I'm sorry but I don't get all the panic about City. 55 mill for an average rb and another 30 for a guy from madrids bench. 52 on a guy who could be good but will have to settle. Then yet another attacker they didn't need. How is Fraudiola going to fit them all on the pitch.
Arsenal and spurs have done nothing. Liverpool look like world beaters. In pre season. Wait till the wheels come off once they have to play twice a week.

Aguero, jesus, silva, silva, de bruyne, sane and potentially alexis sanchez.
I agree that we shouldn't be too worried because there's nothing we can do but that is an impressive set of forwards.
29 Jul 2017 19:55:07
Mort, I think I love you.

Walker is a very good RB, as is Mendy on the other side. We seriously lack in the full back positions and they are two good signings for city. Their attack is very good already and they could yet add Sanchez. I still think they might try for VVD too. They without question have the best squad for next season.

I hate City as much as any other United fan, but you have to always look at transfers from that particular teams point of view.
They are already sorted in their attacking actions for years to come. Now they've addressed their full back problem for few years. I don't think they would be spending big after this window. In the coming windows they need to replace yaya and a CB.
They've got a fantastic group of young players. These players will be going to the Spanish league from this year onwards to get first team action and play against top oppositions. I not sure if they bought a team in Spain or have an understanding ( like between Chelsea and Vitesse ) .

City half sorted one problem, but there still soft through the middle. Midfield isn't particularly good, an injury to Kompany and their central defence is in trouble, and the keeper could take time to settle.
29 Jul 2017 20:23:09
They have no centre backs and average central midfielders. The two most pivotal areas of the pitch.
29 Jul 2017 20:46:36
Ajh
I love u.
29 Jul 2017 21:07:20
They will buy a Cb.
29 Jul 2017 21:08:26
I think you prefer yourself just a little more jred.
29 Jul 2017 21:17:51
Ken, you can't help yourself can you.?
29 Jul 2017 21:20:35
I love Ken and jred!
29 Jul 2017 22:18:26
It goes both ways tony.
29 Jul 2017 22:36:14
Walkers average at best. Levy pulled their pants down. Danilo is nothing special either. Kompany is sponsored by bupa. As is gundogan. Cheers ajh.

Isnt kompany a member of platinum st johns ambulance?
29 Jul 2017 23:24:05
can shity only play 11 players or have they got special rules.
29 Jul 2017 23:31:22
And how many of those forwards can play at the same time? And how many subs will stay in world class sharpness and fitness when they don't even make the bench for half the games?
Stop giving the title to our rivals before a ball has even been kicked.

What absolute nonsense.
1. Walker certainly isn't all-that, but average he is not. He's more than decent player that immediately improves City. What City paid for him I don't see how that makes Walker more or lesser of a good player.
2. Danilo indeed struggled to make RM's eleven. a Madrid team far superior than City. Many good, very good players can't start at the elite clubs but would WALK into most other good teams 11s (City, Chelsea, PSG etc) .
By your "logic", Sanchez, Fabregas, Isco, Pedro were not worth buying cause they were benchwarmers. Impeccable logic there.
3. Mendy. Again you've made absolutely NO argument here about why this purchase isn't all-that but instead prattle about the obvious. Every player comes with little to no guarantee and will (DUH! ) OBVIOUSLY need to settle. Lindalof is no exception. as is Salah, Rudiger, Lacazzete. Again, your mention of his fee adds NOTHING to the point.
4. Assuming you referring to Bernado Silva, how do you figure they "don't" need him? Interesting how you not critiquing the player's merit but his acquisition. Needless to say, Silva is a VERY good player who significantly bolsters City's attack and, obviously, depth.
Whichever view your biased lens gives you, City's first eleven and bench is stronger for this signing.
5. How they going to fit them all? In what. first eleven. squad? If the former, then what a daft, needless question. They won't. But am sure "Fraudiola" as you call him is allowed substitutions and to rotate his squad. Better to have a Danilo, Sterling, Bertrand (potentially) coming off the bench than Young, Blind (make-shift), Valencia/ Darmian.
6. Arsenal done "nothing"? Yeah, of course. Adding a very competent left back and excellent, clinical forward is doing "nothing".
And Arsenal may yet again do "nothing" by adding Lemar. They may lose Sanchez of course. May.
We don't know. Transfer window not closed. How about you actually chill your bones and wait lad?
7. Spurs haven't been active. Is the transfer window closed yet?
8. Liverpool. World beaters. Preseason.
Yeah if course. That's such a brilliant insight. The world never knew not to read much into preseason games until the genius Mort pointed it out. Daft, really.
2 games a week? Yep, all those years Chelsea, Utd were winning PL and same time strongly competing in the CL must of been me dreaming.
The irony of you saying Silva was not "needed" and then making this "point" about Liverpool's wheels coming off having to play two games a week.
I get the nature of fans to be biased. What I can't get is their propensity to be utterly daft. as aptly examplified by you Mort.
And the thing is, I'm not even a Manchester City fan. I didn't need to be to see the folly of your post. But go on. I see the cheer leaders here clapping and cheering you on. Doesn't change the fact that your daft though.
