Don't see how people can call Pep's record on buying defenders "abysmal" when he's brought in Ederson, Walker and Laporte- Golden Gloves, Laporte has got a better minute per goal ratio than VVD and Walker has been immense.
If Laporte had been fit all season or if Van Dyk had had an injury like Laporte had it would probably have been as close as last season and that's without the VAR cock ups.

Stones 50 million FUCKING SHITE.

Clownio Bravo - 17 MILLION -- FUCKIGN CLOWN.

Lump of SHIT Mendy 52 million FUCKING MEGA SHITE

Danilo 26 million waste of time

Cancelo - 60 million (Nowhere fuckign near worth 60 million )

Pedro Porro - bought for 11 million and never played one single game for us -- we are offloading him to Sporting before season starts for 8 million euros.

Id call that fuckign abysmal.

Surprised you didn't put your usual "fact" in.
I suppose you didn't as it's not.
Danilo and Cancelo both good players. Danilo did a good job for us. Cancelo has started to. Mendy looked great when he first came until the injury and has started to look good again since the restart. I don't think anyone questioned the Stones deal at the time.
Not a manager ever that's got it right every time. We all knew about Walker but how good have Laporte and Ederson been.

Danilo is a massive mistake he never let us down. Is The Barca interest in Bernardo the reason he as been shocking. this the second time .

I would also take Abu from Arsenal his 20+ goals would be 30+ over a 2 year period would be very handy.

Hes not getting the blame for signing Stones as well is he?
Mendy injuries, not so sure he can take the blame for them.
Danilo wasnt bad at all, he wanted to go.
Cancelo has been very good recently.
Ill give you your Bravo.

What have injuries got to do with Mendy just being pure shite? Getting pushed off the ball and caught out of position are nothing to do with injuries!

alternative to Kob is Jose Gimenez of Athletico Madrid. He'll cost a fortune to prize him away, think his release clause is 110m euros or something.

We need to unearth a gem, I'm starting to have doubts about Kob, his age and pace is a concern the more I think about it. One name springs to mind is Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzeg, only 21, strong with pace, bags of potential, younger version Kob but with pace, worth a punt

WTF has that got to do with spunking 102 million on 2 players who have failed at City ? 1 of which is going to be sold for 30 million less and if any idiot comes in for Mendy then I'm sure even PeP will knock one out ! yet you still want to give him credit for that ?

Thank fuck your not a financial director.

Pep gets credit where credits due but some fans need to take off their blue tinted specs and hold their hands up when hes fucked up...and he has been found wanting in the defensive area of our squad for a long time......we lost 9 games and shipped loads of goals..those are the facts Hazy.

Lost 9 games IS a fact. Shipped loads of goals ISN'T. We shipped 2 more than Liverpool, imagine if the Laporte /VVD injury would have been the other way round.

Compared to last year we shipped in 12 more goals and lost 5 more games...so the defense has gotten worse, even though we have thrown hundreds of millions at it.

Its no good imagining anything - the facts are our defense has been dire, especially for a team who wants to be the CL champions and no one should argue the fact we need it sorted once and for all with all the duds like Mendy and Stones being shipped out.

Seeing as we are going flat out for defenders , Id say PeP also agrees.

Yes the defence needs improving, Otamendi is on his last legs, Stones seems to have given up and Garcia looks like he's off.

But to dismiss the impact of Laporte's injury is ridiculous. We kept 11 clean sheets in the 14 games he started.

Carl on your day top poster but those day's are mixed in with a vendetta attitude to opinions and that's football is it not all about opinions not getting hissy, Fact is we score shed loads we concede very few, We have had no left side all season without Laporte unlucky for us but massive for our game.. Pep is the greatest we have ever seen 100 points club one member City !, Friday night a one off game he had us at it at such a tempo reducing a cartel club to chasing shadows, the medias job we beat Madrid is downplay City we beat Lyon same shite. ! sit back and enjoy City now not the nit picking bollocks of Pep.

''vendetta attitude to opinions''...............Eh ? Hazy , challenging someones opinion isn't a fucking vendetta to that opinion ...its a challenge FFs !!!

When someone defends PeP for our defensive line ups and shit signings , this will be challenged...and I have given you some facts , admittedly ,leaking shed loads of goals is not a fact but rather an exaggeration by me but the signing of shit defensive players is indeed a fact....and an expensive 100 million plus fact.

You need to get off your sensitive step Hazy and challenge the challenger with counter opinions that contain facts and not the blue tinted spec responses that contain a '' Pep is the greatest we have ever seen '' point in it as that will not win you the debate.

PeP has chopped and changed the defense all season long and this has been detrimental to getting any kind of defensive consistency and its cost us - Mendy leaving it to Gundo (I think it was him ) in midfield cost us , to name but one incident of many....you will never get that kind of situation when you have a settled back 4..or settled back 3 (even taking injuries into account)

I admit when I'm wrong Hazy but I also strive to do plenty of homework before getting into a real debate , not that that makes me right , as my right is someone else's wrong ,but it at least gives me a debating chance to win the topic of conversation - what I don't do is wear blue tinted specs and refuse to criticize a manager that got us 100 points ! as if that is some kind of diplomatic immunity.

I'm always at peace...the uniform is packed away for the pending zombie apocalypse - for now I'm at peace.

I did not dismiss the impact of Laporte's injuries - I said PeP has been pretty abysmal in the defensive signings department and also I have added he has been pretty abysmal in the constant chopping and changing of the back 3 or 4 all season - he actually holds that record of most chopping and changing.

I find little to counter argue those points.

The counter argument of those points is the dippers hardly changed the defence all season and conceded 2 less than us.
We hardly conceded a goal when Laporte played.
If the Gundogan/Mendy cock up is down to changing the defence constantly, how come dippers lost at Arsenal with 2 howlers.

We are a risk taking team, Pep said it many times. I believe we take our chances no game is an issue. Problem is we are wasteful and it will cost us. What was you thinking as Jesus bullied Varanne ?
