I always feel there's something missing in the lives of football fans who populate the forums of clubs other than their own. Are you lonely? Do you have no friends or family? Are Spurs fans not much fun to correspond with? What is missing from your life? (other than Kyle Walker).

There really is nothing else on this earth that brings out the bitter people than City signing someone. BBC comments section, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Newspapers, TV Pundits. You name it and there are no shortage of people queuing up to lay into City whenever they sign someone, especially if we have the audacity to sign that player from another Prem League team.
You'd think they'd have got over it now, with it being 9 years since we got taken over but there are still people who just can't get over us being a big club.

Although i have been critical of Kyle, must say i am quite excited by this transfer. Am sure he'll fit the team, like a glove.

We've always been a big club. Just not a very good one until relatively recently.

Let's not get into soothsaying now.
History repeats itself......... You nearly won the PL but not quite
He'll get on well with Sterling then.
balloon moon you saw me standing alone

It is jealousy of course (Chelsea and United also suffer from this) but there is an element of City's support who lack grace and humility and have forgotten how things once were.

I think you might strain to.You can't beat a good number 2...

If other clubs fans are going to come on here and antagonise people, acting holier than thou, they deserve what they get.

Get in
Perhaps our failed attempts at signing Dani Alves was for the best and have got things motoring again

Brilliant! Welcome Kyle.
So, when does he get his season-ending injury?
Can't help feel like we have been bent over with the fee, as there will be no sell on after 5 years, and without a suitable back up (yet?!) it would be typical City to have Lukaku do him in Houston.
Here's hoping he just keeps on keepin' on and does the same kind of business for City as he did for Spurs, with a little sprinkle of Pep magic on him for good measure, of course.
I think that if we can get Mendy in, keep Kompany fit, and not have any really serious injuries to the likes of Silva, KDB, Fernandinho/Gundogan and Aguero, then there is nothing and no-one to fear in the League this year. Now, it is all down to a system that scores goals against the 90+ minutes of 11 vs 8 in their half of the field!
Best of luck, Kyle! Work your socks off, track back, beat the first defender and curl the ball between to keeper and the penalty spot and you will become an instant hero! Oh, and getting a few cuts/bandages to the head and putting a winger or two into the stands won't harm your legacy, either!!

great buy, homegrown, wife and mum wanted him to move back north, fully 7 years younger than alves, and weakens a rival!
anybody know if that old tweet from the unverified account was even made by him?

Great signing, much required and has the added value of height, no more back post free headers against us, I hope.

Nice to have you here, Kyle. Now... show us what you've got, you glorious bastard.
Serious mode; I'm not going to lie, I think we've overpaid. Thirty five million player, boosted by the ever-present English premium, Levy being Levy, and our weak bargaining position (both first team right backs released prior to signing their replacements, and limited non-national slots available on the squad register).
However, he was the best in his position in England last year, seems to be a Pep type player, and has been a crucial part of one of the league's best defences over the last two seasons, so it's damned nice to see him aboard regardless.
Also, Spurs fans are usually quite level headed, so I don't expect too many tedious "Trippier is miles better anyway" comments, nor endless booing at their gaff. Both sides appear to have got what they wanted here.
Plus, it's Friday, and the weather outside is lovely. Why grumble? Have a pint and a pie. You'll thank me later.
