It's Quiet - a new dawn

[ADegenerate]

I understand your points and agree to a large extent but you can't say with certainty in this game that someone will be at the club for such a period of time when results and media pressure are so intense.
I believe, or at least blindly hope, that things will improve next year; but say they dont?
Say the style of play does not catch on, and say we continue to be ripped apart by counter attacks and concede with every single half chance we allow the opposition to get
I am 100% behind the idea of Pep, and I know the club put so much effort into getting him and building something for him to succeed with, but this is a savage game where it may get to a point where he even questions himself.
It is a well known fact he is hugely paranoid with himself and his standards, and often is worried due to his demands on his players and football OCD.

You make really good points here. I like the savage game comment particularly but this is a special arrangement we have with Pep. We gave him the keys to the kingdom and said have fun. Khaldoon has said all along that they run the club as a business and that means the vision for the long term is where the main focus is at.

If we spend 200m and have a repeat of this year then he needs to go. I don't see how that's possible though. It is. But it's so low. Good post. Cheers.

Does TH get a bonus from Ric for the length of the threads he starts?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Or we are signing Gerard Butler. :)

We wouldn't look at him if he wasn't British. Much better going for that Leonidas chap.

Kyle Walker to City on Skybet is 4/6 wtf, there's more RB options that LB so I'd rather Rose If I had to

If we sign him we are really clueless you think clichy cant defend this guy walker is just as bad pace and nowt else

 

[Jazzman]

Well we certainly need to replace Clichy with the highest possible priority.

Thats probably what Levy is thinking as well.

Typical anti British bias. You'd all be salivating at the prospect if he was called Gerd Bütler.

Walker is miles better than the options we currently have. He's also been an important part of a defence which has conceded just 22 league goals all season.

You don't have a defensive record like that if you have players that can't defend.

As an added bonus, he's familiar with the Premier League and he's English/homegrown as well.

Didn't we have Kolarov in 2011/12 when we conceded 29?

Walker would be a good addition, 26 so young ish, English, knows the prem and what's required....what price tho as shouldnt be breaking the bank but reckon they will want 20/25m?

@tolmie's hairdo has been hacked...pesky Russians

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Am I the only one who finds it amazing that despite being knocked out by both Arsenal and Monaco, their top players would still prefer to join us?

Arsenal will be playing Europa League next season

They'd want double that

 

[decmancity]

Levy will not sell Walker to us for 20/25m. Spuds are a genuine title challenger now, we won't be able to pick apart their team unless it is for huge sums of money.

I will be very very surprised if we make any signings from within the Prem.

In which case no thanks!

Gerd Butler ist er erstaunlich

 

[doobyedoobye]

Walker would cost north of 35 million...
