It’s gonna be a catch 22, don’t strengthen and we miss out on top 4 it’ll be woulda shoulda coulda.. invest and then people will say we’ve diminished our summer plans or that we probably would have done it either way. I think the fastest route to beat the FFP thing is to get CL money in as soon as we can, and for that reason I think we spend. But where? It’s hard to even nail down an area that we’re weak in because we haven’t been able to play our “strongest side” all season. A CM as despite Longstaff and Willocks incredible form, they are never going to have the quality to take us to the next level. A RW since Saint Max is always crocked.

Karius not going to be a 1st choice neither are the rest. Should we start looking at Bayern model of buying them relatively youngish give them a year experience then bring into the fold or sit on the bench ? Pope could play until he's 40. There is no situation in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bullied them up here so they will still be smarting from that I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised with the position we're in if it is not now getting CL. The revenue through sponsorship and commercial opportunities will not only increase quite significantly (compared to non CL qualification), but also will sail through any PL scrutiny.

cubaricho Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Today might’ve been just the kind of match we needed for the owners to pull the check book out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We could easily spend 100m in the next month, play well, and still not finish in the top 4. I’m sure the owners would love to push some chips in, but it has to be weighed against that possibility so that we’re not stuck in the summer. Opportunities that arise that are essentially bringing summer deals forward seems like the only sensible option, but it then may be a quiet summer if we’re not in the CL.

Gazzaschicken Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 We don't have the squad depth to get into UCL so we need to sign a lot of players. No point in getting into champions league and it crippling us so we finish 9th next season. Best to build and get into Europa or conference league for starters. A tournament where you can play younguns or second string and if you have a good run so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on our league finish among other things, if we do finish in CL for arguments sake then that opens more revenue and allows us to charge more for shirt sponsorship etc. This gives us that little more wiggle room with ffp and targets will be more attached to us because of our bigger league finish and CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Philips is currently being Pep’d. He was used to a certain standard at Leeds and now is having to adapt to Man City’s higher level. Grealish had the same last season. Philips will either emerge a much better player or if he fails to make the grade be cast off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw a media piece a few days back saying City aren’t expecting Perrone to do anything just yet - he’s for the future to replace players going on. If this is true then City won’t be in a rush to sell just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
