The indecision at CB is a joke as well.
Ben Davies has been a fantastic club servant but we’re 1 VDV injury away from him playing CB in the PL again. It’s beyond incompetent, it’s negligent
That's the going rate of a good player these days. It's the £30m of 5 years ago
I really did LOL.Some people really struggle with football banter from rival fans. Thoughts and prayers toTottenham Massive - hope they aren't being too mean to you
Digging your head into the sand and pretending that our most bitter rivals aren’t in real danger of disappearing over the horizon and leaving us in their wake due to our ineptitude the chronic lack of ambition of our owners doesn’t make you a better Spurs fan mate.
They have made utter mugs of us this summer and ignoring that as you try and take the moral high ground by calling out Spurs fans who are righty furious by it is just sad.
City are happy to sell Savinho and this has been evident from the start of our pursuit. What they want is to take us to the cleaners and everything that's happened since we bid 50m is one big conditioning operation where we're being manipulated into eventually offering 70m. Levy will likely bite and the fans and the club will think it as a great bit of business whilst the City hierarchy will be laughing and congratulating themselves on a job well done.

They’ve started giving Romano Tier 2
Should be tier 200
When did I do that you simpering cuck?
Letting your gooner mates walk all over you because they've made some good signings when we've just won a fucking European Championship is the most simping cuck like inferiority complex ever. It's degrading. And pathetic.
When they win something then you can lie on your back and let them kick you. Until then - fucking man up and have some self-respect.
Blimey

What a shocking window, Woolwich taking tbe piss out of us.
We are such a small club in our thinking and approach.
Okay, let's now look at the actual underlying facts -
Madders - last season 12 goals + 11 assists
Deki - 10 goals + 11 assists
Son 12 goals + 12 assists
That totals up to 34 goals and 34 assists. 68 goal contributions.
Now consider few things -
- A LOT of those mentioned assists were assists among eacother, meaning Deki assisting Son and vice versa. So impact is significantly less than that when you eliminate double-counting.
- Kulusevski will be available for at least half of the season
- Willing to bet that Kudus impact across whole season will not remain below 20 g+a, so he is replacing Sonny
- if absentees/injuries are counted, shouldn't we count in returnees? Like Richie. Who already has 3 involvements in 3 games
Again - agreed that we need reinforcements. In attacking roles as well. And more than 1 ; for example Savinho + Paqueta or Savinho + Alikouche would be very reasonable expectations. But let's not illustrate need for the reinforcement with half-truths here please.
There's still a week to go before the transfer window closes. Let's wait until then before passing judgment.
He seems a very good player form what I've seen. But we don't seem to do "sensible" and even when we do - like the MGW move - we fuck it up somehow.
We’ve also been a fantastic servant to Ben Davies
Not enough gets made of that
Some respect to THFC
And then...we will beat them soundly again at home he will be unplayable and they will stop laughing and start pointing fingers at who made this mistake. We'll slide in to 2n spot in the EPl just behind the leaders with five games to go and the player of the year Kudus relived of the burden of being double marked because Savinhos threat will carry us to an utterly unexpected league and cup double.
I like my version.
It is.... But the vast majority of clubs still need to supplement with academy and players with 'potential'; especially if they also want to be able to cover fees of north of 50m in key areas too......
22 x 50m = £1.1bn
+ swap in few worldies at 100m = £1.3bn/£1.4bn
Sure; the game is rapidly entering that territory at the very top end; but it's not exactly the norm yet.

FWIW:
Manchester City's squad cost is reported as approximately €1.1 billion (or £898.5 million), making it the costliest squad in the Premier League and potentially the world, primarily based on transfer fees for current players. This figure represents the total transfer fees paid to assemble the current group of players.
Key Details
[*]Total Squad Cost:
A recent estimate from March 2025 places the cost at around €1.1 billion, according to Planet Football.
[*]Costliest Squad:
This figure makes Manchester City's squad the most expensive in the Premier League and potentially in the history of football, based on transfer fees alone.
[*]Based on Transfer Fees:
The cost refers to the total amount of money the club invested in transfer fees to acquire its current players, including loan fees and potential add-ons.
[*]Comparison:
Other reports, like one from late 2023, also show Manchester City at the top, with a squad cost of £898.5 million, notes Sky Sports.

I feel like the irony is that we seem to be trying to catch bigger fish.
Problem is, we either don't seem to convince them to come or fail to stump up enough quickly to avoid getting bullied by the big boys. It's like an incompetent attempt to be a big club.
