Isn't that what you're supposed to do? All of the best teams bring in replacements before their best players retire or leave. It allows you, ironically, to be in a position where you're not being taken to the cleaners like the rags.

Being a ruthless recruitment team (which, luckily includes manager Pep - it doesn't always happen at top teams) is very important to continuing success. Letting key players go at the right time is crucial.
The GPC did it for so many years at MUFC, building a few excellent teams.
However, he discarded his lauded ways, by hanging onto Scholesy & Bryan Briggs for too long. He left them in a terrible state, perhaps because David Gill was leaving too ? Perhaps due to his ego ?
Klopp at LFC has also been reliant and "too loyal" by hanging onto Henderson, Milner, Fabinho and perhaps Salah, too long.
If say, KDB left, I'm sure City's magic recruitment triangle would get an able replacement...

Gobby ****.
Mardarse ****.
Bitter ****.
Dressed like a ****.

He's the loudest nobhead in the pub, the bolshy nobhead on a vlog, the one gobshite in work telling everyone nobody can touch the rags when in fact they are shite.

He reminded me of that person who turns up at a party thinking he's jonny ten potatoes when in fact nobody can stand the sight or sound of him.

This video is gold, the prick embarrassing himself on international TV when he thought he was the bollocks.

Can't stop laughing.

I felt sorry for Henry. You can see he was embarrassed by this broadcasting car crash.

My favourite thing about all of these “Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern can’t compete with unrestrained, unlimited financial power” articles is that they completely ignore the fact that multiple levels of financial accounting and spending rules were devised and implemented—mostly at the demand of the clubs referenced—specifically to restrain and limit our spending and finances.

They are laughable bad faith arguments meant to distract from the fact that all of those clubs employed similarly high spending for decades before City won the lottery, and most continue to spend as much or more than us today.

And several only have that financial power because of similar massive cash injections (United, Liverpool, Chelsea), government subsidy (Real Madrid, Barca), and/or their leagues allowing them to have a near monopoly on talent (Bayern, Real Madrid), which includes allowing them to tap up the beat players to sign them on frees after they run out their contract, with no independent compensation determinations or regulatory intervention.

This is not about “financial doping”, as if there is such a thing we only adopted the program originated by the other dominant clubs in world football.

This is about the established order pushing against the tides of change and weaponising captured media and governing bodies to try to stop it.

But, as the old saying goes, they’re just pissing in to the wind.

And, once more, they know it. This is them raging against the dying of their light.

It makes me laugh all this talk of cheating. A few financial irregularities, if proven, isn't cheating. For me cheating is collusion to rush a whole set of complicated rules in place to stop a team from challenging, when before we could teams could spend what they liked.

yeah, and all this shit about unlimited resources too - if that were the case, we'd have a team full of galacticos; instead, with the exception of a few e.g. Robinho, Adebeyour, Sterling and Haarland all our signings have been relatively low key - and certainly attainable for other premier league sides if they had gone for them instead of us.
