Have City spent anything this transfer window?

At this rate it looks like it could be difficult for City to finish top 4. Other than the start of this season things have not gone well for city from about this time last year. When they announced Pep as their new manager and pretty much undermined Pellegrini. In that regard i have no sympathy for City who were not traveling to badly when they released that news.

Depends on whether you count Gabriel Jesus. The spent £27m in the summer to sign him, but his contract with them didn't start until this month. Still got half of this transfer window to go yet though.

When you include that £27m with their other summer signings - Bravo for £17m, Stones for £42m, Gundogan for £21m, Nolito for £14m, Sane for £37m - that's over £150m spent in transfer fees. And the result so far is that they are in the lowest position after 21 games for SEVEN years - one month after they sacked Mark Hughes. And could go down another place in a couple of hours.

The money that has been spent in Manchester this season has been crazy.

I guess the question is, is Pep safe?

Im sure the City owners did not envisage this when they signed him and spent all that money.

Got to stick with him, as he was the manager everyone wanted this time last year......

Indeed, which is why I think they'll spend more money - whether this month, or in the summer, or both - rather than get rid. They're not going to get rid of a guy who they've so desperately wanted, so soon. It's not like when Utd conceded after about 8 months that they'd got it wrong with Moyes. City, I imagine, will just power through, and spend millions in doing so.

Pogba didn't have a good first half.

Seems great against the lesser teams, still seems to go missing in some big games.

Milner is much maligned on here, but he does take a good penalty.

Absolute shocker. I wonder if JM will sub him at half timr.

Hand of Pog.

Not sure he can, today Pogba released his own emoji.

I guess he has to be good at something, mind you it isn't the trickiest of arts!

Carrick as much as anyone has probably been the reason for Uniteds recent run.

Seems strange that Jose took him off. Injured maybe?

Yet so many people can not do it as well.

Also, hes not a bad left back at present, cue a red card.

Ibrahimovic with a late equaliser!

Ironic that just an hour or so after I write about all millions spent by City, it is a free transfer who yet again scores Utd (yes I know his wages are ridiculous). And not just any old free transfer, but one who Pep never found a way of being able to work with. You know, the greatest ever manager and all that...

What was all the Pogba marketing going around the stadium today.

Tacky United, very tacky.
