I fear a lot of brave folk on here who are congratulating City today will be looking a little at what might have been in the Spring.
We will win the league barring a disaster but I suspect not by as much as you think.
We may win a cup with luck.
But no way stretched as we are with inevitable further injuries and limited rotation are we going to seize perhaps the only ever chance of a quadruple.
This signing might have been the difference and I think Pep knew that.
But if we knew they wanted £90 m yesterday (and we all did on here so it was not a secret) playing it out as we have is bemusing and leaving Mahrez bereft like Sanchez was last day of the last window leaves an image that will stick in players heads.
Not to our long term advantage.
