His point was in response to you saying we were standing still. I'm not sure how pointing out we tried to buy Jorginho helps that position either?

We had deficiencies last season which need to be plugged. If all we needed was Mahrez, what was the Jorginho affair all about?
It’s this. The club identified Jorginho months ago so they obviously know the middle of the park needed strengthening. I’d guess city will play this all extememly close to vest to avoid a bidding war - that’s if they are when interested. Both players would improve the team but at what price?

Whatever. Well take this as clarification. We have deficiencies which need to be plugged, this window, the next or the one after that.Haha. Look back at your posts and you’ll see your first one of the day said about signing the 3 players THIS summer, however you’ve now shifted that.
You’re just full of shit. Simple.
That clearer for you?

The points I'm responding to is people saying our squad is OK as it is, but the fact we tried to sign Jorginho proves our management think differently.His point was in response to you saying we were standing still. I'm not sure how pointing out we tried to buy Jorginho helps that position either?
We have deficiencies in our squad which need to be addressed. Getting Alves on a free would have sorted our defence past summer, but he went to PSG instead which meant we were a LB & RB short for cover, so we got Danilo whose primarily a RB, but can play LB.
This was a risk worth taking until Mendy was ruled out for most of the season. Luckily for us we had Delph & Zinchenko who admirably stepped up & dug us out of a hole.
Delph did enough to save us going out to buy another LB, but even Pep said he didn't know how effective Delph could be at the time. Lesson learned.
All I'm saying is that with a potential 60 matches next season, we have Fernandinho as our specialist CDM & Delph, but many don't seem to rate Delph in that position if Dinho was out for a period of time.
We haven't replaced Yaya who was of little use to us last season, so all I've said is that we should do all we can, as quickly as we can to plug these obvious gaps. How & when to do this is bugger all to do with any of us. We're just the fans discussing our opinions & options on an internet forum. However some seem to think our summer recruitment policy is a matter of blummin life or death... Jeez!
I'm not referring to you when I said that last part mate... :-)

At what price? That's for Txiki, Soriano & Khaldoon to work out. I'm sure they're aware of what we need to do & what we have to do it, so we'll just have to wait & see.It’s this.

On another note, it's being reported Martial has asked to leave ManUre. I'd certainly put in a cheeky £30m bid for him as cover/competition for Sane. :-)

We would like to strengthen the squad in centre midfield as well, obviously.
So far, we have had to settle for merely strengthening the squad in attacking midfield/attack.

Why?
IIRC, there were rumours that he didn't want him at Barca.
If you reach for the stars & only hit the moon, isn't it better than only casting your ambitions as high as a tower block?
We went for all four trophies last season & achieved 50% of what we aimed for. Should we just try for 2 this coming season so we can manage expectations & disappointment?
You never listen to Pep last season then.
