It’s going to be a strange market when it opens again. Transfer values will have dropped except for when we’re involved.
Thinking about our recent transfer activity it’s not been great has it?
Laporte is the last real success we’ve had, before that Bernardo and Ederson arrived around the same time.
We must be due a decent signing at this stage

The outcome of the appeal will have a big bearing on it.

While clubs will have less money to spend, they will also want to get cash in, so I think prices will be lower but there will be some very hard bargaining.
I think we may also see more movement between PL clubs. For the past couple of years, with the large TV income, no PL club, not even the small ones, has needed to sell for financial reasons; its usually being the player wanting to move to a club with more chance of trophies or higher wages. Players on huge deals might not be so keen to move now if the new club can't match or better their current deal.

Raheem declaring he used to be a massive RAG fan ! I think we have some players who if we get banned are gone in a heart beat, don't kid yourself. If we want loyalty get a dog.

He said that before the FA Cup last season, let me guess it's resurfaced because some prick wrote that Utd might go for Sterling?
Aguero and DeBruyne used to be Liverpool fans.

Well if they want to they can fuck off.
We signed plenty of good players when we were not in the champions league in the past.
It's not as if we win the thing every other season.

Be truly gobsmacked if KDB went to the dippers.
1 - They haven’t enough money
2 - He is under contract and no way we sell to our nearest and arguably only rivals
3 - I would be very surprised if he himself would make the move
Stranger things have happened of course, I just don’t see it

Mahrez was a good signing, one of our better players this season
We havent signed a huge quantity of players the last two years but they have mostly been good.
What i dont get is our obsession with paying big money for second choice right backs!
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mahrez was a good signing imo. But when you consider his price tag he should have been an excellent signing.

If our case goes bad, we are back to the morning after Crouchy fucked us over under Bobby Manc. Players want CL KDB is 29 so just my thought he will want a crack at it. This is an attempt to fuck us derail us a s claw us backwards again. Pep in his last year. We get a year ban a couple of windows of no spending we are gonna struggle to keep Top players, the money is 8n the bank for any city top earner it’s CL now.

Exactly its money players sign for. Not the prospect of winning the CL. It's over played. But no doubt whatsoever if the ban is upheld, then it will be used as an excuse at every opportunity.

Pep KDB Raheem have 100 plus mill each plus another 100 wherever they play. I think we get banned it’s get me outta here.

I understand those points, but if they really want the CL then they could start by winning it this August!

To be honest, I couldn't care less. Not because of City, but because how I hate football these days.

I still love the game, probably always will. Used to love playing it, even though I had two left feet!
What we all hate is the commercialism, money, greed, vanity and corruption all of which seem to be worsening all the time.
Try to look past the crap to the beauty of the game, it's all we can do.

This forced paused of football got me watching retro games, mostly below 2000.
I swear football really was fun. Rewatched Euro 96 and World Cup 98 and I realised I still remember all the scores and groups as they were, for example, the argie gk that eliminated England in 98 one year later dropped football and joined an end of the world cult.

Looks like Chelsea are gonna sign Werner. Really like the look of him. Would’ve been a very decent signing at our end
