Don't be silly.

What's happening is more or less the same as last summer. If the media reports at the time were correct, we tried very hard to attract a number of top players then but were repeatedly knocked back, probably because we're simply not as well known or respected as the clubs we were competing against. One year later we're still in the Premier League but our 14th place finish has probably done very little to dent that image. The suggestion that all these players would have joined us if Pearson was still here is to conveniently ignores the basic fact that, at present, we're not well known or highly regarded enough to easily attract the kind of players we want. Whether we have Pearson, Ranieri or somebody else in charge, that's the reality we're dealing with.

You can't blame the owners for trying to attract top talent. They are ambitious and want us to be an established top 10 Premiership club. But we're not there yet and are probably going to get knocked back a lot of times before we hit the jackpot. To assume that all would be different if Pearson was still in charge is to indulge in the worst kind of self-flagellating retro-fantasy.

This.

Shaun fvcking Maloney turned us down last year.

We're in the game, the bag of cash is on the table, and the player is being bullied by everyone to come to City. 

Not literally.

 

We're just trying to tell him why City is the best for his future.

"Leicester City officially proposed 15 MI Euros per Aránguiz. Of all proposals, that is the biggest. And ATTENTION: Inter 50% and 50% Probe"

Does this mean we can get more than one?

If Southampton can convince the likes of Wanyama, Lovren and Osvaldo to join them in their second season in the Premier League then we can with this guy. There's no way that the Southampton from back then were more attractive then us now, I'm not having that.
