Sterling is absolutely wank.

Pep got rid of him for a reason. He knew it.
Lol.

The guy got 17 goals in his last season at City.

Scored nearly 100 goals in his time at City.

He may not be world class and has flaws to his game, but wank? No. And I certainly don’t think Guardiola shares your opinion.

The funny thing is the above stats are what all the people calling him “wank” now would be championing had it been us that signed him.
 
Still not the player they needed though - just a typical Woolwich signing.

If they’d signed a clinical finisher this summer I would have turded myself
Yeah we should thank our lucky stars Arteta felt compelled to progress straight to the Pep "I'm gonna play this weird fucking system because I feel like it and you can discuss it all you like but I'll still win everything" Guardiola tinkerer stage after lifting just the one FA cup.

I can't understand the complacency when basically the same group wasn't good enough last season, and when you've finished in the Champion's League places 1 out of the last 5 years.

"We'll run (more or less) the same team out that didn't succeed last year , grow the youngsters up on the training ground gradually, and do some wise business shipping failed players out. And if all goes well maybe we can compete for European football... where our ambitions again won't match those of the teams surrounding us" ...

This is slop you'd dish up to supporters of the Spam or some other mid-table club that doesn't harbor any delusions about winning trophies, not a big club as we feel we are

I understand the sentiment and this is not just about transfers, we've had 3 different managers in that time too, as much as we have needed change on player front, we need stability in management,

I don't know if we are running the same team though, better, worse or a similar level, the question is whether the new set of players will be better than the old, you don't know and neither do I. On the point about signing big names, it hasn't worked for us because the players we've bought who stood out haven't traditionally been big names,

Modric/Bale/Dembele/Berbatov/Alli - these weren't players who came in with huge reputations or massive fees, do I think Solanke is the next Berbatov? Probably not, but he could improve us and we need time to judge his impact, like all of the new boys, we need to give them a chance based upon what they do for us.

You might be right, we could have bought slop, but you really can't call it that till you've tasted what's been served up.

I just get the feeling Gray, Bergvall, Solanke and Oddobert, at least a couple of those might be better than slop. I am not saying we should expect these players will win the league for us but if they improve us, then surely that's not a bad thing?
 

Thank god he's finally gone, was hilarious watching people calling for him to start once Maddison's form dropped off last season because he had a good 20 mins at the end of a game vs Villa or someone as if they didn't know he was about to be injured with some random fucking hamstring problem for another 3 months. Then magically get fit in time for the next Argentina matches.

One of the most thoroughly forgettable expensive signings any club has ever made.
 
Crap window for us, bare minimum yet again and managed to leave us short in several areas.

Going to be a tough season, maybe we'll do well in at least one of the cups. Better for as can see us struggling in the league, top half but most likely end up 7th or 8th.

Those 10 or so games during Covid when Gio cooked.

I bet Ange gives more mins to Lankshear than Richy.

I reckon the plan for the club was to sell Richy but he didn't want to leave so we're gonna give him limited mins which will push him out the door.

I don't think we can really afford to do that, I don't think it's a coincidence that N'dombéle reappeared in the squad at the start of 3 new managers only to be quickly banished once it became clear he was untenable as a player, I think Levy will be leaning on Ange to keep Richy in the shop window with minutes even if he doesn't see him as a long term part of the squad. Wouldn't be surprised if Lankshear ends up with a loan in Jan even if Moore manages to get more pitch time.
