Still winning league 4 out 5.

Yep, City want to be seen to be doing things the right way.

Still winning league 4 out 5.

I knew some berk would say this.

So what?

Despite, not because of transfer fuck ups in that position, forcing the manager to make wacky make-do-and-mend decisions.

To some extent it is and has to be, but then there are occasions when you know you are going to have to extend yourselves to get what you need in a difficult, competitive and scarce market place. Then lick your wounds and cut your cloth afterwards - but at least you've hot what's needed. All within reason of course - as I think rhis was.

Depends what.importance those who aoorove a BP give to the item I suppose.
If bonuses come out of the profits and an asset is bought for 10 or 15 million more than budget would you go outside of the BP?
After all the BP was originally prepared by the negociatons then approved so saying sorry I was wrong by millions of pounds may not be fully understood by those who put their trust in them.
Again, maybe certain situations may allow for overspend but owners are likely to say OK but at your risk to be seen if it os worth it at bonus time.

He might turn down Chelsea which could force Brighron back into negotians with City.

Oh, did I mention that he too is a La Masia graduate?

He's been getting hawked around for about 20m as he's out of contract next summer, I believe... May need to check on that...

The only thing I can’t fathom is the selling of Zinc before any LB was confirmed.

Any decent club would have the foresight for it and this is City, juggernaut of a football club who is ran excellently by few people should have not sold Zinc.

So it’s a mistake and let’s move on from there.
It would have been totally fine if we would go back to Zinc and say Dude Cucu deal ain’t happening. We will depend on you for this season too. A professional and lovely you like Zinc would have agreed and we would have been fine.

This no left back situation with the season to start is a bit tricky and I wouldn’t want Pep finite energy to be spent again on figuring out our left backs.

They aren't bullying us. We made our position very clear. I'm sure the yank thinks he's getting one over on us though.

He needs to be careful Tuchel already reported as being unhappy.
