Yes he's bit of a cock, I wish he was our arrogant cock to be honest, we could have done with his leadership in Rodders absence.
How can Real be the biggest draw when Haaland turned them down last season and Mbappe has left them on strings for about 3 season now - to the point he signed a new deal with PSG rather than go there.
Tabas was kicking off crying that they couldn’t attract their targets the other year - and blaming us for it.

Rice turned us down, no? Bellingham turned us down, no? Apparently Mc Allister turned us down for vermins? We dont know if its media bullshit or some truth behind it. I'll stand corrected, I don't think Real went for Haaland, their no1 target was Mbappe, money turned his head as suppose footballing reasons.
You can make a case, I still don't think we're there yet speaking without my blue tinted glasses.

Who said Mcallister turned us down?
Give your head a wobble mate, you can’t just make things up.
We went to £90m for Rice and Arsenal paid more. Doesn’t sound like he turned us down.
Bellingham is the only example of a player turning City down for Real in recent years.

I had wet dreams, must be some kind of fetish fantasy, I made it up getting out of bed drooling. Or maybe just maybe it might have been some vermin fantasised reported it last month (Google chrome).
Didn't Van dick rejects us too? Again, whether it's true or bullshit, you'll have to take it up with the media before you bite my head off.
I really can't comfortably say we're number one draw, not yet, we're not far off and I'm sure some will disagree. That's just my honest opinion.

Nope on VVD. In the Amazon doc for City they say we didn’t think he was worth £75m

I don't recall Rice turning us down. I'm not sure how much we really wanted him, but from most reports it seems we offered 90m, whereas Arsenal paid 105m, so he was always going to Arsenal.
Regarding Haaland, he literally had all of the top clubs chasing him. If you haven't seen it, watch the documentary Haaland: The Big Decision. They go into real detail about how he chose his next club after Dortmund (choosing us over Bayern, Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool).

Valverde is another Pep player who is miles better than Nunez or Phillips or Kovacic
Again, possibly unobtainable and has now this week signed a contract extension

Nunes, kova and Phillips cost over £120m
I'd rather have Valverde for that than these three, I'm sure Real would have been tempted to sell for over 100m

When you look at those 3 and what thry cost it really is eye watering. Its quantity over quality. And I'm sure we have a young lad, someone like a Doyle, to be a squad player like Phillips is
Hindsight is great of course. But Valverde just looks a class act

The two Liverpool midfielders that they brought in over the summer for next to fuck all seem to be Pep types.

The Hungarian very much so. Very impressed with what I've seen so far. Always looking to pass forward and not afraid to shoot, which are two attributes I like in a midfielder
Not so much with Mac Allister. Seems a little slow for me, mistimes more than his share of tackles

Never in my life seen Walker play as a right winger. In general his delivery into the box is usually poor, so hopefully we never need to!

On that McAtee or Doyle would offer more than That Philips. They both know the drills they would be more than a mascot. I hate to say it but how Kalvin is getting picked for England needs explanation.
