City has had some misfires with signings in the past but they needed to completely replace the fullbacks. And since every team knows they are willing to pay, they pay a premium for players. Hopefully the moves work out and there won't be a need to splurge again in the next transfer window.

£250M worth of misfiring

Matic to United for £40M, as I'm sure a lot of you have seen by now.

Matic will more than likely kick Lingard to the bench and allow Pogba to play much higher up the field. I expect United to go with: GK: De Gea, RB: Valencia, CB: Lindelof, CB: Bailly, LB: Blind (for now), CDM: Matic, CM: Pogba, CM: Herrera, LW: Mkhitaryan, RW: Rashford, ST: Lukaku. Furthermore, this United team has more depth than I've seen a United team have in a long time. Man U can literally fill out an entire second team: GK: Romero, RB: Fosu-Mensah, CB: Smalling, CB: Jones, LB: Darmian, CDM: Carrick, CM: Fellaini, CM: Mata, LW: Martial, RW: Lingard, ST: Rashford/Wilson

I'm also leaving out Andreas Pereira, Scott McTominay, Angel Gomes, Ashley Young, Marcos Rojo (injured), Luke Shaw (injured), Axel Tuanzebe, and Joel Pereira

United's last piece to the puzzle is Perisic, we'll see if it gets done. 

United are also said to be extending Herrera and Mata

We're easily right behind Chelsea last year if we could have turned half of our league leading 15 draws (a lot of which were 0-0 / 1-1) into wins. Not to mention we fielded a defense that allowed the second least amount of goals in the EPL last year. If United can score this year they will be dangerous.

I'm also aware that only 11 play but when you are playing in four competitions in the year, it's nice to have depth.

United plays boring soccer.  Mourinho is a master of parking the bus.  United will be shredded by good passing teams.

Arsenal preparing to bid for Jean Seri.  He's a carbon copy of Kante.  Would be a perfect fit in Arsenal midfield. Barcelona tried to buy him a year ago.

Arsenal also hoping Monaco will drop £80M asking price for Lemar who they purchased a year ago for 500k...  talking about return on investment.

You do realize that those two only had a 1% higher difference in successful passes than Man City, right?

https://www.whoscored.com/Statistics

 

Same site shows an overall statistical rating of 0.1 better than my guys, and we weren't even the champs.

 

 

That stat doesn't hold much wait in my opinion. Successful passes don't record where the passes are occurring. The Vancouver Whitecaps can pass the ball around the back four, but not many teams have the ability to play the tiki-taka style to breakdown Man Utd's defense. It didn't happen last year and it won't this year either.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
