I mean we where chasing silva for about 3 years and then out of the blue city come in with a massive offer for a player they've only being looking at for about a month. As you can see I can't believe he has gone to man city. there building a good team though:(
Are they really building a good TEAM though? I don't think there is a realistic aim as to what formation/players/philosophy should be used. Its an English version of Real Madrid, buy several players for the same position and throw a team together, I wouldn't be surprised if Man City went the whole season with a starting XI different to the previous match, with maybe a few players playing every game, but too much rotation (far worse than what rafa was being criticized for early in his reign with us...wrongly in my view). I don't think there is any real goal to man citys project, they're seeing what players can and can't be bribed by money and working a lottery type system of throwing a team together and hoping they play well enough to win a trophy. Can't see it happening as other teams will be far more organised over the whole season.
