          Agreed. At least I hope. After telling the person beside me watching the game on Sunday, "Sanchez will pass to the opponent at least once this game", Sanchez proceeded to pass directly to a City player. First goal not his fault but 2nd he could have done better. Did make a couple of nice saves at least.

            A few nice saves but I thought he was awful v City. Not helped by abysmal defending for the second goal, he was poor to react. It's his job to be vocal with his defence.

      Man City bought an entire back 5 under Pep that was garbage (Mangala, Bravo, etc.) and then just spent 200m the next summer on another back 5.

        What nonsense. Who are you talking about exactly apart from Bravo? Mendy is the only one I can think of, and he was great prior to injury and then the awful off-field situation.

        Mangala was bough in 2014, Pep didn't arrive until 2016.

        Danilo was decent and made profit on re-sale. Profit made on Angelino. Made 30 mil on Zinchenko resale and success while there. Stones, Walker, Dias, Laporte and Ake all great successes and purchased in different windows anyway.

        A short memory is better than an unreliable one.

          I agree that City have done well in the transfer market for the last 5 or so years. I posted below why I think that is but will repost here.

          "City built a young and talented squad over the years by cheating. It put them in a position of power where they could be very selective in the transfer market. Add to that they pay top wages to attract top talent. They also don't need to buy players that have an immediate impact in the first team and can buy younger players and integrate them into the first team and system gradually. It's a lot easier to be savvy in the transfer market in the position they are in!"

            That's criticism and assessment is a better analysis than the lazy poorly researched monkey wap X Jim is coming out with.

            The cheating bit is TBC, but if proven, you have a point. Though I will say that other clubs have had the same or similar resources and just don't scout well enough and aren't selective enough.

              TBC indeed! One thing I am certain of is City won't get the punishment they deserve. Teams of high-powered lawyers tying the PL in knots and ambassadors being called from embassies to talk to governments will make sure of that!

      City spend badly all the time (£100m on Grealish, £55m on Nunes, £50m on Phillips, £55m on Doku) - it just doesn't get talked about because:

      A) they win everything anyway
      B) they have a tiny fan-base so nobody bothers writing about them

          Never seen so much inaccurate rubbish on one thread.

          In 8 years at the club Pep has purchased Angelino, Gomez, Mendy and Gvardiol as outright LBs. You can throw Ake and Zinchenko in if you want. Profit made on Angelino, Gomez and Zinc (30 mil profit for him). Ake and Gvardiol still there and great players. Mendy is the only flop and that wasn't really about football was it (you probably tore up your FPL team to get in him at one point), injuries and depravity were what made him a failure.

        Grealish was over priced but that was the release clause. He hasn't been a flop by any means though anyway. He was great in treble season and injured in large patches last. Way too early to state Doku is a bad transfer. He's lightning over 5 yards and name me a better dribbler, yes final product needs improvement but christ, he's 22 and only played one season in PL. Nunes and Philips are valid but good luck naming a top 6 (and below for that matter) team that have had zero big money transfer fails. You appear to put your agenda ahead of facts as there can be genuine criticism of City for a lot of things, but if you look at the transfer policy, it's objectively good with profit made on sold players regularly. Only have to go back a week for 50 mil profit on Alvarez. There's plenty of other examples you can choose to ignore.

        Your 2nd point is equally unreliable as the facts again show otherwise, just comes across as bitter.

          - Grealish has spent more time crashing his car drink-driving than contributing on the pitch. Paying £100m for a bloke to sell shirts and win fouls is a crazy overpay.
          - Doku scored in like 2 games last season playing as an attacking winger for the best team in the country. Dan James was lightning in a straight line too. Obviously it's early days to write him off completely, but it's fair to say another overpay.
          - No one is saying no other club has big money fails, my point was you only hear about the Antonys, Darwins, Lukakus, Pepes, etc because it gets clicks.

          You're trying to argue that City don't have a small fanbase? Only have to look at other clubs' social media followings to see:

          United - 676k subreddit users / 38m Twitter followers / 64m Instagram followers
          Liverpool - 555k / 25m / 46m
          Chelsea - 428k / 26m / 42m
          Arsenal - 405k / 22m / 30m
          Spurs - 182k / 9m / 17m
          City - 171k / 18m / 55m (sus)

            We'll have to disagree on Grealish, but you won't find many City fans who don't rate him. He had a poor last season (and injury niggles a factor there) but was a key player in the treble winning season. His attacking numbers could be better overall but he brings a lot more to the team than just that, intelligent inter and hold-up play and a vastly different option to the other wingers. I'm not saying he has been a brilliant signing and I do think he was over-priced, but he hasn't been a flop by any means either.

