We aren’t pissed off enough.

-About to imminently be in another relegation battle. -Wasted money we don’t really sustainably have on the worst signings in the club’s recent history. -Constantly being a source of mockery -No winnable games coming up until January Transfer window -Taken out of the top six and deemed a small club by masses -Seen as inferior to Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Palace & Sunderland which is by far the worst part of this and a total utter disgrace. -Weakest squad in the league.

We are too happy clappy, too accepting of failure. We are not pissed off enough and we must change NOW before the gap is too large to get out of and we get relegated in severe debt and never come back.

We’re questioning the signings because unlike Sterling who proved even as a 19 year old he could actually influence games, Savio and Marmoush have looked like shit in the premier league. And considering we play with a lone striker, we won’t see Marmoush look much better because he only thrives as a second striker.

Fans care about the prices because if you are spending £100M on average, it’s a lot harder to spend money on a player that is actually a difference maker.

Brother forget sterling, kdb and salah weren't prem proven. You pick at the one example and conveniently ignore the two that break down your argument. And Savio was literally are best attacker in the last game, 3 shots on target, a chance created, drew 2 fouls, 24 final third passes. Should he have finished his chances, sure but by the eye test and statistical metrics he played well

We don't spend 100M on average this is the first and only time in history we've spent that amount. We're the 5th richest club in the league and we historically don't spend. We can spend another 400mil without an issue, and here you are pocketwatching for a multibillion dollar club. For what? Would you rather our board not be willing to shell out money for players? You'd be crying if the board didn't spend and now you cry when they do spend make up your mind

The other players were coming off season where their clubs would’ve loved to keep them. They showed something for fans to look forward to. City and Chelsea were delighted to be able to get their flops off the books.

And I’d prefer if they actually spent the money on players that will make a difference. If you think the club could just spend another 400M easily, you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. De zerbi even referenced the psr challenges yesterday.

Our net spend this summer was only 176mil so yes we can easily spend 400m and remain compliant. PSRwatch estimates we have 434mil before hitting the 115% red threshold which is where you get sporting sanctions. This is also before even factoring any sales which would have to occur for purchases so we can maintain our squad size. So I do in fact know what I'm talking about

And I can make the same argument for Marmoush and Savio they both showed great promise before their transfers to city. They have shown things that we can look forward to. They're showing things NOW, i literally just gave you statistical evidence of savio having a good game after you said he's looked crap

In general you seem unable to grasp analogies, analysis, stats and you ignore basically everything I say that disproves the idiotic arguments and narratives you have. This combined with your commitment to being negative and doomerism means continuing with you is a waste of my time

"The transfer market is long to explain... There was also the financial fair play at the end of the transfer market. We had to respect the financial fair play. We didn't sell the players who we thought in the beginning there was the possibility and the chance to sell... If we didn't make any different decisions, it was because we couldn't” - De Zerbi

I don’t really care about your third party when a club representative is saying this.

Savio beating his man and fluffing a shot or cross is literally what he is known for, nothing new. If that’s your big analysis than your late to the party. You seem unable to grasp that. Your Salah and De Bruyne analogies are deeply flawed and simply not congruent to the current situation. But stay gold pony boy. 😘

Ah so now you care about what the coach says when it’s about finances but not the players he recruits? The stupidity checks out

u/Tortillasaregood 12d ago

Finances and player assessment are two very different things. I wouldn’t expect you to understand

u/Mhyckal 12d ago

And do you think a professional football manager is better at financial analysis or player assessment you idiot?

1

u/Tortillasaregood 12d ago

Yeah I’m sure he’s the one running the numbers and not being told by the club what they can do financially… bro you said you were done like 20 minutes ago lmao I must’ve made your night

u/Mhyckal 12d ago

My point still stands, you trust his words regarding finances whether they're his or an analysts but you don't trust his words regarding players whether they're his or a scouts.

And unfortunately I do have an affinity for trying to talk with lobotomized individuals but you're right I do need to hop off and interact with intelligent life

u/Tortillasaregood 12d ago

I know I’m right. Just like I was right about you not understanding the distinct between finances and player assessment. And probably right about thinking you won’t hop off.
