Guardiola is disgusting. Not because the player was linked with Inter. That's not important. He has gone and signed 3 CBs in the same transfer window.

It's hilarious he has only one UCL title with City to show for all this lavish spending. Ancelotti would never lose another match with this budget.

And as he loves reminding everyone he has that one thanks to Lukaku choking disasterclass.

Wálter Samuel

The 17-year-old has become a standout figure in the footballing world thanks to his exceptional speed and agility, qualities that have set him apart from his peers. His performances have particularly drawn the attention of Italian clubs, with AC Milan, Inter Milan, and AS Roma reportedly among those interested in bringing him to Serie A.

An article of over 2k words and there isn't a single mention about his position. Unbelievable.

If we signed him people would say why the fuck we are signing this no names that will not be ready for another 5 years.

Winger.

Of course not, they have refs on their budget.

Zalewski had a quite promising start under Mourinho if I’m not mistaken? But apperantly he wasn’t good at all for the last 1,5 season.

A complete nothing transfer. One bench warming nobody for another.

Cedric Soares vol. 2.

If they believed in him they would simply sign him on a free next summer. They just want someone to fill Buchanan gap for the next 6 months.
What gap? He hardly ever plays. We should fill that gap with a new CB.

There is an article in The Times about Man City signing Bah, with Valladolid complaining they suggested to his agent that he break his contract with Valladolid to drive down the compensation. They are going to complain to FIFA. I'm sure whatever City did will be legal, if likely somewhat unethical which is hardly anything to moan about in football these days.

Juventus, P$G, City... That's just how they have been operating throughout the years with City getting away with it. Just look at the obscene amount of spending this winter...

Sky: Atalanta to ask for minimum €60M for Scalvini in summer

Which is why Di Marzio writes Inter have added Bologna defenders Sam Beukema and Jhon Lucumi to their shortlist of targets for a summer defensive.

He also adds that the Nerazzurri have no intention of signing a defender in the last few days of the January transfer window.

Don't have one.
Yeah, lucumi is shit. A few weeks back, I was reading some of the bologna fans comments on social media, and they weren't happy with him.

Says a lot when bologna fans think you are shit.

I like Beukema, but I am not sure if he is the right pick for our mid CB. Speaking of Bologna, I like Holm too, like a super good utility player.
