@UnitedStandMUFC 4 signings would almost guarantee top 4. All of them realistic and although I would prefer Grealish and Maddison to be included there is no chance of getting them in January.
Sancho - RW/LW
Eriksen - CM/CAM
Haaland - St
Rice - CDM or CB
£85m for Cody Gakpo would mean City's spending since January 2025 now totals £815.4m on 19 players. If Enzo Fernandez signs before the end of the transfer window, that takes it to £935.4m (€1.1 billion).
Two years since their hearing finished in December 2024. Three & a half years since they were charged in February 2023. Their cheating, corruption & financial doping, we are too numb to what a disgrace they are.
👏👏👏 @JoeSmith93
Last time Manchester United won the league, Gareth Bale won PFA Player of the Year, despite Spurs finishing fifth (and Robin van Persie won the golden boot too).
It's not all about the league winners!
Becoming blatantly obvious a select group of Premier League clubs have created a system of paying inflated fees to one another to bypass PL/UEFA's financial rules.
It has been happening for years & in the normal world would be fraud, but in football? It's just another day.
@Teamgyokeres Ashley Cole is the only one that could do with a pile of crap to sit on to give him a few extra inches… wait… surely there’s no other reason Carragher is in the conversation?! Wouldn’t even make a top 25 of all time prem defenders never mind sitting at the top table!
@AdamSalkie No debate. City are not big, yes they are a good football team… but corrupt to the core and nobody cares when they lift trophies as it’s not winning but cheating to get them. City were irrelevant pre the takeover and still are for different reasons.
@thecityshack What were the league finishes and trophy count in that time?
Any shit team can win a derby game.
City were irrelevant before breaking rules and becoming the biggest cheats in world football.
@tom_harrison95 It’s not about the spend alone though is it 🙄
It’s about being a tin pot club that generated nothing itself before breaking every rule possible.
Everyone knows City are corrupt which is why nobody actually cares when they lift trophies - as it’s not ‘winning’ but cheating.
@willCITY___ 😂😂😂 Mbuemo and Cunha know…. With some, money talks more and morals don’t come into it…. They value trophies no matter what rules need to be broken
@tom_harrison95 The first time in two years?? 😂
It’s never stopped, everyone knows that’s what he relies on.
How many academy players have played more than 50 games for City under Pep?
MCFC have been punished, twice, for egregious financial cheating (2014, 2020). They await a verdict on 115+ more counts, on which their lawyers are stalling. There is NO doubt they're a brilliant team with an all-time great manager. But they are cheats.

@David_Ornstein@TheAthleticFC 115, 116, 117, 118… etc etc.
For Semenyo…. Does he think he will play every week? Will be have the freedom to play his way? I think he will regret joining City… yes he will win a trophy or two … but his career will stall and he will not fulfill his full potential at City
