Raconteur Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I was just thinking that Shelvey is one of the last people (along with Joelinton and Charnley) we'll be able to say "This cunt still here?" with real venom... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could get a solid spine of a team based on dudes we couldn’t properly/effectively develop. Kevin would be on my list for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Apparently de Ligt is being offered to Chelsea as Juve want him off their wage bill. Get ten Hag in for fortunes to lure him in. He could be our captain for the next 10 years. Edited October 27, 2021 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Man City's best signings during their early days were also not bought for top money. I will take a Kompany or Zabaleta here any day. Doesn't have to be big names or big money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 What, since when did we get a fax machine? Fucking hell, our new owners don’t mess about! From pigeons dying while delivering messages to fax machines… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From pigeons dying while delivering messages to fax machines… One of Mikes schemes to prevent last minute transfer bids on deadline day- Charnley and Bruce weren’t clever enough between them to use it.

Luck could pay a part but a big part is also on the correct scouting setup, to identify the de Bruynes, Lukakus and Salah that Chelsea signed.

Dokko Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Think in Kompanys case it was that the transfer was arranged but didn't sign until end of the season as he wanted to finish his a levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompany was already well thought of but wasn't considered an 'elite' player. He was good, but became so much better at City. I'd suggest if he wasn't playing for them when he was at his best for them he would have been a 40-50m player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also goes to show that just scouting talents will only get you so far. Without a solid group for them to learn from, a well thought out development plan and a system that fits their style of play, you'll end up like Manchester United.

Rafalove Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Think the reports about them trying to get Rafa are true. Just seems like the most likely “big name” they’d be after. Given his history and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 It seems a fair amount of Everton fans would be quite happy to see us take Rafa off their hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
