Dunno about that tbh. Not much out there to spend it on. Not enough quality to go around for all the big clubs..

There is if you're smart about it. Hopefully Mourinho knows something because Woodward is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Hope he turns up for city training looking like this again tbh:

How many they gonna lose this summer?

Hummels, Gundogan, Aubergine (whatever the £#%&! his name is)

Huge risk. But he's clearly most concerned with getting players he thinks are dead certs stylistically.

For me they need five or six good signings.

Was shite for us when we signed him tbh

Yep, pretty anonymous it has to be said.

Remember everyone raving about him when the deal was confirmed but did about as much as Mikel for us tbf

Indeed. Also clearly had no confidence in his teammates. Tried to do everything himself as a result

I imagine he's given up hope by now. He's not bowled since 1993

Was wondering if someone would knock that in

Would prefer they didn't get Laporte, broken leg or not.

Remember that

I think he actually got to play a few more games for Gloucs, which was pretty amazing tbh.

Was a top player but spends half a season watching apparently 5 months before he can play again ... And he's prone to putting on timber so be Xmas id imagine before he does out. By that time we will be a dozen clear

According to SSN Gundogan is still 5 months from fitness. Crazy signing based that alone plus a huge risk based on his injury record over the last 2-3 seasons. Wasn't he out for 18 months before with a £#%&!ed back?

Jose's got this, he knows who he wants and Ed will have no choice but to deliver. Jose will have Ed's balls on a plate otherwise. The days of £#%&!wits such as Moyes and LvG kissing Ed's hairy ass are gone. Jose won't stand for any bullshit from Ed.

He ended up having a meat cleaver embedded in his mouth.

Hope this #@&%! ends up the same way in a cooking mishap, the fat tache bastard.

Sky sports sources have forgotten about peps super cabinet of miracle medicines

I thought that it was serious injury. Madness signing a player out for that long, £#%&! knows what he'll be like on his return.

We didn't even sign RvN until we were certain he was fit.

It's a gamble but when you've got a bottomless pit of cash you can afford to take £30m gambles.

See Wilfried Bony.
