Sané was not a good signing? Jesus weptThey've all been poor signings that he freely upgraded on and will upgrade on what's left. Not a single good signing there

No, they're top of the league and very likely to win the quadruple. Standard talking point on a football forumIt doesn't trouble me, it seemed to me on what you're posting on a basis when city are playing that they're a club living in your head rent free
Why did they sell himSané was not a good signing? Jesus wept
I think every one of them was poor and would have gone down as flops among United fans. Angelino was 10m or soTo be fair, Ake has been done with injuries. You cannot call him a flop if he has had like 3 starts this season which is his first in city. I don’t think Angelina cost them anything. Isn’t he one of their youth products? Danilo asked to leave and got replaced by Cancelo but was an okay back up to Walker before he left. Mendy was actually very good but got done by injury after injury. He has played an average of maybe like 10 games per season since he came to England largely because of injuries. Nolito asked to leave because he missed Spain so much and Sane brought the premier league in its knees largely. He wasn’t a flop even though Bayern did a smart one to poach him away.
The one I’ll give you is Bravo. He was truly a flop but calling the rest flops is stretching it a bit.
Because he wanted to leave. He won the PFA Young Player of the Year for Christ’s sake.Why did they sell him
Him wanting to go to Bayern probably had a lot to do with him being sold to Bayern.Why did they sell him
Because he wanted to leave and he'd have gone to Bayern for nothing at the end of this seasonWhy did they sell him
I wouldn’t bother mate. You will soon get the posters in who deny extra salaries to players, defend insane sponsorships and who think that CAS judgement somehow found them innocent of any wrongdoing.Man city's books have not been balanced.
Anyway i was pointing out that his recruitment can be poor and still have s better stocked squad than any in the world.
You don't have to agree, and can put me on mute if it troubles you. Its just my opinion
If Danilo was so poor why was he benching Walker? So did Walker suddenly become WC after Danilo left? Funny enough you blame Pep for the recruitment when he is not the one that does the recruitingwhy do you keep saying they wanted to leave as if that means they weren't crap signings that were bought for too much and delivered too little. Its like saying di Maria wasn't a shocking waste of money. Feck it, sanchez wanted to leave too, let's chalk him up as a decent punt
So did dele alli. Twice. One good season doesn't justify 50m.Because he wanted to leave. He won the PFA Young Player of the Year for Christ’s sake.
And a breakdown with guardiola, attitude concerns, underperforming in his last season and a bad injury. 50m not that well spent. Similar to di Maria wanting to leaveHim wanting to go to Bayern probably had a lot to do with him being sold to Bayern.
Danilo played what, about 10 games in his 'second title winning season'. He was an ordinary performer that cost 27m and was sold 2 years later. I think you're being very generous but that's your opinion. You're welcome to it.If Danilo was so poor why was he benching Walker? So did Walker suddenly become WC after Danilo left?

I’m still confused as to where you’re getting your information from. In the two seasons where we won it back to back he got 20 goals and 25 assists in 63 league appearances and then in his last season he was out injured with an ACL. Utterly bizarre that you don’t think he was a good signing.So did dele alli. Twice. One good season doesn't justify 50m.
Yeah, apart from playing well and winning stuff, that is.So did dele alli. Twice. One good season doesn't justify 50m.

If United signed a 50m youth player who started well, fell out with manager, got injured then did everything he could to move years before his peak, id be disappointed to say the least.

The irony that it’s you, of all people, saying that. Just look at some of your posts on this thread mate. Your dedication to establishing your contradictory and often disingenuous views is quite impressive.If United signed a 50m youth player who started well, fell out with manager, got injured then did everything he could to move years before his peak, id be disappointed to say the least.

