Why so much complaining?

[Rammy Blue]

Losing Isco was an amateur move. Someone on another forum correctly wondered how city let the u21 tournament start without tying him up. The tournament increased his value and attracted Madrid.

Also your overall (overall) eam is progressivelying getting worse. Replacing Tevez and Adam Johnson with inferior players and not replacing Balotelli are examples of that.

Cheers for your valued input.

Delighted with in comings and out goings so far. Add Negredo, Osvaldo, Pepe and Di Maria to that, along with a few more departures, then all is fine by me and we have a strong, balanced and experienced squad.

Big thumbs up.

I think most rational, pragmatic people are relatively content with the business done so far.

Very true, it's just a very small minority who are complaining

But they seem to have the loudest voices.... needy twats..

I've started to categorise those who are saying we've done fuck all, or those who continue to come across like spoilt twats. They're in the 'know fuck all about anything' category. I have to presume these 'fans' weren't around when we were gutted about Malbranque not signing, or Mido or if you want to go back to the really dark times, when Bob Taylor was the player to give us a glimmer of hope. They can't have been around then because if they were, they wouldn't be acting like the town slag who's just spilled all her tampons out onto the dance floor when we are linked with a £24m Spanish goal scorer. So yeah, they're in the 'know fuck all about anything' category.

So, how do you compete with Real Madrid? And a supposed €10m bung to Isco's dad?
To take it to the wire shows how far we've come as a force.

As for Tevez, he wanted out, was on silly money, saving us £27m that we could reinvest in a player who wants to be at City, shame he's gone, but football is as much about business, as it is football these days, especially with the FFP magnifying glass focused on us.

Adam Johnson was never the same after his injury, before, he was a breath of fresh air for us and England, and it was a shame he never recaptured that scintillating form, there were reports that the success went a bit to his head, and liked a bit of a drink.

The loss of these players, and weakness in other areas is being addressed, I'd argue that Navas is a definite upgrade on AJ, and his performances for Spain in the ConFed, and last season in LaLiga, where he provided the most goal scoring chances backs that up.
Fernandihno provides cover and support for Yaya, who showed fatigue at times last season, Negrado is a quality striker, his ability to link up with Navas will hopefully provide an instant rapport upfront, Navas and Silva are team mates for Spain, another instant rapport.

I'd argue that Pellegrini is addressing our weaknesses, and applying a considerable amount of thought, I'm happy with our signings, and can't argue the worth of spending silly money on Cavani, when FFP, and the alternative of Negrado who has an automatic understanding with Navas standing in the way at half the price.

agree with to much complaining!!

people seem to forget that we only finished 2nd last season and won it the year before. the team is strong and only needs tweaking not overhauling.

hart- best keeper in the league
Pablo- best rb
kompany - best cb
nasty- one of the best young players and will hav a big season
clichy- best Lb
silva- need I say anything
yaya- "
aguero- pure class
milner- great engine
dzeko- could be top scorer next season imho
guidetti- best young striker out there

I could go on.... add the 2 we've already signed plus a striker plus pellegrinni's more attacking style and we have a team to be feared!!!!

Agreed. Both incomings and outgoings so far have been excellent business, both in terms of playing strength and finances.

£30+ million for fernandinho definitely isn't 'excellent business'

How do you know?

Also to the poster who said losing out on Isco was 'amateur', who the fuck do you think we are? Billy big shot who can demand who we want? We weren't competing with some two-bob shitty club for him, we were competing with Real Madrid, and it's no shame in losing out to them on a player in the grand scheme of things.
