The_Steve Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 He’s detestable. Very easy to sit on your throne and pontificate after spending £1bn on players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Chelsea and Man U have also spent big. Chelsea have spent over £300 mil in players in the last 2 seasons. Its not just City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirteen months after the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned City's two-year ban from European competition for breaching Uefa's FFP rules, questions about the club's spending are again being raised. Guardiola defended City's British record £100m signing of England midfielder Jack Grealish. The Spanish manager insists the deal was only possible because of the £60m-worth of sales by the club over the past 12 months, including the £11m received from Borussia Dortmund following Jadon Sancho's move to Manchester United. With Kane not in the spurs squad its looking like they've found another £150 million from "somewhere". £250 million on two players but they aren't breaking FFP 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2021 Yeah, if Kane not even in the squad looks inevitable. Of course he's barely trained so that might be the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if Kane wasn’t on his way after this, unless he is genuinely injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Used to rate Pep highly,, but he is becoming unbearable. "Grealish only cost us 40 million". What bullcrap, an now they are obviously gonna find 120-150 million for Kane. Also, it kills me more over Grealish knowing 'THEY DID NOT NEED HIM'. It was obviously just to raise the profile of that awful club more than anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obviously just to raise the profile of that awful club more than anything. I mean he’s one of the best players in the league. He’s an improvement on what City have in a number of positions. Theres not a lot that City do “need” but there’s a reason why Grealish will start the vast majority of games for them. I kind of get the comments along the lines of “is Grealish an improvement?” from non-Villa fans but we know how good he is. I’m not going to pretend that he’s not just because he’s left Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Another thing that annoys me about Pep. When asked about Kane, he said something along the lines of 'he'd be a great player to have'. When Smith was asked about JWP, he said 'You know I don't talk about team's players and I'm not going to now'. Shows a difference in class. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Don't worry lads they'll just smash the British transfer record again for Kane, after Pep's quick maths him and Jack will only cost them £3.50 and a couple of Freddos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJCB Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 On Bluemoon, they're lamenting Mendy, Ake and Cancelo's performances. I double checked and those three cost £50m, £40m and £60m respectively. I think that **** me off about them more than the outlandish fees for Grealish/Kane who are genuinely world class players. They spunk astronomical money on players who are bang average and inflate prices/wages in the rest of the league as a result - I remember the Ake one in particular being a joke as no one seriously expected him to even get in the team yet they spent £40m on him. Would anyone seriously pay more than £10m for Mendy after that horror show of a performance today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Cancelo is great player. Ake and Mendy are jokes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As alluded to before they are a great team but their players are boring as **** for marketing. Jack is box office and he will bring those casual fans/women to go see him and sell shirts.
