Yes players signing know our ambition. Missing out would be a blip and we’ll back in the CL in no timeWe signed Yaya and Dave without CL football
Two of the greatest players in our history
We now have Pep and 15 years of dominance in the best league in the world behind us

So football hasn't changed in the last 10yrs?Based on what as we’ve been in the CL for 10 years.Anyway we’ll be in it next year, so it doesn’t matter.
I think Bah will be loaned out for another year. Doubt stones will leave.
how is Grealish getting more than Bernardo? Huh???Just over. Reported wages are 400/300/350.
Not only good for new signings but extending players as well.
New deal for Rodri has been in the works for a while and Foden as well apparently.
Agree think Bah might even get a prem move. That was the original plan according to reports.I think Bah will be loaned out for another year. Doubt stones will leave.

Just had a look and got it slightly wrong with Jack. He’s on 300, same as Bernie. Villa offered him 350 to stay apparently.
Jack came in as the £100m player with a lot of deals off the pitch as well so makes sense. Bernie was on 150 and didn’t sign a new deal for a while because of the constant rumours he’d be going and when he re signed they doubled his pay as a big reward.
Pure speculation ,a lot of noise about him going to Spain in the last few days and as said if we can get our money back I think he goes.Have you been told this by Viana or someone at the club ?
Or your opinion
Not sure he will ever get better, I like the guy but he is so unpredictable and he does not score , assist enough and the big issue too many muscle injuries.

Yes please!
Bilbao could probably pay him a good wage as well as they are paying Nico top money
Sadly strongly linked with the Arse!Bilbao could probably pay him a good wage as well as they are paying Nico top money

Yes a bit, one of the biggest changes City have become one of if not the best and most successful teams in Europe. A team most players want to play for.So football hasn't changed in the last 10yrs?

Not sure they do the wage to be honest mate. They will lose a lot of players but most were on loan or will leave for free? I genuinely think City are trying to get shareholder loans back dated with interest on APT ruling hence why it’s taking so long? We need to be arrogant in a way this summer with transfers? Smash every fucker with price and wages who we want

We are going to lose a lot of big wages and we won't be paying any huge performance bonuses this year sadly but failure to get into the CL would be a massive blow both in finance and prestige.

I wonder how fast we will move on transfers? If we will have anyone in before the club World Cup as if a few are wanting out, KDB needing a new club etc then we aren’t going to risk their futures/or injuries at this tournament so will need some incomings in the first week of June?

True but if we do well at this club World Cup then that may make up the deficit? Didn’t stop the dippers for one year either being out of it?
