By Laboured Go To PostYeah, seems like Sanchez would definitely turn around and sign a bumper deal at this point.Levy won't allow it, m9.
By Laboured Go To PostYeah, seems like Sanchez would definitely turn around and sign a bumper deal at this point.If it was 400k a week, you think he'd say no? At some point money does trump titles.
By Cleff Go To PostNewcastle had a tragic summer. Still.have all their Championship players who aren't quite good enough for the PL and signed a few players who just barely good enough to be in the league.fixed
Rafa will be #stresseating.
By Dan Go To PostThe back pages pretty much blame Arsenal for the Sanchez fiasco.
Looks that way, doesn't it.
"In carefully working to make sure all was going to be in order over the past few weeks, Manchester City took every precaution in order to sign Alexis Sanchez - except, it seems, the most important precaution of all: making sure there was enough time for the now-failed £60m deal for the Chilean to be satisfactorily completed.
One figure described City as generally behaving with “baffling arrogance” in that some of their hierarchy first presumed they could potentially get him for as little as £30m, and then taking so much time to put in a second bid this week.
It is certainly hard not to wonder why they left the entire push for the player so late."
Slightly covered up story but City are left with the same CBs and CMs as last season and that means their title bid is in pretty serious doubt.
"City have failed to land their top target, the forward that was supposed to complete - and enhance - all their business, and who they prioritised at the expense of other important positions like central midfield that were left for later windows."
I am enjoying this now.

Well yeah it does.

Dembele, Lemar and Ozil would help Barca's attack more than their current offerings but midfield though.

Reckon your board could get well used to this relegation thing.

Marc Wilson. Fucking helll good luck
By Wengward Go To PostOzil at Barca would be beautiful.
Who would you replace him with?
By KP Go To PostMarc Wilson. Fucking helll good luck
Always thought he's alright tbh. One of the dying breed of utility players.
Fuckin' love a utility player at Sunderland. They save so much money.
By Laboured Go To PostWho would you replace him with?
What do I care. I am a Barca fan now.
Iwobi, Jeff, Ramsey, Jack
Sheik Mansour "Tells Man City fans to be patient because they'll soon be involved in the biggest transfer in the history of football"
What was all that about then 🤔🤔
Imagine saying that before being adamant you're getting the player

Matt Law saying Barkley still wants to reconsider joining Chelsea in January. Sounds like he is going to be out injured until around then anyway so not a big loss if we get him then but TBH I have never rated him.
I am dissapointed that we have somehow managed to end up with such a thin squad despite having 60 players on loan. Really bad planning all round.

By Laboured Go To PostSlightly covered up story but City are left with the same CBs and CMs as last season and that means their title bid is in pretty serious doubt.This. Club seems to be ok with the CM situation but we're fucked at the back. Injury to Kompany and we're left with Stones, Otamendi and Mangala. What the actual fuck are we gonna do with them? Concede a tonne of fucking goals thats what. Ederson better be on his fucking game. Maybe Danilo can magically play CB.
Farhad Moshiri, Everton's majority shareholder, says a £35 million fee for Barkley was agreed with Chelsea but he decided to pull out at the last minute.

All I can say is this is by orders of magnitude the worst midfield Pep has ever had, and that is generally the area of the field that his teams need to dominate. City's CMs can't defend or attack to a decent level.
By Laboured Go To PostAll I can say is this is by orders of magnitude the worst midfield Pep has ever had, and that is generally the area of the field that his teams need to dominate. City's CMs can't defend or attack to a decent level.Definitely. We need at least 2 in next summer. If anything happens to Fernandinho we're in serious trouble.
By Auto Simeone Go To PostSwansea are gonna finish top 4Don't jinx it!! Finishing mid table would be more than enough for the fans after last season.
Here is hoping that we don't sign any big names so the vote of no confidence have a better change of success.
Incompetence of this board is just too much to handle already.

When Wengy takes over you're going to miss Valverde and co.
I'm not entirely displeased with the window. Could have been better, could have been much much worse.
Mahrez tried to force a move Odemwingie-style, by the sounds of it.
Doesn't look like that one panned out.

By Wengward Go To PostDebuchy is still at Arsenal.
£20 million for Chambers.
Bony's chant is fucking great. Hopefully he gets his career back on track.
Another window, another defensive signing missed. We're fucked if Matip picks up an injury.
