Yes but city have had a plan and are actively always looking to move players in and out to get that extra 10/15% advantage. They release silva, probably the best midfielder of the last 10 years with Bernardo and Gundo waiting in the wings for the last few seasons and we just sign Matic up for 3 more years. Or they sign KBD and relentlessly recruit talent to bring out the best in him. We get Pogba and stick him with pereira and lingard for half a season. You would have to say our owners while spending a lot are still our biggest hurdle to success

- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Woe is me as if you lot have anything to moan about
weak league
Ground that one out without playing well, thankfully Antonio missed first half and that one at the end going wide. The big change being Jesus for Aguero, we started to control the game then.
West Ham are a good fecking team under Moyes, very like his Everton. I think in the right place he really excels. Unlucky not to get a point today.

City have the money to keep players like Mahrez, B.Silva and Foden happy to be riding the bench for years.
Why wouldn’t they come to Utd? What’s Rose going to achieve at BD or Nagelsman at RB? They’ll move those teams forward but it will always be BM they’ll be chasing
It was obvious watching City play Rose’s BMG that his side had no chance in terms of quality and Pep admitted it. Rose has talented players but hardly any budget.
Lucky you.
Yeah typical he couldn't put away that chance ah well enjoy cakewalking to the league title
that’s the bar they’ve set and they aren’t slowing down anytime soon either. We’ve spent a billion trying to catch them and still don’t have a complete team. Our recruitment gives me nightmares
Well, Mahrez is a player at least 80% of City fans would love to move.
How tf did both their cbs score
Miracle they got anything out of this game, really.
Sell him to us then we need a RW
Pray Bayern can stop them winning the CL.
I think they will clean up the three domestic trophies.

We can't keep up with their semi-frequent £50m signings, that's why we've become so youth-focused in the last few seasons, willing to spend millions on 16-18 year olds.
Not over yet, we have to have a blip at some stage but if we come outta the derby still 10 points up I'll start to relax.
It's 100% over
A blip for City will be not winning one game and going out of one of the cups , and then they'll just will 5 in a row after.
Moyes v Pep. Played 8, lost 6 and drew 2. (1 of those draws was as Man United manager against Bayern Munich)
We have to bare in mind that 568M was spent by one manager, whereas ours was spent by 3 (i think) meaning a lot of our spending was getting in players to suit the style of the managers we had in.
Pep, on the other hand, had a vision and has been able to make it happen. And make no mistake about it, some of his signings haven't been great. Like, how many centre backs did he buy before stumbling upon Diaz, who is now partnered by a guy in Stones, who was apparently out of the door last season.
Ole has been here for two seasons now. He has a vision and on the whole, I think his signings have been good. He has shown progression, which ultimately is what we as fans want to see. If we want to progress further, we need to give him time to complete the project he's building.
This league is for City so it's better that everyone behind us loses ALL their games.
The gap between our squads originates in those 3-4 years post Ronaldo and grew under Moyes/lvg/mourinho. Skipping a few years of investment will always show at some point.
City are constantly improving their squad. Thats the difference. Chelsea did the same until their ban. Being proactive saves you long term.

A blip for City would be getting less than 50% possession in a single game.
They won’t lose another game this season.
I'm pretty sure that's impossible.
We can always pray that you lose many more.
Yeah they looked laboured. Were only in 3rd gear
Now you are just taking the piss
I really hope we find some way to develop that young talent because if we want to win stuff there’s no way we are going to be able to properly develop 4/5 youth players at a time in our first team and keep up with what city and Chelsea are spending. In a lot of cases we eventually will have to go out and make the 50 million pound buy anyway. Look at it post ronaldo to the present day. It’s no good spending just to catch up when the opposition have already hoovered up the best players of the next generation. Have a 3 year plan and go and execute the plan. If that means 2 x 50/60 million quid players a year then so be it but at least be consistent and we are far from that. We can do things clubs can only dream about in the transfer market? Like chase sancho for 3 years or Cavani on a free? Dreamy
Hopefully, United won't play another Mourinho game against Chelsea.
Am I feck, in our first title season we were 8 points behind, then 8 ahead and then 8 behind you guys with 6 games to go.
In our 13-14 title season, we were top for a total of 12 days before May and 7 points behind Liverpool in January.
In our 18-19 title season, we were 7 points behind Liverpool and won 15 games in a row to win the title by a point.
United have come back from 12 points to Newcastle... 4 months ago this was Pep's worst ever season...
Nothing is done till its done.
Great stuff...I collapsed laughing when I read your comment.
Yeah but lets not forget you went into that game with us in that first title season only 3 pts behind whereas we are coming to the Etihad at least 10 behind if not maybe more. Where on earth do you honestly see yourself dropping any points between now and the end of this season when you can still get results when not playing at full pelt
Yeah well I collapsed with shock when the monopolies let you be bought in 2008 so there you go, also helps you can just spend your way out of trouble and don't compare it to us because we earnt the right to spend big and weren't just handed it on a plate like you lot
Only one to pick up on that! Lingod
Cheers mate! Found his level?
Cheers mate! What position does he play?
WBA ahead.
Either way he's right.
Two £50M+ right backs to chose from as well. It's insane.
