will win in the end.

I have never doubted that we'll sign him. We'll make him one of the highest paid players in the world and he'll flop hard. We'll also throw 200k a week at Eriksen just to prevent Brentford from embarrassing us. Murtough madness.

He's not a superstar you build around. Even Modrić doesn't get that at Real. Look at all the the elite teams: City - KDB Liverpool - Salah Real - Benzema Bayern - Lewandowski PSG - Mbappé de Jong will improve us by bringing better balance and technical ability to the midfield. We still need match winners like Ronaldo, Bruno and Sancho to do the business in the final 3rd.

We should walk away. We're going to end up paying him 300k a week. Yikes.

Havertz plz.

I'd say he's just using it as a threat i.e. buy some players. Fuck him though. I'd love to sell him, but we can't now. No strikers on the market.

If only. Two of your boys shot down in one window.

It's looking like €80 million fixed will seal it. All that haggling over variables for nothing. Trash negotiators. Huge transfer fee for a player of his type. Hopefully ten Hag knows what he's doing. The PL is very different to La Liga.

We're in The Europa League, which is more difficult to navigate than The CL.

City Liverpool Spurs Chelsea/United United/Chelsea Arsenal Leicester/Newcastle It depends on who Chelsea and United sign. Arsenal are doing good business. Saliba looks set to return from loan, Fábio Vieira has been signed, Gabriel Jesus is on the way, and they're also in for Raphinha. That's potentially a transformative window for them. It could see them push for 4th. Chelsea are linked with de Ligt. Sterling could end up there too.

If Bernardo leaves for 80 odd million, they'll just buy someone else. Pep has said that he doesn't want either to leave.

Phillips is good when fit. That's the whole point of the transfer. They needed a rotation option for Rodri. Now they do. Bielsa expected an awful lot from him as a lone DM. City are a lot more organised. He should slot in well as a squad player. If they sign Cucurella as well, they're pretty much set. No way they don't win the league again. Haaland/Álvarez Foden/Grealish------Mahrez/Kaky Bernardo/Gundögan------KDB/Palmer Rodri/Phillips Cucurella/Cancelo-----Laporte/Aké---Dias/Stones---Cancelo/Walker Ederson/Steffen They'll probably sell Jesus, Sterl

Malacia is close to agreeing a move to Lyon. That's a horrible window overall. Even with Antony or a ST. Two starting XI improvements in de Jong and Antony. Nowhere near enough. Just sack ten Hag now instead of dragging it out.
