Transfer Strategy

[Gabriel]

The problem is false 9 worked and was a revelation in the premier league at the time and worked for us. Unfortunately it’s not a surprise anymore and it’s predictable and the good teams have worked out how to play against us when we do it.
without a striker they know there is no alternative to plan for .

also we are not playing the teams in the premier league last season we are playing the teams this season who have improved their squads and teams . It will be a lot closer this season Without us improving our forward options.

excited by grealish but it does not improve the areas where we are weakest.

The weaknesses in the system also became apparent once crowds were back in the ground; they won’t allow their teams to sit back and allow us to put on our Haarlem Globetrotters act, unfortunately.

Sam is a rag. Poll and Martin said city had never agreed personal terms with ronaldo

That’s an article written by multiple journalists talking about a deal that nobody on here saw coming.

In my opinion it seems we are in damage limitation on this one. Combined with Mendy the last 24 hours have been a total mess.

Made up crap. Not falling for it again.

We bid, we didn’t bid..blah blah blah.

Twitter is spin without facts but gossip from Twatter to twatter.

I can only go by Pep. Ronaldo wanted United. The rest is…jhgjuytresvbjjfer.

Multiple journalists close to pep have written we didn't have personal term agreed with him. When he saw United jumping in to offer the wages and transfer fee , he jumped in.
I will believe those journalists close to pep than a rag

Well that’s Mendez and City’s relationship broken then

Not a chance it's broken. We should never deal with him again. He completely used the club and made us look like fools.

However the club are soft when it comes to stuff like that, just like they are with journalists who continually slag us off.

We also have lots of Mendes players at the club. Txiki et al, need him to get transfers done as they seemingly struggle without him.

Well if city actually came out and debunked these sort of social media transfer frenzy where they use city because they KNOW we will not put out anything to stop it in its tracks! Sorry city you got start setting the narrative not keep getting taking the piss out of us! It’s like we gone back in time and it’s Swales running the show!

 

[GaudinoMotors]

So just to recap :-
Messi's gone to PSG.
Lukaku's gone to Chelsea.
Ronaldo's gone to United.
Kane's stayed at Spurs.
Mendy's gone to Strangeways.

crowds? lol that is hmm an interesting theory, guess peps barcelona would have 90% possession without crowds then. whatever the sily correlation is

Just a quick question(s)

has our strategy failed us so far ?

any reason why it might fail in the future ?

Does anyone have any concerns that we won’t be able to compete in the short , medium and long term?

tranquilo

Only if you believe Sam Lee’s version of events. I do not recall, at any time, anyone from City saying we were interested in Ronaldo. It was all press conjecture.
