"Think"

[dom9]

City aren't a poor side. Think their inability to strengthen at the back cost them the league and also, it would have been a third season on the trot to keep that level going, which is extremely hard. Then there's our own excellence.

I don't know about inability as such, but it is interesting that they missed out on both their targets for defenders in the past two years - VvD and Maguire.

I'd hate to think where we'd be if VvD went there. A proper turning point.

Yep. Laporte was their plan 2 when they missed out on VVD and they didn't seemingly have a plan 2 when they lost out on Maguire and allied to the loss of Kompany, they were left with a hole at the back.

What was their plan 2 if they got Maguire?

[Norbs]

It said 'cost us the league ' which I corrected to 'cost them'.

Dunno what keyboard you're using

Blaming autocorrect for poor grammar is the new 'blaming the dog for farting' after you've quietly come close to soiling your pants and everyone else around you is gagging on the toxic fumes.

Not rushing laporte back like

Bit of a weird one - maybe they’ll try to put the game to bed by half time so they can hook him early?
