I don't see the relevance of goal difference here, points total is enough of an indicator to suggest there wasn't a lot in it. Add to that we had the exact same results that season in terms of wins, draws and losses. When Pep took over, we had 4 fullbacks over 30, Otamendi, Mangala, injury...

Objectively, United and City were neck and neck before Pep took over. Look at the two points total of both teams in 15-16.

Brilliant point mate. Can you actually believe Silver Lake Investments bought a 10% stake of CFG valuing the company at $5billion? When the Sheikh leaves, City are really bound to collapse!

No, you don't get it. United are allowed to because they're United. The issue with City is they have far more resources than any other club. Well, except for clubs like United who actually generate more than City and actually have a larger budget.

That is true. It's entirely plausible that we eventually drop points. However, United and Leicester would need to go on a run of 13 wins out their next 14/15 games to stand a chance.

Sterling is a weird one, his decision is night and day depending on where on the pitch he is. One on one, his decision making is dreadful. However, when coming in from the wing, he's phenomenal at releasing the ball at the right time to the right player. Like against Lyon, it was easy just to...

Well apologies for me thinking it's implied given the discourse and prevalence of 'net spend' in recent years. Either way, if we go total spend Chelsea have only spent 30m less than us since Pep arrived. The idea that we're winning things because we have used significantly more resources than...

The net spent of City since Pep arrived if 555m and United's is 497. Literally just go on transfermrket.com, the numbers are there.

You are aware we've only spent 60m more than you since Pep arrived. And why would it matter how our success would make you feel anyway? If I said 'ugh the richest club about to win number 21 ugh boring I don't care' I'm fairly sure there wouldn't be a single United fan that would care. It's our...

I'm not going to lie, you've stated alot of things that are just not true. 1) Laporte was not bought to replace Stones, they literally don't even play in the same position. Laporte has played exclusively as a LCB and Stones as a RCB. Mangala wasn't a Pep signing but has a PL medal. Same as...

1) Delph being a mainstay when Mendy was injured quite literally goes against the idea that Pep spends and just replaces players he doesn't like. Zinchenko being our main LB 4 years after signing Mendy also points that out. Danilo did cut it, just left because he wanted more minutes and to be a...

'Pep didn't go in and coach what they had'.... Otamendi gets into PFA TOTS, Kompany and Mangala have PL medals, Delph is the mainstay LB for the team that got the most points in PL history and Zinchenko is our main LB right now. Why must people be totally oblivious to what Pep came in and...

The point that was being made, atleast how I interpreted it, was that Pep bought a load of players and decided to rectify the ones he didn't like by deciding to spend more and replace them. Outside of Bravo, that's simply not been the case. When Pep first arrived, the squad management in...

Danilo wasn't a flop, he left because he wanted more minutes. Mangala wasn't a Pep signing. The only player Pep has signed and replaced is Bravo.

Has all the physical attributes to be an elite player. Quick, skilful, eye for goal and great on the ball. However, seems to be relatively poor off the ball and makes the wrong decision more times than not.
