Can't even get what we paid for him.

a total waste of money

We bought Casadei, because that was the only way to get rid of Lukaku wages. He only wanted Inter and they didn’t want to pay anything. We picked a talented youngster to give them some money so they can give some of it back as a loan fee. One of these modern deals. 
 

City really are reminding me of our 2023 January window. Getting someone new every day. Hope it doesn’t work for them either.

Maresca didn't want KDH even though he coached him at Leicester?   

The only reason Tosin was signed was because he was an ex-City academy player (he had an offer from Newcastle which he declined once he spoke to Maresca)...similar reason to why Sancho was signed (ex-City academy player).

Will be the same for Kellyman (that random youngster we signed from Villa for FFP purposes) in 1-2 years time when he's sold to a Championship club for 500k + "future sell on clauses".

City are what we wish we were. We have been saying that for years and it’s true. 

Their first bad patch in a decade and they go out and buy 4 serious players. 
 

Look at us.. absolute shambles of a club. If we don’t get a striker or CB and bring back one of our midfielders in this window.. im done supporting this board. Time to start seeing the situation for what it is, a complete and utter disgrace of ownership.

Very different situation though, they are facing a situation more like what we faced at the end of the Drogba/Terry/Lampard era, where we had an insane squad that just happened to all be old 'all of a sudden'. We've got a very promising young team that is just supposed to get better. There situation cannot be ignored and it cannot be hoped that it will improve - without intervention, they are guaranteed to continue to seriously deteriorate. I'm sure they knew this was coming but thought they had another season or so.

That said I don't disagree that we should be trying to bring in some elite players into the XI asap, just think City's situation was actually far more desperate than ours. January not the best window for that but still, at least 1 - any elite striker or CB we can get ahold of.
