Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not sure we can afford to let Wilshere go. Most of our midfield options would look more at home at Watford than a top 6 club.

Agreed. His new pay to play contract is quite lucrative, I think we are charging him 30K a game plus another 10 if he scores.

Top 6 transfer (net) spend 2017-18 (covering the summer and January windows)

@ManCity: £191.7m
@ManUtd: £127m
@LFC: £10m
@ChelseaFC: £68.1m
@SpursOfficial: £14.8m
@Arsenal: (–)£7.6m

Gabriel? When did he go?

Oh yeh

In the summer I guess?

At least we aren't limping along like poor old Pep and his gypo paupers. Poor bastards.

[Cripps]

Exactly.

Out:
Ox
Coq
Theo
Giroud
Debuchy
Sanchez

Loan:
Akpom

In:
Davros
Mhiki
Auba

Anyone I've missed?

I think the club's argument is they are making the squad leaner but upgrading and improving its quality.

Mikhi > Theo
Auba <> Sanchez

The silly one was selling Giroud. I still don't get it. I guess they're looking at it and thinking Giroud is 31 and only gonna go downhill, we've upgraded Walcott and replaced Sanchez. So they think quality has increased and all by spending nothing as we're in a surplus over the last 2 windows. So all about quality and not about quantity.

Also anyone that says project youth was nothing but a disaster is wrong. It still affects us to this day. Look how long it took to shift Ox and Theo, the latter on silly wages.

I get the argument that we need to make the squad leaner and more efficient and improve its quality but imo we've made it too lean. We have a small squad now and for a team that has injuries regularly it doesn't bode well.

We also don't have a plan B now.

West Ham don’t want to sign African players because they cause mayhem.

And the guy has been suspended.

So, do African players cause mayhem? Is there an answer to it? Perhaps they do. Maybe they don't? Are we allowed to ask the question?

[Marc Overmars]

Giroud was never going to play and it's tough to expect someone who's scored over 100 goals for the club to sit on the bench just in case he's needed, he's spent the last 18 months phased out of the team. Can understand why we let him go, just wished we were a little bit more ruthless and flogged him on our terms in the summer.

I think they are generally, well behaved.

It's only when they start dealing drugs, robbin, shooting and banging their spears against their shields that people start to take offence

Sanllehi starts today.

although that is more or less the current league positions. And does it really matter if City spend money, they are actually pretty good to watch and De Bruyne is quality.
