What are you talking aboutCoach wrote:City have needed a rebuild for some time and to actualize their aspirations, they need to bring in quality.
City have been bringing in loads of good players every transfer window ever since Mancini left.
Every season since that has seen them spend at least 100million.

Last year, City was the highest spending club in all of Europe!
When it comes to their master, Guardiola, these liars just lie and lie and lie shamelessly.

Not necessarily world class, but good players they were.

Re: The Revolution
In addition to that, when it was announced that he is coming to City, we were told how his mates Txiki and Soriano had been working tirelessly to assemble the type of players that can play his football, so that he can have a soft landing in English football.danfo driver wrote:benteke wrote:What are you talking aboutCoach wrote:City have needed a rebuild for some time and to actualize their aspirations, they need to bring in quality.

Conte also mentioned that the players Pep found at City are already aligned to his philosophy.
And then Pep gets there and spends the most money on even more players, it really should have been a stroll to the title.
Now we are told he needs to rebuild that whole team, including his expensive signings of last season.

I'm afraid it will no longer be different to Zidane who is coaching an absolutely star studded team that will win at least a trophy under most decent managers.
I think if he will have to win a quadruple with City in order to regain that cult status that was unfairly bestowed upon him

PEPEREMPE SUGAR SUGAR ... BABY!
SO, Peperempe has agreed a SIXTY MILLION POUNDS DEAL for Virgil Van Dijk, a center back! Having spend FIFTY MILLION POUNDS on John Stones last year

2) Why did Carlo Ancelotti fail to win anything at all in the 2014-15 season with the same team?
By the way, Pep is a great coach; he is perhaps too rigid in his tactical approach, which makes it possible for some coaches to figure him out and make plans to neutralize him. But I agree, the cult status was just stupid. And I was part of it.

I have never watched Van Dijk. I mean, I have watched Southampton, but I wasnt paying attention to him, so I can speak either way about him.
Last year, they got Stones and United (for example) got Bailly for 20 million pounds CHEAPER. And we all see that Bailly is clearly the superior player. This year, they are getting Van Dijk for 60 million and United will probably go for Lindelof for 35 million pounds CHEAPER. Who will turn out to be the better player?
