The world's greatest player, next Ballon D'or winner, and he who is awaiting anointment as Player of the Year, Bruno the Great, has the following outstanding stats (lol):

Against Chelsea: 20 Possessions lost (most in game), 4 dribbled past (equal most in game), 1 chance created, 0 shots on target, 0 take-ons completed.

Against the "Big Six' this season: 7 games, 1 goal, no assists.

Against Crystal Palace: Gave the ball away more times than any other Rag player in the first half.

In his favour, however: He registered the most penalty shouts against Crystal Palace (lol).

I haven’t seen it mentioned, but City has never been a team to go and buy very expensive players. Pogba was the highest priced Premier League signing ever, according to Transfermarkt. The rags have the top 3 spots and arse, dippers and chelsea all have bigger signings than our most expensive - KdB at £68.4 million (thought is was a lot less, like £50). Pogba was 40% more expensive!

We have filled our team with quality signings that satisfy certain criteria, of which fame seems to be of little consequence. Paying what dippers did for van dijk was foolish and demonstrates the short term thinking of their management. A big, strong pacey Cb in his late twenties for that price is just asking for what happened to happen.

It’s like these dumb fucks don’t understand that when you buy a player at 26/27 they’re a depreciating asset. When you buy them at 23, there is potential for their value to meaningfully increase. How this is lost on them is beyond me.
Amazingly Camel Gob is still on that list at #41 from 18 years ago.
