a team that cant defend gets rid of a defender
and on the same day the same team that cant stop scoring goals buys another attacking midfielder
GO PEP!!!!!!
Maybe they'd read Rule V2 on Page 207 of the Premier League Rules...How can they buy players before the transfer window?
Already a costly squad that again has failed to deliver, even with a trendy manager.
Solution, just throw more money at it.
The funniest thing is that if city win something then the manager will be lauded as one of the greatest ever. So nauseating.
Financial Fair Play ?
No matter how much these mob fail they keep spending until they can't fail ( they wish )
Wankers
Financial fair play doesn't exist, Man City is effectively owned and resourced by a foreign government.
It never was.It's really not a thing anymore.
It is fair to say now in retrospect that is correct.It never was.
Yeah, but most people knew it at the time. With all the corruption in football there was no way the money was being shut out. The very idea of it was as farcical as Trump pushing climate change at the G7.It is fair to say now in retrospect that is correct.
Don't forget the wages, the inflated sponsorship money from their state owned companies and the money spent on the training and academy centre.The oil riggers are a respect-less, joke of a club, and encapsulate everything that represents the negative side of the modern game of football. The charlatans of the country paralleled in every way by the chavs.
Most people don't like Liverpool but at least they have fan's respect, along with Manchester United (although the latter since losing their manager have gone into over drive in spending)
I'm not sure any football fan has any respect for either the oil riggers, or the chavs, and rightly so.
In September 2008, the club is owned fully by Sheikh Mansour since which time, the Sheikh has spent £1,075.170.000 in transfers on players at the club.
If you throw enough shit at the wall, it's bound to stick at some point.

There is a reason why Walker hasn't been announced as a City player, despite being linked to him for months now. If they are paying £50m for Mendy they is no way they are getting Walker for £40m!
