Transfer Strategy

[Gabriel]

Assuming we don’t now sign a striker this summer, and we can rule out going for Haaland, then what will have changed next year? Delap will be a year older and Torres may have taken to the position, but other than that nothing. We’re basically saying there’s nobody out there that’s good enough this summer— outside of the super expensive- and if they aren’t good enough this year, they probably won’t be any better next. Interesting decision, and Guardiola now has to work wonders with the team and pray that injuries can’t be kept at bay.

we have made zero offers for a striker this summer! This isn't a case of "no right deal were out there", we were just COMPLETELY asleep!


Okay? And would you say that the rags have competent people running their club? no! of course not, so what does that have to do with how massively we fucked up this summer?

You don't put offers in for players unless you know its going to be accepted. We clearly never felt we were in that final position.

No, they have clowns. Do you want clowns who win fuck all like the rags or "clowns" like we have who have delivered 2 prems in 3 years?

It's been an absolute shambles and the club seriously need to sort itself out.

They've let their talisman go in Sergio, haven't replaced him. They've still got a glaring issue at LB which is compounded by Mendy and the court case.

Its been a fucking appalling window. Grealish is a great player, but £100m wasn't needed on him when the squad is imbalanced.

board are lucky its guardiola in the dugout and not your normal manager. If we had normal level manager then the board would be really exposed with their approach.

“We lose a very important legend in Sergio Aguero. They are very hard shoes to fill, but I'm confident that we will find the right player to fill those shoes."

That is not a promise, he said he was confident.

We tried to go for the best striker in the country, didnt work out. Shit happens.

What about the strategy of waiting til the last week of the window before moving on to an alternative?

Our trophies are down to Guardiola. With Pellegrini as coach we saw how it went with the Catalans.

you're so hellbent on defending this shamble of a summer transfer window.. and for what? are you seriously suggesting we've done well this summer

What about it? Pep seemingly made it very clear, Kane or no one. Kane collapsed and Ronaldo just happened to come on the market. Ronaldo isn't signing so we continue as we are.

Our trophies are down to Guardiola. With Pellegrini as coach we saw how it went with the Catalans.

Is that not why we pay him the most?

Id be fucking furious if he couldn't manage better than Pellegrini.

 

[Coatigan]

don't fucking hell me. look at the week's fiasco. Again, if it happened to the rags you'd be raving about how unserious whoever is running them must be. give me a break!

I can't believe the shitshow inability to sign a top player. And how OK they are with it.

Pep repeatedly says what he needs, how he needs to refresh, how they have a duty to improve etc..And what do they do, fanny about.

The best manager out there, clearly willing to stay here if things are going well, and he doesn't get the support needed. Particularly with everyone strengthening a lot.

Never said we did well.

I am clearly just living in the real world, unlike many on here.

City have always done their best transfer business on the quiet.
