It is by far the best we could have hoped for after fucking up the top four race

If we can land Martinez, Raphina and maybe Tielemans as well, you’d have to say that is the most exciting transfer window we would have had in as long as anyone can remember.

...or you could say otherwise and observe that Jesus is a multiple title winner of great talent in his prime years who has chosen AFC despite the lack of CL football, and therefore clearly belives in what the club is trying to do. A great example of cup half full or empty...

Matt Turner has signed. (Who?)

Back up keeper so that should mean Leno will be flogged.

Your could, but I will stick with the former :lol:

Aye, that would be an incredible window that I doubt anyone could complain about. Tough to see it happening but it's be a monumental step forward as a squad.

Aye, I'm naw exactly blown away by Jesus but maybe it's just familiarity with him and that's it's been kinda drawn out.

Taking a more objective look at it, it's seems a really solid signing getting a proven, established, winner in at 25 years old for under 50m.

A solid signing indeed. ;)

Still has the stench of what should be rivals cast off though.

I think we have to accept that we are not City's rivals right now.
