It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[balotelli's back pocket]

No surprise they rejected that. Why on earth would they want to loan out their best player on deadline day for an "option" to buy? Would be a terrible deal for them.

I would expect it to have been triggered automatically if he played a certain amount of games.

Listening to Why Always Us podcast, Sam Lee gets a text telling him that City made an offer to bring Maddison in today, loan with option to buy which Leicester rejected.

a loan??? i think we are on some FFP thing at the minute we dont know about this season or reporting period.

I've never understood these analogies. There's probably a Maddison in every La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga team. He's a good player, nothing special at all. Suggesting he is anywhere close to KDB or Bernardo is delusional. Getting him in place of Bellingham will make me feel sick. The squad is in transition and needs injections of world class quality; Maddison doesn't fit this bill, he's average.

We can do better for fucks sake. I said the same about Phillips and I'll maintain this view on Maddison.

Totally different players Maddison stats as in goals assists are better than silva but he keeps the ball better runs more km. no one in Europe is as good as Kdb stat why’s!

exactly what I am saying. we can buy fukin madison if we accept our level from now on should be Spurs. that is the only reason we should be looking at the likes of madison. there are players in dutch and portugal league who are levels above maddison we just have lazy sports team. txiki get your shit together fast! for example this guy Otávio from porto who is levels above anything madison can dream of. we can probably get him for similar price. why the fuck should we be satisfied with the likes of chillwel and madison?

We have had scouts at numerous porto games this season, I always imagined because of Octavio.

Phillips, Grealish and now Maddison?

WTF, I hope this is some sort of smokescreen

It’s our 3rd year of ffp monitoring period before the new ffp comes in! Maybe city don’t want to spend anything this January and wait till the summer

Why give them 50m and Maddison turns into Luke Chadwick.

Try get him on loan and if he can make the step up then you activate the buy.

I love that some people on here think they know more about football than Pep

We do when it comes to substitutions ; )

 

[blueparrot]

...but the younger midfielders we bring in will ultimately be the ones to replace KDB and Gundogan etc.

Hence KDB and Gundogan to Maddison and Phillips.

Bellingham ? Foden? Phillips has fuck all to do with it Phillips is Rodri back up.
