They've still got a lot of deadwood to clear out. If I were a rag, at a minimum I'd look to chop:

De Gea
Jones
Lingard
Bailly
Mata
Matic
Dalot
Pereira

The only one I can see getting a fee of over 20 mill is JLingz, on the basis of his eternal youth.

Just terrible squad management post Slurgie, really.
One slight tweak..........
 
Don't forget the books for those too poor to use a free library.
His own reading has come on tremendously since he started reading what he wrote in his own autobiography.
I hear he's on Janet and John book 3 now without the pictures so he's coming along very nicely. Although he still doesn't know how to spell diving ****
 
This breed have an obsession with the claim that we simply buy through numerous flops until we finally get someone decent through blind luck and probability.

They're still regularly bringing up the 2014 signing of Mangala as proof of this, and he's one of the more recent ones. That was 7 years ago. The same year they brought in Falcao, Di Maria, Herrera, Blind and Rojo amongst others...

During Peps reign, we've had an abnormally brilliant period of successful signings, there's only really Mendy that's cost big and hasn't worked out and that's largely down to the multiple ACL injuries nobody could have predicted. Bravo too can be on that list although we didn't break the bank for him. it's hard to name any other flops since Pep. Even players that didn't stay long played their part before moving on for good money. The likes of Danilo played his part before being sold for a profit, Sane was brilliant before being sold for a profit. Yes we've spent a lot, just like most other sides near the top but since Pep has come in, there's not a single club that's spent better than we have yet these deluded fucks think we just sign flop after flop.

Their views on Kane are a great read. they're trying to decided between themselves which of their cast offs (definitely not flops, because as we've just established they don't make poor signings) they can dump on Spurs for Kane.

They're doing the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting loudly and completely ignoring Kane's words. The guy could not have made it any clearer he wants City. Talked about how he's going to be watching other English clubs in the champions league final wanting that to be him (not the europa league final) recently talked up Foden, talked about wanting to win league titles, (the last time united won the league, 9 years ago, Kane was a kid on loan at Norwich) and if that wasn't enough he went and name checked KDB as somebody he wants to play with. short of him doing an interview in a city top he couldn't have made it any more clear he wants City. I would have thought they'd be in full "didn't want him anyway, greenwood is twice the player anyway" mode by now.
They could still get Jordan Ibe and Jaden Sancho. World beaters both

Good post.

I still don't want Kane.
 
Too expensive, too injury prone, too old, too dirty and I don't like the cut of his jib.

100M (ish) for the best striker in the league,aged 27,and playing on average 33/34 Prem games a season for the past 7 years suggests otherwise.

I ain't keen on his antics either though,the dirty stuff and cheating needs to be toned down a good deal.

Cheers for reply.

You're welcome.

But he'll be 28 in July and 100M (ish) is stupid money, even pre-covid, now it's a joke.

Haaland and Kane can only command what the market will pay, I get the distinct feeling the media are trying to bounce us in to a deal for Kane, because no one else has the funds, I'm always a bit suspicious when that happens, but it'll not work, we're either in for him or we're not, and Levy and the media talking heads can go swivel for their 100M.

Most of the players who've rocked up at the Etihad I knew little about, beyond YouTube clips and the press, but I've seen and read my fill on Kane and on a visceral level I don't like him and I don't want him in a City shirt.

But you completely forgot to factor in the romance of playing for united and the little boy inside him.

Music to my ears - I thought I was the only one.

I've never thought he would be any good for a Pep-style team, he seldom puts a shift in and tends to go for glory rather than the bigger picture. And as it's been mentioned many times before he's a cheat. His constant backing into players is going to cause someone a serious injury one day. It's despicable the way he glances over his shoulders to see where the defender is and deliberately forces the poor sod into performing some kind of limbo dance - the full weight of the çunt on him. He could snap an opponent's spine like that, shatter it so badly that the man's career is not only finished but that he could be carried home in a bucket.