I better check out of here for a while, seem to have triggered some real sensitivities for some, despite no real controversial opinion
Comparing Everton to City is like comparing Bayern to Union Berlin. Both teams’ depth would be night and day. There is no league in the world where 9 teams are very close. It is what it is. It has never been this way and probably never will. We are playing the likes of James because we did poorly in our purchases and we should be the ones challenging city.You don't need to have 7 or 8 players in the top 10 in the world to have a great squad. I'm not saying Guardiola is a shit manager or a fraud or anything like that, but I just 100% disagree with City " not having much quality".
They've got a squad of what ? 20 25 quality players?
Look at the Everton bench tonight compared to theirs.
Even we're having to play the likes of Dan James or a clearly knackered and injured Rashford.
Sterling's been in poor form so they can afford to just drop him. If one of our top players is playing shite like Martial he has to just keep playing because there's no other options.
Genuinely sorry if i upset you, they're just my opinions. Enjoy your team and their successThe irony that it’s you, of all people, saying that. Just look at some of your posts on this thread mate. Your dedication to establishing your contradictory and often disingenuous views is quite impressive.
I'm curious at how muchWell he spent 200m+ on this
Ake
Angelino
Danilo
Mendy
Bravo
Nolito
Sane
That's off top of my head. Being able to piss away 200m helps your recruitment options
It's only rent free to city because the poster is receiving generous and entirely legitimate sponsorship from a business in no way associated with Manchester City Football Club or the linked Reputation Laundering Holdings Incorporated.It doesn't trouble me, it seemed to me on what you're posting on a basis when city are playing that they're a club living in your head rent free
Huge amounts and mostly poor signings. Not sure what is has to do with the transfer record of a different manager at a different club though?I'm curious at how much
Lukaku
Mikitaryan
Van de Beek
Alexis
Telles
Matic
Bailly
All bought in the timeline Pep has been coach at CitehHuge amounts and mostly poor signings. Not sure what is has to do with the transfer record of a different manager at a different club though?
Matic has played 150 games for United and has been quality in a lot of them. Bailly still has potential and Telles and van de Beek have just arrived.I'm curious at how much
Lukaku
Mikitaryan
Van de Beek
Alexis
Telles
Matic
Bailly
That a player left a club doesn’t mean he was a flop. Would you call C. Ronaldo a flop? If you call Sane a flop, you are clutching at straws.I think every one of them was poor and would have gone down as flops among United fans. Angelino was 10m or so
Ok, but i still don't see what it has to do with discussing pep guardiolas transfer record at Manchester City.All bought in the timeline Pep has been coach at Citeh
Didnt Ake just arrive, Bailly and Mendy have injury problemsMatic has played 150 games for United and has been quality in a lot of them. Bailly still has potential and Telles and van de Beek have just arrived.
But certainly Matic shouldn’t be on a list like this. He has been a very good signing.
It's comparing it to Man utd transfers in the same time frameOk, but i still don't see what it has to do with discussing pep guardiolas transfer record at Manchester City.
It's an everton that has pissed money away in recent years. We, have done likewise. What I hate is that you guys go on like this is the best squad ever that makes it impossible for is to compete. I don't quite see it that way.You don't need to have 7 or 8 players in the top 10 in the world to have a great squad. I'm not saying Guardiola is a shit manager or a fraud or anything like that, but I just 100% disagree with City " not having much quality".

I didn't say a player leaving meant a flop. As i said re sane, very good start followed by attitude concerns, drop in form, serious injury and dying to leave the club, before his peak, isn't a good 50m in my opinion. Im sorry you disagree.That a player left a club doesn’t mean he was a flop. Would you call C. Ronaldo a flop? If you call Sane a flop, you are clutching at straws.
I think we're on completely different pages and youre trying to have a conversation that I'm not, unless you think a United fan can't discuss anything to do with city without needing to compare. I find it a bit weird, sorryDidnt Ake just arrive, Bailly and Mendy have injury problems

There is no need to be sorry, difference in opinions is a good thing.I didn't say a player leaving meant a flop.

Id have been disappointed with that scenario at United.There is no need to be sorry, difference in opinions is a good thing.
He actually got a bad long injury at the start of a new season. They paid 50m perhaps and recouped the sum and the guy gave them a league title whilst with them. That is not a bad deal at all and moreso, the above doesn’t make him a flop.
I was pleasantly surprised that they let him leave because the guy on his day can be a menace and tore the premier league a new one. I’m sure city fans were dissapointed he left and they got a downgrade in Ferran Torres from Valencia but it was never bad business or a case of wrong recruitment.Id have been disappointed with that scenario at United.
In any case, as i said above im going to step out of thread a while. Been on here 13 years in some pretty controversial threads re moyes, LVG, mourinho, Ronaldo and never got such an inundation to an opinion that isn't that out there. Seems to really have rattled some posters. Id need a secretary to get to it all
Sané was not a good signing? Jesus wept
Sane a bad signing
Danilo won back to back PL titles and the side got 197 points over those two seasons.
Because he wanted to leave. He won the PFA Young Player of the Year for Christ’s sake.
Him wanting to go to Bayern probably had a lot to do with him being sold to Bayern.
Because he wanted to leave and he'd have gone to Bayern for nothing at the end of this season

Guys please stop answering to this WUM user.. its pointless. Let him do his talk and njoy the bitterness
I'm pretty sure all the City fans are laughing at us after reading some of the bitter tripe from that poster.The irony that it’s you, of all people, saying that. Just look at some of your posts on this thread mate. Your dedication to establishing your contradictory and often disingenuous views is quite impressive.
If you're allowed to include Aké then we're definitely allowed to include VDB and Telles...Matic has played 150 games for United and has been quality in a lot of them. Bailly still has potential and Telles and van de Beek have just arrived.
But certainly Matic shouldn’t be on a list like this. He has been a very good signing.
It's a staggeringly bad take, sorry. Martial was the same price as Sané (assuming none of Martial's add-ons get triggered)- not "£50m" as you say. Martial has 81 G+A in 167 league games, while Sané managed 53 in just 90. And I'm only using Martial as an example, Sané did more in three than most forwards could manage in ten. There's a reason you're the only person who thinks he was a bad signing.In any case, as i said above im going to step out of thread a while.

Yeah, I wouldn’t argue that point on Ake or even on recent spending. I just think it is disingenuous to believe that rules weren’t bent to build as fast as City have, especially early on.If you're allowed to include Aké then we're definitely allowed to include VDB and Telles...
