I generally agree with this article, I have a feeling City will have a bit of an off season whiles't Pep figures out how best to use Haaland, City will probably still win the thing but not be as fantastic as they've been for the past 5 years or so. Think United will be a bit of a surprise package and do a bit better than many are predicting, but that's just me
No hope utd get 4th with that midfield and defence.

Our attack ain’t much better
Find it amazing that 14 years after the City group takeover a player clearly prefers to join us over a club like Chelsea and to add to that, Chelsea have to come for our squad players to improve their first team
Might also be our CL pedigree and that you habitually haven’t quite had what it takes to win the ultimate

As it is now you are right.
Chelsea think Cucurella is worth twice the amount we were prepared to offer.
Be interesting to see who was right.
Its hard to dismiss the amount, putting that aside he's a top player who would have been great for us. Well played Brighton.

It’s a truly staggering sum. I can’t get my head round it.

Yes. But it’s just grass midfield but very nice grass and some teams play very good football in our midfield as the grass is so nice

It's great to see the groundskeepers get recognition for once!
City are generally very sharp in the market.
Chelsea have binned their entire transfer team and seem to have a mouthy, green Yank leading their transfer business (which also seems to be based on a “what is everyone else talking about” strategy).
I think the bookies have it right: City will win the league. Chelsea will bomb.

With the money Chelsea are spending the pressure is on, they have to be splitting or jumping above the top two to justify the cost.
The impact of buying the wrong players can be huge. Just look at United. City have been very reluctant to compromise in recent years and it has paid off. I remember the ‘experts’ saying we were doomed if we didn’t sign Pogba, and then McGuire. We weren’t.
City showed in interest in Pogba, Fred, Sanchez then Maguire with United barging in with unrealistic offers to buy the player.
Are Chelsea going down the same road?
United bought overpaid dross, time will tell with Chelsea but think they will settle down once they have what they need. Quality of players is better so think they will be in the mix.

Looks like it, doesn’t it.
first game...Koulibally showed his class but ultimately got cramp-hell just get better with fitness.
Sterling was superb got a goal albeit offside by a fraction hell get us goals. Cucurella played a cameo but he looked like hes been playing for Chelsea for years, Chillwell has a right to be concerned.
As for the owner well he bought a champions league winning Club and needs time to implement change but as we are still suffering from the british govt BS over Roman i think 2 months after the takeover hes doing pretty good and when we get our new negotiators in place then itll settle down. But theyve been vetted and scrutinised so at least half the comments on the shady dealings at Chelsea are now not possible.

City just think they are Barcalona aand can just turn players heads not needing to bid to bid excessively but as you found with Cucurella you cant always get what you want.

We could if we'd been willing to spunk £67m on a player that's worth £40m tops.
