Theory on City with no real evidence whatsoever

0 Upvotes

Basically I’m just guessing based off their summer transfers. However I think that their window indicates that the verdict will come soon on their allegations, and I think it will just be a fine and transfer ban, no points deductions.

They’ve spent a ridiculous amount this window with Fernandez Anderson the Moroccan and a few others. More than when they used to sign 5 60 mil players that were quality, they are now buying young talents who are seen as future if not currently world class players, best in their positions. Why? Because they need a young stable squad if they’re going to be hit with a transfer ban, they also locked haaland into a longer contract and signed Guehi. I think some of their spending has been callous and motivated by the need to spend now because they might not be able to do so soon.

Again no evidence to back this up but I do think that this window has been more expensive and outrageous than any other city window, especially when they bid 85 mil for gallon (which Liverpool stupidly rejected) and went straight in for ndiaye for 65.

Gabriel Jesus is the king of failing upwards, me thinks.

EDIT: removed "garbage". It was a bit rude.
Gabriel Jesus won the EPL at Man City, until they realized he was excess and offloaded him to Arsenal. There, he never really got going either but eventually won a title as part of a historic team. Now he is being 'offloaded' to Barcelona, where he has a very good chance of winning La Liga as well. That is one lucky chap if you ask me.

I don't understand why people are writing city off

0 Upvotes

Not a city fan but noticed a lot of people saying city are not gonna be the same after pep and that they won't be the same dominant team that they were. I would be happy if they weren't but i think people are writing them off too soon. They did win league titles before pep. And while their transfer window looks weird, they never spent this amount of money before they do have a competent leadership team. I don't expect them to win the league this year or the next but I do think if things go right they can challenge soon

Manchester City are the biggest winners of the transfer window.

Crazy when you see clubs like Ipswich and Hull being far more busy and ambitious than the three mentioned clubs

Football moving towards rugby, height and lots of it

0 Upvotes

One thing I don't particularly like is that we seem to have plenty of teams moving more and more along the same trajectory that in my opinion, has ruined rugby union over the last decade, with an all-out focus on height.

I saw that Galatasaray can now effectively put up a team with an average height of 6'2, Arsenal's lineup is usually at an average of 6'0/1. I appreciate that's two teams; however, I just wonder if this could be the way football moves now. Instead of looking for the most technically gifted who can oppress the opposition (Pep-led football), or just relentless mentality and stamina (SAF-led football), we might be moving towards physical dominance.

I hope I'm wrong, but with defensive units now being 4 CBs, occasionally, it does suggest we are going in that direction. But then again as a Villa fan, given Madjo, it might be necessary to combat him.

Fan ownership of PL teams

5 Upvotes

In the Bundesleage 1 and 2 all teams (apart from one or two exceptions) are part owned by the fans, in what’s known as the 50+1 rule. According to the Bundesleage’s website this means high quality football with affordable ticket prices and no FFP issues.

If tomorrow the PL adopted this model, how do you think it would affect the league, and how do you think it would affect your team?
