That’s not to say Fred - who we appear to have decided is coming - won’t do well obvs City will probably sign both. |

Matic is good at getting the ball back deep but his passing tends to be a bit pedestrian and side to side rather than forward, although it's hard to tell whether that's his personal limitations or just that we're shapeless dog shit going forward as a team.
Hard to imagine a box to box type sorting it out to be honest, Pogba can get box to box, it's getting the ball box to box before the opposing defence has dug in on their 18 yard line that's the issue. If Madrid don't want Kovacic he'd be worth a punt, although given Modric's age it may be that he gets more playing time next season. |

Every transfer season you have some blend of the following misnomer- that somehow if City or Chelsea weren’t in for someone, they simply weren’t worth it and we’ve been had over, fighting for scraps they leave.
Where did this two-bob, self loathing attitude come from? City have bought some good players, but in truth - and until recently- most of their platform of success in squeaking past us was based on 5 purchases made 6-9 years ago: Kompany, Silva, Toure, Tevez and Aguero. More recently De Bruyne and Sane. The Lescott’s, Rodwell’s, Sinclair’s, Jovetic’s, Nolito’s, Navas’, Managla’s, Fernando’s, Bony’s, Stones’, Bravo’s, Negredo’s -and there are loads more- all get conveniently swept under the rug because they don’t serve a stick to beat us with. Should we have been in for that pile of shit too? |

City have been buying better players than United regularly for 9 years while United were out bargain basement shopping for the likes of Owen, Powell, Smalling, Jones, Buttner, Zaha, bebe... etc the list goes on. We got away with it because of a core of very experienced players who hoisted the club to one last hurrah before the greatest manager who ever stepped into a dugout retired. Meanwhile City were buying (along with a fair few duds) players who would go on to be the spine of 3 title winning teams for the best part of 8 years. Everything since for United has been largely badly overseen panic buying under 3 different managers all with wildly different ideas on how football should be played. |

First of all, we can’t possibly know what these teams are or aren’t thinking, we’ve never seen the players themselves and the needs of each will be different. So just saying some version of ‘if they were any good, City, Chelsea, Real etc etc would have snapped them up’ reeks of inferiority complex. |
