Fuckin hate these low hanging fruit signings from City thanks to Laporta bromance with his old board bros.
Aguero
Eric
FERRAN
Gundy???
Cancelo???
And you just know City would gladly fuck us with the Cancelo fee.
We're broke I get it, but get creative. Find some undervalued assets in the free agents pool like Christensen last year and the Kolo Muani's and Daichi's.
Signing the discards of other top clubs is rarely a good move. If another top club with high level analytics, coaching staff, managers etc have looked at Ferran, for example, and decided they want to move him on after 18 months, being a young player, it should never be a good sign.
There are exceptions to the rule but usually not and City wouldn't move on a young player like that so quickly if they thought he could be essential to their team. Ones to avoid.
We have to start going from the source and catch these guys before they move to top clubs. Ok, punts have a tendency to miss, but spend 65m on 5 less known players instead and one probably lands for you. Exactly what Bayern have done as well and they have never spent big on players pretty much.
