Eh?
We've been left with an unfit, unhappy, troublesome player.
If anyone's been taught a lesson it's us, sadly. We might've not caved into their terms, but we're left not able to add the one or two Mancini wants, as the FFP rules means we were living within our means in terms of fees this window.
It's a moral victory of sorts, but not a common sense one. We'd have been much better taking the £20m and investing it in two good but not extaordinary players who could make the difference over coming weeks.

Khaldoon has obviously taken over any transfer dealings and he seem to be doing brilliantly. Could he not be considered as a permanent replacement for Cook? Or would that be too much of a step down for him? Or maybe he wouldn't have the time for it.
i think khaldoon is fantasic for this club

We are prepared to wait whilst not paying him for as long as he is awol.
I think most fans had drawn the line and city have acted superbly.

Can you not adjust your squad at the end of January ? Window might be a bit pointless otherwise.
May be a limit on foreigners but they have time to sell one if they need ?

And, I still think he goes to Paris before Wednesday.

Agreed. He seems like a very smart, humble, common sense man...but we must remember that we're just one company of many amongst the Sheikh's portfolio. Khaldoon will have to represent his best interests throughout them, though MCFC may well be a bit more of a labour of love than certain otherer.

...that still doesn't solve the issue (and it is an issue more than a problem) of how we're going to add the couple of squad players Mancini says he needs without overspending now that we're into the evaluation periods for the FFP regulations.

Just a wild thought. Our owners had a word with PSG owners. Flush Milan out and so long as you still meet our asking price the competition is eliminated leaving the (occasional) player limited options ?
Just sayin' Just a wild thought.
