His bank manager would probably deny it was a bad move for a journeyman pro.

He was fucking shite and I hated watching him play for us. I wanted to skin him alive when he turned down a big money move to QPR.
Well he turned down a big money move to QPR because he liked Liverpool FC and was ambitious to succeed at Anfield. I thought he had a great attitude although of course his statistics count against him.
Sometimes you like a player who maybe isn't all that good. QV Igor Biscan. The Kop loved him! 😀
Who wouldn't when he went *balls out* !
I wouldn't go that far. City are only allowed to field 11 players!
De Bruyne ---- D.Silva ----------- Sterling
------------------ Sanchez --------------------
Dembele ------- B.Silva ------------- Sane
-------------------- Jesus ----------------------

Guardiola's version of "two banks of four".

Man city will hopefully get beat by physical teams that aim to turn the game into a scrappy long ball fuckfest. The tactics that so many used against us last year would be equally as successful as they are a team of show boating midgets.
They will however thrash those poncy clubs that show up with the 'keep it tight, but play football' shite. I'm looking at De Boer - 6 nil against him?

City also speaking to Spurs about Kyle Walker. Presumably, in the current transfer climate, this will be another 40M transfer? Not sure how long he has on his contract but 26 yo, England #1 RB, Levy factor, be amazed if it wasn't.
Spurs have given the other RB a new 5 yr deal, he looked mustard at the end of last season.

As Spurs fans themselves admit, Trippier isn't anywhere near as good defensively as Walker, nor does he have his pace - which is very effective both defensively and when attacking. He is however far better at crossing (5 assists in just over 500 mins) and supposedly better in possession. I'd be happy if they lost Walker because one of their main strengths was their defence and anything that weakens it is fine with me. They will also be short of depth in that area, another positive with a long season of PL/CLFAC/LC ahead.
Sane will start ahead of Sterling - he's already better than him.
If they're going to play 2-4-4, why are they buying fullbacks?
The '2' will be the fullbacks. No central defence, which may well be more effective than John Stones, anyway.
Revolutionary.

That was actually supposed to show their embarrassment of riches, with a bank of four top level attackers starting, and an equivalent bank of four on the bench.
edit: Wait... am I being whooshed?
I thought he retired
I'd be surprised if quite a large chunk of that spend wasn't covered by the seemingly inevitable sale of Lukaku for £80m or whatever. I think The Bitters have mentioned £100m actually.
Either way, they're doing some interesting business. I like Keane. Good passer. Don't know too much about the other signings, apart from Pickford.
Am sure it will be, but it's still decent business by them. Keane and Williams should be a solid CB pairing, and Pickford seems to be a decent keeper. That'll be a good foundation. Klaasen is supposed to be quite good too, at least according to people on here.
Sandro Ramirez is supposed to be the replacement for Lukaku. No idea about him, but we ourselves were linked to him. Then that Onyekuru lad they've signed is supposed to be a big talent. Also, they have Lookman who looks to be a superb talent.
Koeman's doing some good work. They should challenge for top 6 again.

Thats us without CL football.
No idea what you mean unless you think that having offers declined = a done deal for higher fees.
Their defence was clearly their weakness and it's looking much better. Lookman does look like a great find unfortunately. However, losing Barkley and Lukaku is going to take some doing to replace, especially Lukaku, because they looked absolutely toothless without him. If whoever they get to replace him up front isn't an instant hit then they are going to struggle to get anywhere close to the Top 6.
I've asked a Dutch pal about Klaassen. He rates him as decent rather than outstanding and isn't sure (a) how well he'll do in the Prem or (b) what job Everton have in mind for him. The way he summed it up was that "Klaassen will probably be a bigger loss to Ajax than he'll be a help to Everton".
I obviously mean that it's a lot easier to sign top players if you can off CL football.
