After all transactions added and subtracted... Liverpool made £10 mil in the Summer and winter windows for 16/17 and 17/18. Citey spent £358 mil in those same windows. Please don’t compare the two. It’s disingenuous.


Are you this dumb? I have not once criticized Liverpool for their total spending.

Next time read my post, dumb frick

By the way calling out Liverpool and saying they are driving up the price of defenders because they paid £71 mil for VVD is really rich being Citey has spent £50 EACH on 4 DEFENDERS in the same timeframe. If anything VVD’s price was so high because of what those went for.


3 of whom were at the World Cup and one is a World Cup champion.

Let me know when your £70 mil dollar man isn’t sitting on his arse during the sport’s biggest stage.

That's like saying Bale isn't worth as much because he is from Wales.

Since when are Wales even remotely comparable to the Netherlands in terms of international success and talent?

No need to name call Nancy.

I did read your post. But apparently you didn’t read both of mine.

You called out Pool for driving prices up.
Citey was the one driving up the price of defenders by avg £50 mil each for Stones Walker Mendy and Laporte.

Pool was just paying what they had to for a top defender because City was buying up defenders and dropping £50 mil a pop like it’s nothing. Because it is nothing to you. Your club has an endless supply of oil money.

Enjoy it. I would love a oil sugar daddy.

VVD played in 6 of the 10 qualifiers. They went 4-1-1 in those games (1-0 loss to France, 1-1 draw at Sweden), and only allowed 5 goals. In the 4 games he was not a part of (he was injured for at least 2 of them), they won 2, lost 2, and allowed 7 goals.

Except two of those players are English and Laporte had a buyout.

VVD was £70 mil because you lot have raided Southampton dry and used them as a B squad for the last five years.

It has nothing to do with City. Get over your little brother mentality.

Ultimately, 71 is A LOT more than the 50ish we paid for Laporte, Stones, Mendy, or Walker. Plus, Laporte, Stones, and Mendy are all still only 24.

You aren't going to find a City fan on here complaining about any other team's net spend. We are a fairly realistic bunch.

Our net spend will always be in the red. We aren’t a selling club.

Eden Hazard reportedly has verbally agreed to join RM. RM now must contact Chelsea.
