We could have made a decent title charge if kepa hadn’t already ruined our season and we bought a decent all round midfielder 

but which DMF?

no true class ones were really not there and available for a doable fee

MAYBE Brozovic, but Inter did not want to play ball (I think we tried to do a swap + cash deal with either Alonso or Emerson but that is pure rumour) and he is not a real cruncher

Lukaku at 27

he is so good now with it

That was purely driven by Antonio Conte, you can tell now more than ever why he wanted him here. Hes turned him into a very rounded player.

At least I won't be too upset if we lose today since City are wobbling this season and no other big team looks great yet. None of the big boys look consistent at all. 

None of them look consistent which is why getting a result today v United is paramount. We only have 8 points after 5 games.

he may have some future hot streaks, but he likely is done and dusted as an everyday great EPL CF (he is a cunt but was a monster for ages)

Wouldn't be so sure. He has been an amazing player since he was about 23. Injuries obviously may slow him down a bit but I think many people thought he wouldn't improve under Pep and again he's taken his game another level in my eyes and they are still a totally different team without him. I think he is the sort of guy who could drop back and play as a second striker/10 for a few years (like Tevez did) also because he is so potent outside the box and his linking up and ability to spot passes is vastly underrated. I know he doesn't get a lot of assists but he definitely isn't capable. Or even playing upfront in a 2 man partnership with a bigger guy like Pellegrini had him do at City. Still gutted we never got him back in whenever it was. Criminal really. If the whole JT story is true, which I doubt, its even more criminal...
