You do have some star players in you squad, particularly up front, and I like Wilson, but it will count for nothing if you don' sign a top quality central defender
The difference at city is you have a director of football, who was probably one of the factors to Mancini being sacked, but he was able to plough on and bring in his targets before Pelligrini had wiped the dust from his passport. This makes a huge difference in the transfer market. United are still a one man band in that respect, but we're not the only ones as many managers cannot operate with people tinkering with their plans, I think that LVG is one of those managers, he wouldn't accept a director of football standing over him.
I agree with the central defender. The clock is ticking on that one.
Perhaps this is why he looks a bit shell shocked, he is clearly used to having somebody look after certain aspects of the club.
Not some incompetent twat like Woodward who looks gobsmacked that he has managed to sign someone everytime I see a picture of him with a new player
