Mate, City have been perfectly planning for over a decade.
If people actually think this I don't know what to say.
We spent 10 years positioning ourselves to get Messi, then ignored him the 1 year he was available to sign Harry Kane, who we didn't sign. Does that sound like perfect planning to you?
If we'd gone into the window only wanting Grealish, I would have been fine.
The problem is very publicly going after targets and very publicly failing.
