I think we have a chance for a better future possibly but for next season I think we are screwed.
Lol, finally some pessimism from our resident Optimist
Unless Berlu and Uncle Fester plan to lose their jobs, and their lives, I would expect that we will probably make at least two purchases, if not more. Whether these players are "Good" though, remains to be seen. The fans will protest, call for Berlu's head, and then Berlu will probably be forced to spend (like most years). I've come to the idea whereby if our Ultras had made harder protests (like throwing Molotov cocktails at Berlu's home "harder") then perhaps we might have pressured them into not selling.
As things are, buying 2 players will not be enough to replace Ibra and Silva, but what about the real possibility of needing to buy players to replace Cassano, Robinho AND Boateng?
Our moves in the market have raised even more problems than solutions and the fallout from the sales may be long and hard. We might need 5 players minimum, not to replace the quality of what we have, but to replace the physical positions of players. Who are people who can replace the following:
Ibra ------->
T.Silva----->
Boateng------>
Cassano------>
Robinho------>
Suggestions guys?
seeing the "official" next to the deal really made me be pretty pessimistic, I guess it's because it never really hit me that thiago's actually gone until today, made me get into deeper thought and my thoughts are all in that post^ , to be brief; we wont go anywhere next season, and even with the proper investments the next season would be a good chance at schudetto and a possibility of champions league by a stroke of chelsea (in other words luck)
I came to this conclusion because really look. Say we do sign dzeko, other then a league title i'll give city that they played like shit in european competition and thats pretty much due part to being a relatively new team (i mean all new players new philosophy etc).
But now look, dzeko didn't do crap at man city, if i must voice my honest opinion on WHY he did poorly is simply because of what i mentioned above^ a new team, no real leadership no chemistry, this upcoming season even if we sign dzeko hamsik and garay which are all solid additions, we still have no leadership and we are just as new as man city as a team, so the fact that some people say "psg won't win because they still have a lot of work to do" well, other then buying players I beg to differ that we're any different, we lost all our old players, our two superstar players who really were leaders even if they can be replaced (mainly ibra) oh well, let's just see how everything goes imo we're doomed for next year, a schudetto is in our reach but if i had to honestly predict our position in the table at the end of next season i'd say top 3.
