What is it with the CAF and being so pessimistic when it comes to transfers?
I've said this in a number of threads now and feel as though it deserves it's own thread.
In a number of threads discussing players such as Kane, Grealish, Ronaldo and Sancho. There are lots of posts from users that just straight up dismiss the possibility of us signing anyone. Like Kane people are already writing him off to go to City, now a strange one is Sancho is all of a sudden a dead cert to go to Chelsea or Ronaldo back to Madrid.
The CAF has this weird juxtaposition of wanting the worlds best players at the club and wanting the club to challenge for honours. But at the same time, each time good and world class players are available, almost immediately write them off and say that they're going to our rivals.
So, I ask the question, why (and I know Glazers, don't trust them to shell out the money etc etc) but why in your view, do you think the CAF is this way? Why can't one of the world's richest clubs sign the world's best players. We got Bruno and beat City to the signing of both Bruno and Maguire! So it's not like we can't compete. So why is Kane a dead cert to be going to City?
