Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) I saw a table recently of how much Man City have spent on their DEFENCE under Guardiola. Over £500 million on defenders alone. We are miles away from that, years away from laying a glove on the 'top four'. It's pure fantasy for us to aspire even. With Grealish fit all season maybe a 'top seven' at very best. We need to sign another striker like Abraham so next season we have rotation of Watkins, Wesley and Abraham. McGinn needs to go and we must sign someone like Ward-Prowse. We also need to upgrade Trezeguet. That's over our budget for the summer on those three players, I think?

This is just by what Wes Edens has done in the NFL with that contract. Ideally, I would like to see NasWes pump in another £100m-£150m again this summer on strengthening the squad.

villa89 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hopefully they can find the cash to make a real top quality signing this summer. We need another player who's near Jack's level. Otherwise we will just be like Palace who depend on Zaha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing top 10 shows other players and jack that we have made accelerated progress year on year and are on the fringes of top 8/top 6. Also gives us more edge in terms of ffp. Difference between finishing 9th and 12th may not seem huge, but to potential targets it could be massive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinez and barkley came to us for the promise of first team footballer. Watkins made the step up from the championship. If we want to make more steps up the ladder we will need better players brought in every window. Better players move to clubs who are higher placed and offr the most money. Hence why finishing higher in the table is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did he end up? Spurs were very interested in Watkins. Who was prepared to pay the massive transfer fee? You don't think Martinez and Barkley could have got first team games at any other team that finished above us last season? Players come for ambition and money. We have both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all players we acquired this summer. Like i've said, each window we will need to take an incremental step up in quality, which will be helped by the highest league position possible.

It might help slightly but I seriously doubt it will impact it. We convinced Jack to sign a new contract after surviving by a point. To be honest, I think this is just a new thing for people to justify why they're moaning. They know they'll be laughed at for complaining about being 10th, so they have to invent doomsday scenarios to point to when they have a moan. Sheffield United finished high last season, did that help them bring in quality players? Burnley finished 10th, what quality players could they attract? Everton finished 12th and signed bloody James Rodriguez. You're getting worked up over nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
