I’ve always backed Txiki and his signings. Occasionally, some are inevitable going to flop a la Mangala and Mendy. But generally he has brought in top young talent for reasonable fees.
Major Successes:
Fernandinho
Sterling
de Bruyne
Gündogan
Stones
Jesus
Sané
Walker
Ederson
Bernardo
Laporte
Dias
Additionally the likes of Rodri and Cancelo are finding their feet and are starting to look like top players, the likes of Douglas Luiz, Kelechi Iheanacho, Aaron Mooy made us significant profit, and the likes of Ferrán Torres, Nathan Aké and Zack Steffen have significant potential.

Replacing Kompany was never going to be easy and by all accounts we have had deals in the fire for one for multiple windows. Ever considered Pep turned them down? Txiki isn't making these players himself. He can only bring them to the table and Pep signs them off.Nope. I think it’s been poor.
We didn’t replace Kompany when he left for over a year. Only now they’ve finally sorted the CB issue out.
Left back is still a huge issue and it has been for years.
Rodri replacing Fernandinho is criminal. Huge huge downgrade. Who scouted him and said, Yes, he’d be perfect to do that role like Fernandinho did, offer 70m...
Mahrez has not fitted in the way we play and thus played a part in Sane leaving. We didn’t need Mahrez when we already had Bernardo, Sane and Foden. 60m could have gone to a LB or CB at that time.
Im also not happy we have only an ageing Aguero and Jesus as our forwards. No forward planning again.
We will never achieve the highest prizes with a Rodri Gundogan centre midfield. Even after today with everyone happy and Gundo doing well for 3 games they are not good enough if you want to be the very best.
We want to be the best. The top club in world football.
We as fans should hold decisions accountable.
It’s not spoilt or big time to expect the very best for us.
Have the winning mentality as a fan. Only accept the best.
....And for me our decline in the last 2 years is because of decisions off the pitch. We could have achieved so much more on top of the amazing success we’ve already had. Peps working wonders. Others off the pitch, for me, not so....
