    How the **** can you compete with that type of spending.
    I still think there is value in the market if you buy clever and decisively. Spot the player and go in with the right fee as opposed to fannying about in negotiations before being gazzumped. We just need to get our business done early - if we want VVD and Keita then pay want they want and if the player doesn't want to come move on to choice no 2.

    Silva was already a top player at Benfica before he joined Monaco and paid a decent fee for him at the time.

      Let's hope they turn into Nani and Anderson

        This.

        Important to keep in mind that we're also going to be hit for paying extra being a PL and CL side (hopefully).
        This is the price for wanting to be a top side.

            If Guardiola gets those 2 in what backing he is getting. Watch and learn FSG.

                      Me neither.

                      I'm cool with that.

                          Pisses me off how other teams are constantly signing players as soon as the season ends while we wait till mid july to sign a southampton player.

                              City need defenders more than anything. They can keep signing attackers as far as I am concerned.

                                Best to get your whinging in now - just in case we spend plenty and spend it well depriving people of the opportunity to whine they were already denied when we made top four.
