      You can see why the gamble was taken.
      At one point looked to be a player in the same mould as Thiago.
      Unfortunately he seems just as prone to injuries.
      Issue is that the club is forced into taking these gambles.


      Yea.  The profile looked right but hadn't worked out.

      I've nothing against loan signings like this, in fact I don't think we utilise that avenue enough, but this one appears to have been a bit hit and hope.



      If we have another signing of this type this summer it needs to be to add to at least 2 too level CM not in place of.

      There are enough players that are out of contract that loan signings shouldn't be a factor.

      Or out of contract. Think that's what I'm getting at in a round about way and actually you're right it's the out of contract market we never make the most of.

      I know Klopp etc are very particular in what player they want


      The VVD transfer was a perfect example - went for him in the summer , fecked up but clearly wanted to wait for him


      Waited for Konate , waited for Werner but then Klopp decided was too expensive etc


      This seems to be the extreme case

      Come the summer he wanted someone in who was going to replace a Naby or Ox who would be leaving this summer ( get them in a year earlier ) hence why going for Tchoumeni and Bellingham

      But then when they couldn’t arrive he was happy to stick with what he had in midfield because it did well last season but it didn’t take long for the three players to get injured and then they panicked


      Instead of looking to buy someone because they have specific targets they went stop gap so that they could then focus on the main targets this season

      I know fingers get pointed at people on suits but imo this was all down to the recruitment and manager.

      I have no idea what midfielders they could have brought in but a Tielemans at £20mil wouldn’t have been a bad shout

      Oh wow, had forgotten all about him, but you are right, the posts do read kind of the same. I always felt like I was reading someone who English was their 4th or 5th language. Very educated, but not so good at getting their point across in English...and it made it sound like he was always insulting you ;D

      I've noticed you've picked three players from the pre fsg era. Is your loyalty that strong to them that you refuse to call them out on even something like signing this numpty?

      Knee jerk of all knee jerk signings.
      But he has made his mark and will never be forgotten. He will always be remembered for celebrating a City goal with Guardiola.
