They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Yes, but we were linked with him all that summer before he went to Roma.
It's a shame Strootman busted his knee just about when we was going to sign him. I think he would have been a really good player for us, he seemed the complete box to box at that time.
So wait, we've got a feck ton of scouts at the club, something like over 20, all watching players based all over the world and domestically, yet we're asking ex-pro's to recommend some signings for us? Or is that Solskjær doing it?
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the likes of Rio's opinion but what's the point in having scouts if they're not identifying these players before Rio has a word?
Would be very surprising move. He's got limitless funds at City, a backroom team installed just for him, the most expensive squad ever assembled while Juve are in need of a rebuild, in a worse league with far lesser funds.
I could imagine he'd be quite pissed off if City are thrown out of the CL though. Nothing more for him to achieve there then..but still, money.
How many times does Pep have to deny these rumors before they stop? The man has told the press he is staying at City just a few days back.
He probably feels like he's achieved all he can at City. The scrutiny will only get worse from here on out if they don't win everything next season. They're going to get pelted for not winning the CL again.
Despite winning the domestic treble this season, there's quite a lot of negativity around the club at the moment from the worlds media. Pep isn't exactly getting the hand jobs he thought he was going to get after that FA cup win.
He also told people he wasn't doping when he was a player, then he got caught, twice...
Until he signs a new contract with City, or the season starts
He was very pissed off with a journo asking him if he was paid by more than one UAE company, maybe he is. And yes, not much more to achieve than the CL, so hopefully they'll get barred from it next season. I just can't see him going to Juve though. He won't win the CL there.
Talking in media means nothing.
He doesn't need to though. Pep's always fancied himself as the first manager to win the big 5 (League titles in the big leagues around Europe) so far he's only got Italy and France left on his checklist. Winning the CL is just a bonus for him. He's already won it twice so it's not like he needs it.
Wasn't it always the plan to stay for three years and then leave? Pep said he couldn't stay at the same place for too long because he needs to experience new restaurants. They should have some decent ones over in Italy.
I remember the many times that Ronaldo said he was going to stay at United during 2009. He said it so therefore it’s true and actually means it. 
Pep tends to move every 3 years and he seemed to have given up on a Champions League at Bayern.
I wouldn't be surprised either way. On one hand he has built a terrific legacy at City and should continue to see if he can lift the CL. On the other hand he can leave on a high having convinced many he built one of the greatest teams in that league, whilst moving to dominate Italy where he can at least compete in the CL straight away for sure.

Thing is with Pep, if he thinks the net is closing on City and their dodgy practices, he jumps ship. There’s no way he’s risking his legacy.
The thing is, Pep won't win the CL at City because he's not pragmatic enough to see a game out where the other team have nothing to lose. City also don't have the right mentality to win it. They wobbled big time every time they conceded this season, only for a couple of minutes but that was enough for Tottenham to put them to the sword.
Exactly. Feels like the lid is about to come off next season.
A one-time event is not a pattern.
True. I don't know why I only remembered him at Barcelona for 3 years in my mind too.
Translation: Pogba rejected them so they won't be trying for him.
I believe he said, that he only should have stayed for 3 years and that the 4th was a mistake.
Nobody really believes we have a 'punt' budget and an actual budget do they?
I'm all for taking the odd chance but surely the massive, costly deficiencies with the first team are the main issue?
No, buy Morata, Moses, Bakayoko and Willian for £200 million.
You are such a nice guy, thanks.
We should get him to sign a new contract now if he is not leaving. We can’t have him have his circus again next season.
More likely: they refuse to pay the absurd amount we probably wanted/he was demanding in wages.
It’d be unreal if Pogba stays and improves alongside one or two top CM signings, though. I think that’s huge for us.
He should be in Liverpool’s squad next season. Don’t see them selling him. He’s better than Sturridge or Origi.
He isn't a striker though is he?
Not seen much of Brandt but Hazard just looks decent to me being generous, would you sign him for us? I am all for these good young English signings myself but interesting you mention AWB.
Funny a lot of people seem to be of the opinion of "worth a punt" on some of these young players not really proven at all but then some good semi-established young English players like AWB and Rice for example lots of people are saying they arent good enough, maybe there is a reason for the price tags on them?
Then I keep reading "only been one season and a bit, not proven anything"....Sancho has been playing for a season and a bit in a foreign league but everyone is forning over him. Dont get me wrong, think he looks like a great young player, but AWB and Rice have done just as well in there respective positions as he has at Dortmund.
Be great if we can turn a bargain priced young player into a star, but just how far behind our side is at the moment, why are so few people seeming to want some of the really really good young players already establishing themselves in this country just because they would cost more money?
i havent seen enough of any of the likes of Longstaff, James or the young Sunderland centre back or Godfrey Norwich one to make a judgement or comparison, but the likes of AWB, Rice, Sancho, DeLigt are very much the right profile of players we should be making big moves for this summer
He's signed til 2022 already
He has young and been inconsistent and sometimes appears to not take instructions well, but surprised they would sell him as he has bags of ability and has been great at times throughout his time in the premiership.
At the same time, almost have to respect the ruthlessness, possibly regarding attitude....something we need to learn from. In retrospect, its possibly the one thing Mourinho did have right with a few of our players, but seemingly seemed blocked from making the decisions he wanted there
He already rejected them once. It is fairly likely he rejected them again as Real could have asked him to refuse to play or the usual shenanigans they have their targets do. Pogba is king here, he won't be as important anywhere else. That is the only reason I think he would want to stay with us as we aren't winning anything anytime soon.
