Carsley wasn’t Southgate’s assistant.

I think the De Ligt signing is a good calculated risk. Plenty of big game experience, played at the top level for a sustained period of time and is still relatively young for a centre back. I think he could end up being a good signing. Also, if for some reason it doesn;t quite work out, they should still be able to sell him for a similar amount they have bought him for. Yoro is only 18 and even if he was fit, he isn’t going to play every game at that age in the centre of defence. The lad needs to learn the game still.

Well only 10 players have done that in the history of the Premier League so the odds are against him…

Solenko (his name is Solanke) (19 at Bournemouth who created nothing, reckon he’ll get 30 plus at Spuds)
This isn’t entirely true. Bournemouth were 12th in big chances created last season, level with Man United with 60.
9th for most shots with 542 shots, more than Villa. Bournemouth were good last season.

I think KDB will stay but I think this will be his last season in the Premier League. I think he will take the Saudi money next season for a couple of years which will put him at 36 years old.
I also think KDB has been the best Midfielder that the Premier League has ever seen. Everyone always asks the question Lampard, Gerrard or Scholes as to who was the best. To me the answer is KDB. Never seen a midfielder with his passing ability and who nearly always picks the right pass or makes the right decision. Will be a big miss for City when he goes as I don’t think he is easily replaceable.

I think next game, give Foden a rest and play Gordon on the left. The lad has pace to burn and works his bollocks off going in the other direction as well. We need quick players on either wing to run past Kane if he is going to keep coming deep. I love Foden as a player, but it doesn’t work with him out on the left. Can always bring him on and play him central if we need.
Also, drop Trent (feel a bit sorry for him as he is not a midfielder) and play Adam Wharton there. We lack control of games and Wharton alongside Rice will give you this. His range of passing is very good, his ability to get the ball back from the opposition is one of his biggest strengths too. Let’s start playing players in the positions they play for their clubs.

“One to watch at Palace is Adam Wharton. Future England international for sure. Can’t see him being at Palace for too long as he is destined for a top 6 club in the coming years. He really is special”
I Got the future England international bit correct…

That doesn’t surprise me, they been a shambles since then at boardroom level and on the pitch. Did he say how much City had spent in the same period for comparison? City are much better at selling players for a decent price though, United seem to get rock bottom whenever they try and sell anyone!

Last thing on this (promise) looking through your site at the Blackburn page, I notice it says we sold Bentley for £7.5m in 08/09. We sold him for more than double that! That’s a big difference!

I think the main difference is that my site has Stam coming technically in the 1997/98 season and signing for £10.75m but the other has him coming in the 98/99 season. I think its a technicality as Stam was signed in 1998 on July 1st haha.

One example that is completely wrong on the website that you are looking at is that is says Jon Macken sighed for Preston for £1.75 Million. That is complete rubbish and a made up figure.

I used Soccer base and added them up season by season. I’m pretty confident this is more accurate.
https://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=1724&teamTabs=transfers
You can also look up every team and every season going back as far as you like.
Anyway, I apologise for being a boring bastard haha.

The Newcastle one is £7m out and is £34.5m
The Arsenal one is £7m out and is £24m
The Liverpool one is £4m out and is £25.7m
The Chelsea one is bang on at £27.7
The Spurs one is £11m out and is £29.8m
The City one is £1m out at £13m
Aston Villa were £22m
Everton were £18.3
West Ham were £3.5m
Leeds were £22.7Just to add another one in there, Blackburn who were seen as big spenders actually were in profit by £100,000!
In conclusion, Man United didn’t spend as much as other clubs in those years. They then went on to spend a lot more.
Very quiet at work today so spent an hour looking this up haha.

Ok, even using those transfers it is still £10.2m so it is still wrong.
