What happened with FFP? City spent 250 last year, trying the same this year...
How?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
3 Quotes at once. I'm not going to replay on each one individually.
Whatever they're planning for it or not, this break of all players wanting to sign for them started after this Silva deal. After it the journalists linked them to almost all players possible, even Mbappe. I just can't believe this.
We have been in the exact same condition last 2 season of being linked to all players in the world just for having money.
Well he wont, today's reports said, they were looking to extend his contract.
City's team could look pretty tasty next season.
Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Mendy
Carvalho
Silva De Bruyne Silva Sane
Aguero
Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Mendy

Silva De Bruyne Silva Sane
Aguero
Probably because he had been nailed on to join City so pointless discussing him as an option.
City going for Carvalho doesn't rule out Fabinho for them. Could just be that Guardiola intends to use him as a right-back again.
General consensus is they are going for Walker for that position.
Really? I'd never even heard of him until a few days ago
Also the other teams aren't heavily linked to any players as them so why ? Not just us, but basically during last days I heard one or 2 rumors about Chelsea and Liverpool, zero about Arsenal and City. City is dominating the rumors stage these days, just like us last 2 seasons.
I'm just saying that it doesn't rule out Fabinho. And I wouldn't put it past City trying to sign Carvalho, Walker and Fabinho.
Hope this is true. Could open the door for us to move for Fabinho hopefully.
We were linked to him, if you go back a few pages. It was before Europa final.
Exactly my thoughts. Never liked Carvalho. This is one signing I want City to make.
Yep. He'd been linked with them since pretty much the turn of the year. Those who don't watch Portuguese football or keep up to date with transfers won't have heard of him but those who've seen transfer tweets in general this season will know his name.
I think there was one thing linking us to Ederson a few days or so ago but it was bullshit IMO.
Let them have him.
How big is City's war chest?
Far too attacking
Rumours of £300m but they probably don't have a set figure in mind. They don't need to worry about FFP anymore.
Are you saying they'll try to sign every player possible in the market ?
I already miss FFP
Or Monaco are refusing to sell.
Why? That is new for me
To be honest I couldn't care less about Walker or Carvalho and like I said before, missing out on Fabinho wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I'd be far more gutted about Lemar and B. Silva. But yeah, let's be positive. Fabinho is ours.Come on mate, the old dementor is trying to be positve.
My FIFA 18 team sorted out.
Carvalho would be underwhelming in one of our weakest positions. Would put an end to the Fabinho hopes in my eyes.
Carvalho 
no way. Why would they buy him? After being managed by Jardim, he has been great in exactly two games. Important no doubt, Real Madrid away for the CL and Euro2016 final. That's it. I'd personally drive him to the Sheik's private Jet in Lisbon. Gotta love transfer market season.

UEFA refunded them for complying with FFP sanctions (transfer restrictions and reduced squad for CL) so they've nothing to worry about now as UEFA have abandoned FFP.
I can't see them getting all 3 players. If they get all 3 I suppose we shouldn't play the next league at all and give them the EPL cup on August.
Of course, now that they have signed one promising player in B.Silva they are the only ones that will have a good transfer market. Scouting must be the easiest job in the world since the caf are so good at identifying our targets
That is the thing for me with Guardiolas philosophy. His idea of how football should be played is kind of a great one, but lets face it, it can only really work with fantastic technical players all over the pitch. He pretty much inherited that at Barcelona and Bayern to a degree. He spent a fortune last year and pretty much has the attacking players for it now but at the same time as of yet Bravo has been a disaster, as has Stones and with Kompany and Gundogans fitness being questionable he still virtually needs new players for 6 or 7 of the first eleven spots to make it work......or in total over two years nigh on £500m. Christ, I have produced footballing Nirvana for far less on Football Manager. I think he is a really good manager, though as of yet also the most over rated manager of all time considering he is already being compared to the greatest of all time. For me he will never have the man management leadership skills of Ferguson, would never be able to win the champions league with smaller clubs such as Clough or Mourinho.
I would love him to spend all the money being bandied about this summer, fail again and win nothing
That's Pep for you.
No difference with how he played last season, and that won't change.
I want us to sign any player to calm the people down, even though they'll probably overreact more if we sign Perisic or Keane first.Of course, now that they have signed one promising player in B.Silva they are the only ones that will have a good transfer market. Scouting must be the easiest job in the world since the caf are so good at identifying our targets
I would have loved Bernardo Silva but I was never convinced we'd be in for him in truth, with Lemar I still hold out some hope, if we want a LW he'd be a much better option than Perisic. I know you have a few other CM options you like but for now we'll celebrate the imminent capture of Fabinho!To be honest I couldn't care less about Walker or Carvalho and like I said before, missing out on Fabinho wouldn't be the end of the world for me.

Pep buying half Monaco and half the Portuguese league. Surprised he hasnt bought or got linked with a Spaniard so far.
They can only field 11 players though. Us and others will improve as well.
I was sarcastic
They will sign one player of these I reckon, and I have a feeling it will be Fabinho.
I thought he was the more likely of the two for Mourinho, due to him being Portuguese and the Mendes connection. Plus the reports from France.I would have loved Bernardo Silva but I was never convinced we'd be in for him in truth, with Lemar I still hold out some hope, if we want a LW he'd be a much better option than Perisic.

Fabinho would definitely make me happy.
You missed Bonucci and Mbappe
