I can't get past the idea that he's been around the Prem before and been bang average.
So were Salah and De Bruyne.

It's a case of treading water, keep the revenue rolling in so that the valuation of the club can either grow or not dip. Nothing more.Horror show continues for this front office.
Blind leading the blind
If you make a donation he would tell you prime Ronaldinho was on.Trix said Savinho is still happening, so I am siding with Trix.
He has better sources than Fabrizio.
Are we supposed to be happy because players on the pitch today are better than those mentioned the 5 years prior?As someone else mentioned, every player on the pitch for us in our comfortable 2-0 win at the Etihad was a transfer purchase in the last 5 years.
Whereas here's the best XI of acquisitions the 5 years prior to that:
Gazzaniga
Aurier Sanchez Rodon Reguilon
Hojbjerg Wanyama Sissoko
Moura Llorente Bergwijn
Remember all the people crying that City were just giving us an unreasonable number? I suspect they'll be quiet today.That is the very first time City have held onto a player who clearly wants to leave.
It shows you that even City can't find talent and are slightly less appealing (Rodrygo) to potential targets.
I just hope we have not been holding onto City folding, although I also think this says more about Guardiola's loosening grip. I say watch this space with him this season.
We should NOT be paying 70 million for a player who can't get into anyone's first team, so desperation apart, I dont see this as the worst as long as we do add quality to the squad.
The fee is ok anyway. We know we have the £££

B52’s!
Chelsea look like they are wrapping up the Garnacho signing.
What is the betting that Romano will tweet at some point this evening, Chelsea here we go on Garnacho, and will then say "Rumours of Spurs in for Simons, wide of the mark, player only wants Chelsea, Chelsea will make it happen soon"
I was optimistic earlier for some deluded reason, but now Savinho deal is dead, yeah, this window is a fucking disaster.
Not necessarily always, but it's obviously a huge factor for most professional footballers, yes
Rogers is a pipe dream, so it's Paqueta. Even West Ham fans want him gone from that dumpster fire, and think they look better without him, so yeah, suits us.
Afraid to say, I think it's bust
I'm not too downbeat
At least we tried for Savinho
I'm sure we've made loads of friends along the way
That's what it's all about in the end

They clearly love the player and don't want to lose him, as expected. His transfer fee to City (a fraudulent one), shouldn't have come into any of your thinking.
