Anyone know what he’s smoking bcuz I want some of it
Bald cnut faced prick.
A genuinely disturbing lack of self awareness or blatant denial? Next he'll be saying he didn't have messi win him everything in Spain. Should be crucified for remarks like that, not the first time he's shown how out of touch he is with the managers he's competing against.
Call me mental but I count their squad as being 20+Laporte.........so essentially he's bitching about the fact they didn't want to cough up for Sanchez(the 22nd!).
I mean I realize this considers Mangala, Yaya and/or Delph "top" - but yeah I'm not sure he's talking about having 22 De Bruyne's right?
Either way....get a grip.

The unfortunate thing is how the media has no objectivity. Come on, just look at the numbers. It is absolutely insane levels of spend.
Then again, if the media were objective, Brexit and Trump probably would not have happened.
Whatever sells more rags.

Lol! So if City can't afford it then who can?
United?
Barca?
PSG?
They're the only other teams I can think of who are capable of paying for the most expensive players. For the record I like Guardiola, I admire his outlook on the game but he is in complete denial here or has an awful relationship with the board at City.

Bizarre narrative being played out this season
According to Pep, no team ever has been able to compete in 4 competitions since they’ve obviously never had the spend of City as City’s supposedly isn’t good enough.
They “just don’t have the money” nor does any club in the world. Look around there’s just no top clubs anymore since it’s “impossible to survive” on these minuscule spending budgets...
Our treble team was bolstered by excellent academy graduates.
Oops! The means building a team, not buying one.
He reminds me of the spoilt kid with a hundred Christmas presents, but still complains.

Incredible what he’s doing on such a tight budget.
Read a stat that their academy graduates have only 7 epl minutes.
Is this true?
Is this true?
Given these are basically only Foden's and Brahim's short cameos it makes sense I suppose.
Yep, and they claim they're good with youth.
I never thought I'd see the day that Pep and Man City are complaining about a lack of funds. What kind of world is this?
We are living in some sort of Twilight-zone episode where City are the ones with the moral high ground, and United are the evil Money FC team.
400 million was on top of having players like Aguero, de Bruyne, Sterling & Silva already as well
He really ist completely deluded.
I'm pissed off with the coverage that they're getting this season, I'm pissed off that the press and media have their heads up their arse.
Pep has shown himself to be nothing but a cheque-book manager who can only win in the best teams and with players of a certain skillset. City had a good enough squad to win the PL last season or to be at least closer to Chelsea. They ended the season trophyless. Their star performers this season were all there last season too. KDB, Silva, Fernandinho, Sterling, Aguero. They also couldn't beat Monaco in the last 16 when Pellegrini got them to the semis the year before. Peps solution was to throw money at the situation though and only after spending 400 million does he have a team who can win things. For me he will never be a better manager than Mourinho until he can win with teams who aren't the best. Would Pep win the CL for Porto? Clearly not based on his trophyless season last year with a much better City team. Let's see how many people he can fool with these comments about a limited budget.
I see nobody's willing to entertain the possibility that, in what might be his third or fourth language, Pep's clumsily explained that the City board won't sanction £70m+/£500k-a-week for a player in the way United's board do.
Wish whoever interviewed him said that spending 150m on 3 defenders (stones, mendy and walker) is far from limited. And there's oetontially 60m on laporte now too.
Why don't the press ever pick up on this as write a damning article about the drab that comes out of his mouth

He says some crap, nothing new, yet he'll stay a media darling.
We have a £70m player on 500k\week? That is news to me.
We do have a £89m player on 275k\week and a free transfer on 300k+\week wages though.
Making things up?
Also if he tried to explain that in his 5th or 6th language that was a terrible way of explaining it.
£70m+ (plus).
Also widely reported that Sanchez is on something much steeper than £300k+. Besides, £300k is still a good £50k more than anything our highest paid player is on.
His words were ‘to compete in 4 competitions you need to be lucky with injuries, or have 22 top players’ and then went on to state city can’t afford 22 top players.
That’s quite well spoken. But if City can’t afford to buy their ‘22 top players’ which with that 400 million they’ve spent in the last 18 months, who can? Surely you can manage that transfer budget and put a team of 22 top players together. To use money as a excuse after that spend is ridiculous.
"widely reported", you mean the press briefings from City?
As you should know by now United is the only club which get's the total wages, signing on fee and agent fee's added on in the transfer sum, and then in addition added to the wages.
Take your head out of your arse and you'll quickly realise that Sanchez isn't on nearly double of Pogba's wages.
Do you write a lot of Manchester City fiction? Because those figures don’t make sense.
Fullbacks cost us, should of been addressed last season tbh.
And they say FFP doesn't work.
City fans need to smarten up. Pep complaining about any kind of lack of financial support from the club is pathetic, just like it was for Jose to do so a month back (and many United fans here said as much).
