I doubt we were in with a real shot. 

If we had met his release clause he would have the come the year before Citeh bought him, but we fucked about trying to get him on the cheap.

Throw on Adama and let him truck these cunts.

I usually don't blame board for transfers like others but Endrick and Gvardiol are definitely fuck up.

shit buys and loans: (not listing all of the youngsters who may end up bad buys as well)

Moisés Caicedo  (for the price)
Christopher Nkunku (if he is perma-damaged, and we bought him after he had a bad bad knee injury)
Axel Disasi 
Robert Sánchez 

Enzo Fernández  (for the price)
Mykhaylo Mudryk (mad price paid for his quality)
Wesley Fofana  (we bought a perma wrecked player for mad money, horrific buy all around, including the price)
Marc Cucurella  (for the price)
Raheem Sterling shit price, shit player
Kalidou Koulibaly 
Benoît Badiashile 
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 

and right before (under the Roman regime)

Romelu Lukaku  (arrrrrf)
Saúl Ñíguez Atlético  bad loan, cost over £10m counting his salary and fee

Didn’t we even agree terms with him? Swear we had a 3/4 here we go from Romano back in August of 2022. Just had to figure out price. 
 

Makes it all the worse that money went towards a certain CB earning 200kpw being in a hospital bed.

That is a dead set pass back. FUCK OFF.

It just feels inevitable with this city side.

What do you expect? Pep only goes to sides with unlimited bankroll and already the best talent base to begin with. City had the best talent in the league 3 or 4 years prior to him getting there. 

Then you add the BS allure he has built up, 100+ infractions for cheating, and you have a pretty good recipe for success.

Who cares about City? Really?

No one in all honesty. Stain on the league. Everyone knows they've cheated their way there, stacked talent, and just a crock of shit with the Pep dick sucking.

I'll always stand by what Klopp did with Liverpool being far more impressive. Tuchel came in and snatched his chain too. 6 months to do what he spent 7 years trying to do at City.

The only way I will truly care is IF they get away scot-free with those 100 plus infractions and yet we get seriously punished with points deductions (or force relegated, even worse) for what amounts to less than they did.

Gvardiol on a hat trick

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Go 3 nil up and bring on one of the most dangerous wingers in the league....absolutely insane.

[Thor 2,392]

No one cares about this nonsense City team like they did United, Liverpool, Chelsea, etc. 

 

Everyone knows they're cheating out their ass, but keep it moving because no one can be bothered kicking up a fuss.

they went all the way to CAS, and the court was rigged in their favour (the ridiculous 'time barred' bullshit) as 2 of the justices had Citeh/Abu Dhabi ties)

I covered that in immense detail back when that went down

now the FA is investigating them, for ages, but I am not holding my breath
