It's Quiet - a new dawn

Juventus officially signed Benatia until 2020. He's the centreback they had loaned from Bayern.

Based on absolutely nothing at all, I believe we are going to try and sign Fabinho, Mendy and Mbappe from Monaco. However, I think we will only manage to sign one out of the three, and it won't be Mbappe.

Are you serious? That is insane. You really expect our Chairman to go to our Manager and say

"I know you have certain long held beliefs about how you want your keeper to play. I know it is the foundation of your entire tactical approach. But...some anonymous fans on the internet think you are wrong and what we need is a huge English keeper with two left feet so that is the way we are going to go."

I certainly dont want any English goalkeeper, we had the best one and the rest are substandard.

I thought Boateng and/or his wife didn't like England. Surely just a lazy, convenient link for the press?

This as most of our links to his past players are

I don't think Bayern will let him go. Unless someone offers big cash.

If he is available for something like £20m-£25m, then why not. But doubt it.

His ex-girlfriend was pregnant with twins and he was going to be over here never seeing them, that's why he hated it here back in the day.

Now they've gotten back together and gotten engaged so I assume they'd all come over and he'd be fine.

This would be awesome. Imagine a back line of Walker, Boateng, Kompany, Alex Sandro.

Would be the best defence in the league.

That would be immense!

Frustrating that Boateng never cut it with us. Same wit Savic, nasty and Mangala. Dont seem to be able to develop young defenders.

That's our system making CBs who aren't world class (Kompany) look useless - lack of fullbacks who can defend and lack of protection from midfield. The same will happen to Stones if we don't fix it.

No surprises that our best side has included Barry and De Jong in the squad, yet nobody would put similar players in the transfer "want" list right now looking ahead to next season.

I am reading few Boateng links now. Thoughts?

Out best team didn't actually include Barry and Dejong. It included just Barry. And if by best team, you mean the one who won our first title, it included just Barry. But our best team was in Pellars first year when we blitz the league. And that team did not include either player.

Dr Hong was a limited player. Simples.

Dr Hong was amazing man. I do agree though, De Jong's main attribute was his application/determination and that only brought us so far. Barry was better and Fernandinho better than both ( for me ).

Doubt he'd come back, but I'd have him.

We've been linked with a fair few intelligent deep lying mids and it even has it's own thread so that's Barry covered. De Jong was a sub to close out games in 11/12, we have Fernando for that. Unfortunately we got rid of Javi Garcia who would be a better fit in this team than either for that role.
