And I would be happy with that. We want to be an attractive club to play for, I think we are already. It is the most natural way for us as a club to progress. We're not going to pluck the most promising players in the world up, because we won't be able to compete with the biggest clubs for them. Deals like this will benefit us in the short to medium term, if they are successful. Anyway, he's got to get into the Villa team first. It looks like we're developing some healthy competition for places, so if he does get into the Villa team, we're already doing well and have some nice options off the bench. It's actually a good post you've written. However, we are already one of the biggest clubs in world football and always have been. WTF you on about lol?? Your right about the feeder club shit but we've been operating with our pants down for years tbh. I don't think we are anyone's feeder club anymore under this stewardship. Luiz is here because we wanted him, not to do city a favour. City are on borrowed time at the premiership summIt. There are only 3 clubs in the UK that have claim to being the big boys and 2 of those are slumping. Liverpool, utd and arsenal. The rest are renting their positions. We stay up this season and within 2 years we will be fighting for European football again imo. Please though let's stop with this chelski and city being bigger than us. Imo as a well run premiership we are top 6-7. Anything else is underachieving. Yes we had a tough few years but don't forget who we are!! Peace out!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won F all for years and then won a league and European cup back to back. After that we have won nothing but 2 league cups. Fans were probably saying the exact same thing about us after we won the European cup and in term of us winning things they were right. I agree we are should be within the top 10 clubs in the country. But to say City and Chelsea are renting their position is hypocritical IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slightly jest however when people want to talk about big club you can't just define that by trophies at this moment in time or recently! How many trophies Spurs or Everton won in recent years or west ham or any of the club's outside those mentioned. I was harsh regarding City and Chelsea however I don't buy that shit that we treat them like they are bigger and better. There are a lot of big clubs out there not winning trophies. Due to the geographical location, fan base, size, history, the club being well run and invested in correctly, we are as big as anyone outside of 3 clubs imo. I put us in the next tier. With Chelsea, City, Spurs etc. See, I grew up during a period when Chelsea and Man City were close to wank. For far longer than the period of absence we went trophiless. It's hard for me personally to see them as bigger than us when they never had been consistently during my life time. I just see it as theyve been doing better in recent years. We could go on with this all night with pluses and minuses for both sides of the discussion but it's a never ending argument and off topic. And I didn't mean to go off on one. Like I said it's my opinion, not hypocrisy. People don't have to get it. I'm sure people question your logic at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard for me personally to see them as bigger than us when they never had been consistently during my life time. I just see it as theyve been doing better in recent years. I think you broadly have a point. Clubs have a natural, sustainable level, based on history and fanbase, and then they have higher or lower levels they can achieve through a foreign cash injection or, at the lower end, through disastrous mismanagement. However, it's possible for over- or under-achievement to last generations, and over time for it to bed in and become self-sustaining. To me it seems like a joke that so many Man City fans have crawled out of the woodwork in the last 5 years, how you can have a club which unironically celebrates both Shaun Goater and Sergio Aguero as club legends. But they now have a 55,000 seater stadium, a superb youth system, one of the greatest managers of all time, and 4 Premier League trophies. Take the Emirati cash out, and it will still be an attractive prospect for another investor capable of delivering Champions League qualification. If in the short term, we have to play second fiddle to them to climb up the levels, then so be it. Pride comes before a fall. There's an extraordinary amount of hubris creeping out since we beat a pretty average Derby County team 2-1 in a Championship play-off final. Nobody complained that we relied on a Chelsea loan player last season. It got us where we needed to be, and now we've moved on. If Douglas has a good season for us this year, and City use their re-buy next summer, then fine. At least we've made a profit out of it, and our Premier League stability should allow us to aim higher in next summer's transfer market. All that matters is the direction of travel. If we keep climbing steadily up the table, we will get up there eventually, but now is not the time to wave our willies around triumphantly like we've arrived on the big stage. Let's do that when we qualify for the Champions League, or better still, win the Premier League. Edited July 26, 2019 by KentVillan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
