Why are you certain that Pep wanted more players? Apart from Laporte/Bonnuci, who both decided they wanted to stay where they are, where is the evidence that we wanted more and furthermore where is the evidence that our inability to sell these players you've mentioned has impacted our ability to get who we want?
I am certain Pep wanted Aubamepingpong from Dortmund and also a wing back, on the left or right and certain he will try to get them in the january window.
Things with the Gabon chap was weird as fuck. City were in advanced talks then nothing and we did not bring anyone there either. Well, Jesus is a different type of player, while Moreno is still a mistery.
Our balance this summer is not good, if we look just at transfers. We paid what? I say 70 mil + addons that will bring the money to something like 150. We sold what? Dzeko, hopefully for 20 mil. What about the rest?
I agree, we took to much on selling our players and we can see that now. I still have no idea how/if Inter is still paying for Jovetic.
I think our balance on the field is quite excellent at the moment. And that's what I watch each week. I don't turn up to examine the P&L and cash flow statements, cheering wildly when the numbers add up. I'm not an arsenal fan droning on about "net spend".
The Sheikh has a personal fortune of £17 billion, with a family fortune of at least $1 trillion. We can afford it. And it really doesn't matter in the large picture when you factor in TV deals, sponsors and global merchandise sales.
We've had a bunch of players who are good, but proved to be not up for it last year (and from when Pep has seen so far this year). So we're moving them on to make way for better players.
Plus Bony at Stock makes it more likely they'll take points off the rags & chavs
Cheer up you miserable bastard
