(Sheikh Mansour) Stuff The Lot Of Them!

Save your money Sheikh Mansour. Tell Khaldoon, Bobby, and Marwood there will be no more new players.

I'm f***ing sick of football clubs ripping us off still. Thinking we are still a transfer cash cow for them to milk. (if Levy would have gone for Sinclair, Swansea would have sold him by now at an acceptable price)

It's the same with clubs in Europe. Once City roll into town for a player, the price goes up by......(fill in as appropriate)

Well get to f*** the lot of you.

We've still got the team/squad to retain the title, as well as having a good go at winning the CL.

If not buying players in the current transfer window is the only way to show clubs across Europe we are no longer a club willing to pay vastly over the odds for a player, so be it. When the transfer window opens again in December and next Summer, perhaps normality and sensible transfer prices will resume where City are concerned. Bridge, Kolo, RSC, Johnson, De Jong, etc will also be gone, freeing up money.

The 4 year project on the pitch was achieved last season. We have a team/squad only bettered by a handful of clubs in Europe. There is absolutely no reason why this team/squad can't retain the PL title and have a real go at winning the CL.

Manchester thanks Sheikh Mansour.
 
Re: (Sheikh Mansour) Stuff The Lot Of Them!

What if we don't win the league again this season? Then we will have no choice but to strengthen and once again clubs will be able to hold us to ransom. We can't complain as we only really have ourselves to blame for the inflated prices on players whenever we go in for them. We can't risk not signing anyone and gambling on having as much luck this season as we did last season regarding injuries.
 
(Sheikh Mansour) Stuff The Lot Of Them!

Yep agree!

At the end of the transfer window if we haven't signed anyone else Mancini in his next press conference should just come out nice and calmly that clubs were asking to much just because we loaded so we bid what we thought was a reasonable amount of money and they all turned us down

I'll give you two reasons. Savic and Kolo.
 
Re: (Sheikh Mansour) Stuff The Lot Of Them!

There is always a good deal to be found... not every club will rip us off, especially for lower profile players. Hamburg didn't rip us off for Kompany, Espanyol didn't rip us off for Zabaleta. But because our coaching staff is Italian and of course us being an English club, nearly all of our targets seem to come from the two leagues with the stingiest owners/negotiators in football - the Premier League and Serie A. Message to City: Nearly every club in Spain is in crippling debt, the Spanish league is considered the second best in Europe.

Good post apart from the swearing, it's possible that is why we haven't gone all out to sign players this time, to show other clubs that we will walk away, could be playing the long game ??

Both those deals were pre-takeover though, hence the reasonable transfer fees.

(Sheikh Mansour) Stuff The Lot Of Them!

we don't have a squad to compete in PL *and* UCL, never mind domestic cups, need 2-3 players this week depending on Yaya's UCN decision. Of course clubs will value high for us.

therefore, I am out
 
Re: (Sheikh Mansour) Stuff The Lot Of Them!

It's like shopping on the meat market, the trader see's someone walking up who looks poor, screams at the top of his lungs the latest deals... 5x steaks for £5, 5 steaks for £5

This wealthy looking businessman with the top hat walks towards him and he quietly whispers: we have some sublime steaks here, £5 for one.
