Pep tried to sign Fred and Maguire - chances are they’d be doing well for city if we’d got them because of our coaching compared to what United have got. I’d wager Pogba would be one of the world’s best midfielders if Pep could coach him for 3-4 seasons.
The United squad is incredibly talented; but they make everyone shitter after signing them.
Zaha, Di Maria, Depay, Kagawa, Pogba, Sancho, Martial, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Damian, Dalot, James, Fred, Sanchez, Bailly.
All signed for decent money or young and promising, and none were successes. some completely stunk the place up and left - and notably some have done very well again after leaving
I can only think of Fernandes doing well.
