Exactly. Is it likely, is it even remotely possible, that the professionals at our club who have delivered the most successful decade in our club's history, are unaware of issues being highlighted by football fans posting on a football forum? The club are on it and will deliver top quality additions, just not on a timeline that will keep the needy twats posting on this forum satisfied but who cares about them anyway?

Too early to say and difficult to assess. A couple of wins against the weakest team and ten-man Arsenal don’t tell us much. We still have a handful of players who until a few weeks ago were unhappy and wanted out. They are all getting game time and appear happier, but Guardiola, who mentioned earlier about working with a smaller group, now has the task of keeping as many of them game sharp as possible and keeping an even bigger squad harmonious.

Ideally we could have done with a striker but there weren't really that many available that would have been better than using the players that we already have, so if we couldn't get the right person in I'm glad we didn't just buy for the sake of it.
I'm glad Bernardo, Jesus & Laporte didn't leave.
I think Grealish will be a really good player for City, so I'm pleased we got him in.
Overall I don't think it's been too bad. I wouldn't have minded Kane but he was simply not worth the money Spurs wanted.

I still believe that any team who finishes above us would be crowned champions.

Yep - sadly - entitled seems an appropriate description - and that irks because it is how (those that of my generation) used to consider the 'followers' of the rags and dippers to behave back in the day.This place has become so entitled since the CL final. Go and do a position by position comparison of our squad and Chelsea or United's, we are miles ahead in all but the striker position.
People have convinced themselves that we don't have the best squad in England and possible the world. To improve on that is very difficult as the pool of players to choose from is very small and very expensive.
Yes, we all want a new striker but I agree with other posters who say there is no point rushing in and getting a makeshift answer who will need replacing in 1/2 years themselves.
We had arguably our best ever season without a striker so can cope another year without one. Especially if that wait results in signing someone who sorts that position for the next 5/6 years.
7/10 for me.
Still - thankfully it is not too many and I guess it is the price of success
Can't argue much with this tbh. Pep will still favour Sterling on the left, but more competition from the acquisition of Jack is a good thing for meI went 8. Most of what I wanted I got.
- I wanted the "Sterling on the left wing" problem fixed. Done.
- I wanted to keep Bernardo in the center because he's awesome there. Done.
- I wanted to keep Laporte so it's rare that 2 great CB can't play. Done.
- I didn't want to spend a ludicrous amount on Kane. Done.
- I still wanted a striker. Kane preferably if the money wasn't too silly. Not done.
- I wanted a better LB than Mendy. Not done.

Without a new striker and a genuine LB the squad will all need to be on their game throughout a long season.
I think Raheem needs to raise it when called apon as I still believe we carried him for a lot of last season.
Anyway no transfer window now for a few months so time to leave the circus and get back to being Champions

The following is completely made up.
Details emerging of our transfer strategy for Kane.
Somewhere in Eastlands, Pep, Soriano, Khaldoon and Txiki are in an office looking out onto Asda's car park.
Khaldoon; now that's what I call a "big Window".
Soriano; So Txiki, I take it you've done all the groundwork, paved the way and Kane will be ours?
Txiki; OH yes, nothing can go wrong. I left a message for Levy 4 weeks ago.
Soriano; Excellent, are you ready to make the call?
Txiki; Just let me finish my coffee cup.
Txiki picks up the phone ..... ring ring ring ring.
Answer Machine; Hello me old china you are through to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
Txiki; Hello this is Tkiki Begiristain, Director of All Football at Manchest Un ... er City.
Answer Machine; Press 1 for hospitality..2 for the cheese room, ..3 for the trophy room , just joking, the club shop..4 for Gazza's bar..5 for fck off Manchester City..6 we're never selling Harry Kane...7 for Daniel Levy.......alternatively you can hold for the rest of your life for Manchester City Ticket Office and Customer Support.
Txiki: er.....What shall I press?
Khaldoon; 2! er no I mean 7 - I went to Tufts you know.
Hands Free; "Hello this is Daniel Levy."
Txiki; Hi Daniel it's me, Txiki.
Hung up ringtone blares out BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP etc
Txiki; (in best Alan Partridge) Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, DAN !!!
Soriano; (sighs) it wasn't like this at Spanair.
Khaldoon; (sighs) it wasn't like this at Tufts, I went there you know.
Pep; I'm so so happy.

Kept our most important players from last season AND added Grealish into the mix. Solid window.
Aguero's injury at Barca sadly proves us right in letting him go.
Getting a top striker was our number 1 dealing though, that would have made it a 10.
Every other position is stacked.
