Confirmed Signing Allan

[Osamabindiesel]

mate Man City Lashed Money about and eventually it works.

Man City did it at a time when the whole league wasn’t rich. Now everyone has money and the prices inflated drastically. If anything, we got the billionaire owner too late.

A decent Brazilian midfielder from a good CL team? I'm fully on board with this.

Who's upset you this time, Allan?

Not to mention the spending isn't even close to equal. We've gone over 150m spent once and it was the window we sold Lukaku. City have gone over that mark constantly including back in the 2010 range when fees weren't nearly as high on average.

If we keep doing it, soon enough it will click

We are not backed by a state tho

no we’re still not backed by kenwright neither

I don't think it's as simple as that but each to their own.
I certainly don't advocating throwing money at it until our chairman or regulations say "no more". For me, that's where we are at now and we've arguably got a worse squad than Martinez's last season.That's regression.

throw it until we’re good

Took City a few years to get it right. They bought some serious amount of dross for big amounts (Benjani, Santa Cruz even Robinho to an extent) however they have a lot more money than us and were able to easily continue to pump out the cash for players. In one window they signed the right players though, 09/10 they brought in Gareth Barry, Kolo Toure, Tevez - then the following year David Silva, Dzeko, Milner and Yaya Toure. That season was the first time they finished in the top 4.

Allan could be one of those key players for us - he's the same age now as Barry was when he signed for City and he completely settled the midfield. Get him signed up.

oh they have a lot More but if usmanov is here then I dont see a problem

we've spent nearly 450m since 2016 and got worse, Money fixes absolutely nothing these days.

we've spent nearly half a billion since 2016 and got worse, Money fixes absolutely nothing these days.

lol ok lad

 

[matty1878]

Man City didn’t “lash money about”, they spent large amounts of money and spent it very well, they didn’t sign players from the bottom half of the Premier League for £30m-£50m fees.

they lashed money about no matter. And they’re early signings weren’t all great

Mate, Man City were signing the likes of Tevez and Adebayor from teams that were finishing in the Champions League places and were first teamers. We haven’t made a single statement signing anywhere close to that in 4 years since we started “lashing money about”. Stop comparing us to Man City immediately.
