The lack of defencive transfer target news would have worried me over the last few years but, today it represents a move forward for Manchester City FC. It shows we're not rushing in and making rash signings anymore, it means we're not going to necessarily sign a player early only for them to come back from a tournament with an injury. It means our club are forward thinking and are willing to take our time, not be pulled into a transfer bidding war or panic buy.
I'd have to say that's down to Guardiola's influence without any doubt, from what we understand of him now, he's not the type to tolerate someone like Chelsea's Russian owner Roman Abramovich dictating who a club buys and sells. I'm not convinced that Pellegrini had much influence in transfer targets himself, I think he relied on scouts and other club employee's to get him what he needed.
I'm not convinced either that Mangala or Otamendi were of Manuel Pellegrini's choosing, my belief is that he sanctioned their signings but had little in scouting them. As much as it pains me to say, the likes of Alex Ferguson and great coaches before him actually knew how to spot real talent. This is one reason why I think Pep Guardiola is currently the best Coach in Europe if not the world, he has the experience of working at all levels from youth to senior professional Football. Something the likes of Jose Mourinho lacks, there's only one Coach with European pedigree who could take us to another level and that was, is Josep Guardiola Sala.
England's boo brigade are an utter disgrace to English football, those minority who have attacked Joe Hart and Raheem Sterling are more than likely a majority of Liverpool and Man United fans, with the odd fan or two from the ranks Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Southampton's fan bases. All have the agenda of wanting their players picked for England's first eleven over Hart and Sterling.
Too stupid to realise their bias idiocy is causing England more harm than good, along with the British Media they have destroyed Raheem Sterling's confidence. It's rather pathetic that Pundits like Thierry Henry and Steve McManaman have taken this long to come out in defence of Sterling, an almost empty gesture on the Media's part. It's like shouting at an empty stadium after the act has been committed and the culprits are gone, even Jamie Carragher tried to act unbiased by talking about how Sterling needs to get his confidence back after he unjustly judged the lad.
Even some Manchester City fans are claiming that Sterling has had a bad season? FOR REAL? are you freaking serious?
In his last season for Liverpool he scored 11 goals and created 10 assists, in his FIRST season for Manchester City he scored 11 goals and created 10 assists. He did that in 5 less games while moving to an entire new alien City, while being hounded by the British Media and lynch mobbed by Liverpool fans. Experiencing his Girlfriend and Daughter being threatened and abused by Liverpool fans on Social Media, all at a young age. And now he's got England fans making him a scapegoat out of bitterness and jealousy.
Raheem Sterling is a success, maybe not a spectacular season, maybe not world class but, he's far from a waste of money or a failure.
English Football may have stamped out Racism but it still has it's fair share of problems.