            Doku can beat a man better than anyone in the division. He needs to improve final ball/shot and decision making but too early to say over-spend. Amazing potential and very exciting to watch.

            You've highlighted 4 supposed transfer flops and two of which I grant are, but other 2 debatable, and you've left out the many more successful transfers and recoups. I just don't get your point, it looks to be deliberately distorted because you don't like City.

            Ha, depends how you judge fan base. I couldn't give a monkeys how many social media followers there are or how many club branded USB sticks they sell in the Jakarta. Gates seems a much better way to measure it for me. There's been a season ticket waiting list for years and every league game sold out. I mean, used to get 30K every week in the 3rd tier of the football league.

                    I'm not claiming to have massive support whatever you deem that to be (seems to be twitter followers and such). It's of no importance to me how many plastic fans we have worldwide, the lower the better IMO. You keep to your ill informed opinions and stick to your narrative though Chief. You've seen selective pictures taken in injury time (that is something I won't deny, too many go early) or half time for meme value. I laugh at the Paddy Power etc stuff on other clubs as much as anyone else, but doesn't mean I swallow it as true. I'll stick to facts. You can't buy season tickets and it's hard to even buy match tickets, they sell them all well in advance now which is annoying. What my eyes tell me every home PL game, it's full.

                      I’ve been to a City match where it’s been absolutely dead and the line was “people get bored of seeing us beat the small teams.”

                      The club very clearly lies about every match being a sellout too.

      What criteria are you rating them on? City have loads of money and they waste a lot of it. Brihhton are overrated. A brutal defence and a few tippy tappy lads like Mitoma, delighted to get into Europa League. Arguably Arsenal have dome good dealings under Arteta, getting rid of Ozil and Aubameyang off the books was shrewd. Villa have been shrewd under Emery too.

        Few things I disagree with there, firstly Brighton are fantastic. The majority of their signings have either risen in value hugely and been sold for profit or become mainstays in their team when most of us had probably never heard of them before. I have to admit they do seem to be going uncharacteristically gong-ho this summer though....

        As for villa, they got bailed out by the Saudis with Diaby and Buendia is nowhere near it

          Brighton have too many boys, not enough men. Rely too much on playing fancy football but don't like a physical game. Too prone to get turned over by a tougher team. Nice to watch at times but too teams don't fear them.

          Villa are in the Champions League in a month.

        Getting a good coach is more important than potfuls of cash on players. Watkins was a converted winger when Villa signed him but Emery has boosted his confidence, transformed him into a top Premier League striker and a very goid option fir England. Can't believe Emery is still underrated.

          Completely agree, but Villa do have very wealthy owners to boot and are backing Emery with decent signings. Not world class per say, but signings that Emery is able to mould in to his philosophy and develop/improve (like Watkins as you point out).

        Did you see the way he was limping around? Couldn't walk it off. I'm pessimistic

    331717 players have transferred in Mazraoui so far, the most by a country mile yet no price rise as off yet. Quansah had a £0.1m drop when he surpassed 10k transfers out. Is Mazraoui price locked?

      New addition to game, needs another player to rise to calibrate

      Hasn't Trippier's wife left him? So no need for a box.

      Newcastle's next 5 fixtures are horrible from a defensive perspective, in fact up to GW10 they'll do well to get more than two cleansheets and Livra doesn't offer much in terms of attack returns of bps.

    Would you move one of either Bowen or Gordon out for Jota this GW? I don't have Salah.

    Thinking about it, the new chip is gonna be auto captain I think. It will be a powerful chip to use in a double. If that is the chip, maybe we won’t have enough doubles to play all our chips. There will be some blank gws though where FH or something can be played.

    If auto captain did exist and you and TC too. Which would you use in a double? If someone like Haaland has obvious fixtures then TC, but if mixed?

        Highest scoring player that week gets the armband. It would be good in a double gameweek. Sometimes a random defender hauls, and often, people had terrible luck with captain in double gw.
