It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Always knew that the CFG was nothing but a pyramid scheme all along.

that's a Nilelistic view.

Interesting, not sure this is wise if this is true.

Stuart Brennan said the same thing today, a club brief maybe?

I still don't think it would make sense to if we're not losing anyone. As much as I might not like the thought, Gundogan will probably play further forward unless we're going with a double pivot more often because, unless we lose three centrebacks this summer, I'd imagine Fernandinho will go back into rotation as a holding midfielder.

Disappointing news in regards to Aouar

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Shame if true, as we’ve clearly put in some of the leg work with Aouar over the last 18 months - and he’d be a great addition to our squad - but I guess midfield isn’t our most pressing need at the moment, and it could be argued he’d be more of a luxury than a necessity.

That would leave us with:

fern/rodri

gundogan/Bernardo

de Bruyne/foden

mahrez/torres
sterling/??

aguero/Jesus

i know foden and Bernardo can also fill in on the wings but with the schedule being so compact and pep wanting two players for every position we are short imo. maybe adds More credence to the rumours we want a striker and perhaps Jesus will move to lw?

sure the club will get it right whatever happens.

Pep Guardiola is our manager, of course we'll be signing a midfielder this summer.

 

[kaz7]

Wrong forum? Is it any topics about CFG Portofolio clubs?

Cue delooney blaming us for the deaths of the men who perished building the pyramids

That would make more sense to me seeing as we'll need a quality striker soon anyway but I don't know if we're going to have the funds for one of those this summer.

Plus Sterling, Mahrez and Bernardo aren't exactly injury prone so it will be similar to when we only had Sterling, Sane and Bernardo.

This is definitely the summer to push for a new striker to take over from Aguero.

With FFP having been ‘relaxed’, allowing us to spread our spending over 2 seasons, and our relative strength this summer in comparison to many of our competitors due to the Silverlake cash - not to mention our model being far less reliant on match day income than most - we won’t be better placed to get the right player in for the right price at any point over the next couple of years, at least.

Plus if Aguero starts to drop a little this season, clubs will know we’re desperate and will fuck us with the fees next year.

We need to make our position of strength count this summer, and get the guy in who’s going to ease the inevitable loss of Kun’s goals - which is coming, whether we like it or not.

And I think the Club knows where we stand, so I’d expect us to box this one off before next season starts.

 

[sir baconface]

Wait wait... Think there might be a hidden message in that!
Hm, it's about so called "players". And they might be "signing" something...

"Ha" is a typical regional statement around Dakar, Senegal.
And the high number of vowels used in the sentence tells me everything about an imminent Aouar deal.
Case closed.

Ha is clearly code for Haaland.

 

[Gumzy97]

If we are not signing a midfielder who are the 3 players coming in and what positions are they? also you dont think Pep likes Grealish because he can play LW and CM that covers two postions and Pep loves players that are utility players.

LB, CB and a forward...?

they say so many things that contradict themselves - they havent got a clue.....one day they will get something right as they throw so many contradictory claims around that eventually they will get something right

 

[Rammyblues]

Back it both ways and you are always right

 

[St.Pauli support]

City showing class once again by not talking about Aouar pre match ;)

 

[pavelsrnicek]

@Ric mentioned 3 being far down the line. Koulibaly looks like one. After that maybe Aouar but as for the third, left back or forward? Or maybe Scott Carson signing a permanent deal.

‘Not planning to’ does not mean won’t, and if the deal was already in place for Aouar some time ago, then no planning would be needed.
