don’t get 10/10 things right !I agree , our managent is pure shite.

I refuse to believe they thought Kovacic would be the answer to losing the creative of Gundogan. I think he was coming in regardless because of his versatility and the fact that Phillips has been useless
Not criticising Txiki by the way, but whatever makes you get more likes on a forum fella.
Just stating facts... There are players on the market that are far more attainable.
Can't see us going over 80m for him and West Ham ain't selling him for less than 80m.

The viciousness here may not represent terrace behaviour, but it is deeply unpleasant. As for being influenced by Pep, he is not averse to public criticism of players, occasionally, but he does give second chances. Changing minds should not be needed for a player who has hardly played.Nobody has done anything but support Phillips on his rare outings. People criticise him because they have eyes. They are also influenced by the manager, who openly criticised Phillips for coming back from Qatar overweight. This forms the basis of the view that Phillips does not have the mentality to play at a club like City. All of the other observations about his demeanour and body language since Pep's criticism are predicated on the belief that he's not good enough nor serious enough. Until he starts performing well, he will not change many minds.
As for Gomez, it's less about attitude and mentality, and more about the fact that he isn't a very good left-back. He does, rightly, get more slack from the fans than Phillips. His professionalism has never been called into question.
To be fair I want the player like any City fans but here are the facts, WH paid 51 million for a 5 year Contract and he wants out after year 1.I haven't, but I am privy to both ends of this deal. The player will force the move and some.
Sullivan says he wants more than £70m, which already betrays a willingness to sell.
His agent is former City player Barry Silkman, he knows West Ham are bluffing on this one and the player has made it clear all summer he wants to leave.
Coz he cost them 51. Txiki probably added 5 million for every year he had left. 4 years and reached a 71 million dollars eval.Any idea why we went straight in at £70m? Seems unlike us.
think this gets done @ £75m
