    Think it was even more extreme than that. He said that Levy saw nothing except Tottenham and Ferguson gave him credit for taking that approach IIRC.

    Aguero left that summer. Jesus scored 8 goals in 28 league games that year, Sterling scored 13 in 30. Neither got anywhere near the numbers Kane or Ronaldo would have gotten. They did have good options at CB in fairness but Mangala and Otamendi weren’t great. And VVD would have been a massive...

    Levy knocked City back for Kane in 2021. City didn't sign a striker in that window and signed Alvarez in January 2022, an unproven player from River Plate who they immediately loaned back, for ~20m. The Ronaldo interest was in the same window. In 17/18, they expressed interest in VVD but he...

    I think that's fair comment. It's what we do now that counts. I still maintain that you can't go and spend 60 or 70 million to replace an injury like Maddison that quickly (it's been about 2 weeks I think?). I'm willing to wait for the window to close before judging it. I'm delighted with Kudos...

    This is the most sensible advice I’ve seen for the transfer window.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Lloris was one of the best keepers in Europe when we signed him. Soldado came in with a huge reputation as did Lamela. Ndombele was the same and cost huge money. Bentancur and Kulu came from Juve. Romero was highly rated when he came. Porro the same. Maddison and Solanke were both proven in the...

    City didn't get Kane, Van Dijk or Ronaldo. Liverpool didn't get Caicedo, Bellingham or Zubimendi. That's how football transfers go. The hysteria over transfers in this day and age is nuts. It seems to take precedence over actual results at times.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    It’s fudging mental stuff. Protesting because we didn’t sign Eze? fudge me. Are football fans that sensitive now? I wonder how many players we missed out on in the 70s, 80s and 90s that we didn’t know about because the media didn’t make an industry of the transfer market. Heard one of their...

    Or perhaps there is a strategy in place where we have a number of targets and we move on to the next one where we may have already done some of the groundwork.

    Don’t get me wrong. I wanted Eze. It’s hardly the end of the world though is it?

    Because football transfers are complicated and you don’t just spunk 60 or 70 million pounds in reaction to something. This is frustrating but we’ve missed out on a player who wants to play for Arsenal. Not the end of the world. I’ve seen people say “this has to be the end for Levy”. I mean...

    Paddy Power, while humorous, are also poisonous. All of their social media is just aimed at being negative about someone and providing the other 19 clubs a laugh at the other club’s expense. It’s lowest common denominator stuff but gets the clicks which is fairly depressing. Our turn this week...

    Christ Almighty. The amount of bed wetting is embarrassing. He’s a Woolwich fan, he went through their academy, he wants to join them. That’s life. If it’s true he’s going there, move on to the next one. Let’s not judge the window until it’s done.

    Simon Jordan got Eddie Murphy to screen his calls while chairman of Palace. “No Mr Levy, Simon is not here and he won’t accept 20k and a set of tracksuits for Routledge. Especially not in installments.”

    It’ll happen. Whenever I get this confident of a deal being reached, I make some outlandish statement. Last time was when we were in for Grealish from Villa. Never did get the Arsenal crest tattooed on my arse…

    Salah doesn’t just score and assist, he gets the assist to the assist. Did brilliantly to set Bournemouth on their way there. Come on Bournemouth.

    “You’ll never walk alone” belting out. What a way to start the new season by reminding me how much I despise Liverpool FC with every fibre of my being.

    I can’t agree that the abuse of Ronaldo and Maguire was based on ability. Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers in the history of the game. If he’s getting abuse because of his ability, every other player is fudged. Maguire is a very good centre back and an international footballer. He...

    The abuse Harry Maguire got for about 12-18 months was some of the worst I'd ever seen. It was bullying in my view and I don't use that word lightly. He became the punchline to everyone's jokes - his fans, opposition fans, England fans, pundits. I'm not a massive fan of him as a player but I...

    Savinho

    Out of curiosity, is he any good? Can't ever recall seeing him play? Like, obviously he has to have talent to have made it at City but would he likely improve us?
