It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I can remember reading the back page of the MEN back in the day announcing we were close to buying Robert Hopkins anyone remember him mid to late 80's I think.....:-)

Utter crap and by all accounts a miserable fucker

What happens when one or two get injured?

Maybe the don't get injured. And if they do perhaps we could play Foden, De Bruyne and Mahrez. You know, the guys that played when we beat PSG home and away in the CL semi finals.

Maybe Sterling could play. Or Bernardo could play a wide role.

Regarding your more recent post. Rodri has another season under his belt, he wont be quicker but he more than likely will be better and more energy in forward areas will leave him less exposed anyway. Laporte, Cancelo, Zinchenko and Ake could all play LB.

You're asking us to fill a space in the squad that doesn't exist. You'd think the logical thing to do would be to not register Mendy because he's in jail, but all signs suggest that we fully intend to keep registering Mendy, so there's no room in the squad to go out and buy someone regardless.

What do you mean? Mendy has been suspended indefinitely.

 

[blueparrot]

Again that your opinion. I think we are a weaker side this season then last. While everyone around us have improved.

In what way are we weaker than last season ?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Never said he didn’t improve us. But considering we lost Mendy even if he is horrible it still give zinch break on cup matches. Aguero left and we didn’t replace him. We are still lacking imo a good replacement for dinho. So to me we are definitely weaker then we were last year. But it’s all a matter of opinion so take it how you wil.

Let me get this right......Grealish improves us yet we are weaker??

Mendy hardly played and was shite,Dinho is still the same player that helped us to an almost unprecedentedly successful season and Aguero was missing all season.

Your comment is genuinely needy bollocks.

That’s all fine if other teams have not strengthened. You can’t tell me you feel as confident we will beat psg with there team today vs their team last season? We missed so many chances last season bc we did not have a clinical striker.

Wasting £52 million on Mendy has severely hamstrung us in the LB position. You can't invest that much in one player and then go out and buy another similarly priced replacement just because the Mendy signing has proved a disaster for reasons we all know about. Giving Fernandinho an extension signalled no new incoming DM this summer. That left Kane as the striker we wanted but Levy wasn't interested in negotiating.
We have to go with what we have. There is no unlimited pot of money unfortunately.

We bought Walker for 50m and we bought two right backs since

We have less depth especially in lb. the fact that other teams have strengthened while we have not makes us weaker. They are catching/caught up to us.

But we're still insisting on "no incomings unless we can move someone on" which means we still see Mendy as part of the squad.
