They will be fun to watch but most teams (us included) will just try and soak up the pressure and strike on the counter. Pretty much our game v Man City in May will pretty much be their season and potentially downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty98 Posted 24 July 2017 Share Posted 24 July 2017 Man City still need a quality CM to play alongside Gundogan before they'll be challenging for the title imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 24 July 2017 Share Posted 24 July 2017 I don’t really understand why you’d sign Danilo and Walker... unless he’s playing Danilo in DM as with Lahm at Bayern. To add a little balance to the amount they’re spending though, they’ve needed two new full backs for three seasons now and really it could be the only thing that’s been holding them back and therefore could win them the trophies they desire.

By the time the window closes, he could easily have spent almost half a BILLION in his three windows so far. That's half a billion in little over a year. On a squad which already included the likes of Aguero et al. Madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted 24 July 2017 Share Posted 24 July 2017 Why have they still got Otamendi and Stones at centre back? You'd think they'd be able to improve on those two quite easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamafox Posted 24 July 2017 Share Posted 24 July 2017 Man City really are desperate. If they don't win a major trophy this season then it serves them right for wasting £200m+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 24 July 2017 Share Posted 24 July 2017 7 hours ago, Paddy. said: Agree with both of you. Interesting words from Uli Hoeness at Bayern. He doesn't name Man City directly but quite clearly directed at them and others spending gazillions. Hits the nail on the head for me. Although you could reasonably say that Bayern aren't exactly 100% organic either. He's got a point but as you say, Bayern are far from organic. Bayern's model is pretty much based on buying the best players from the 2nd and 3rd best teams in Germany and therefore strengthening their team whilst weakening their main opposition.

Within 3 years we wil be at 1 billion buyouts (if their isnt one already ) I get your point, but they can only sign players who they could've previously signed for £100-150m combined. Massively inflated transfer fees doesn't mean they'll get a player of higher quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
