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

[M12Blue]

If you're Danny Ings, finally getting into the spotlight after 4 years of injury riddled hell, finally getting a chance to get in the England side, compete for the golden boot etc....

Why would you move to Manchester City to be 3rd choice striker and start 6 Premier League games?

England chances despite recent call up slim given our forward players. There’s also £.
Given games this year and next, he’d get plenty of game time I reckon. Having said that he’ll be too expensive

 

[BillyShears]

Telles would be nice

From what I've seen/heard/read he can't defend for shit. Not sure that's really a good move. It is a difficult position to buy for. I wonder if they may consider that young French kid City and United have both been heavily linked with.

 

[brummie blue]

Sounds like Ruben Dias is done then. Hope we have funds/time for one more signing, hopefully a midfielder, and maybe a loan deal for a striker.

But efforts could be put into moving Oti, Garcia and possibly Zincenko on.

Sounds perfect for us then

Camavinga? Reports from France seem to indicate he's all but done to Madrid for next summer.

Think he meant Ait-Nouri the left back

 

[leo_city]

I'd prefer Grimaldo to Telles, also from Benfica. He's a La Masia graduate I think, technically sound as well. Surprised we haven't been in for him considering he wouldn't be so expensive either.

No, young French left back. Rayan Aït-Nouri - he plays at Angers and has been linked with both City and United. Highly rated.

 

[Dobsy]

Long term replacement for Sergio?

Proper windup merchant you

 

[nmc]

It’s Dias, all hugs with players and manager definitely looked like goodbye.

Carbon copy of Ederson’s last game. Benfica certainly could teach Barca a few things regarding respect for players etc.

 

[nmc]

Would love to see us sign one more. Ideally Aouar.

Cant believe we are letting Arsenal have a free run to get him for circa €40m.

 

[nmc]

What would people think about a move for Danny Ings, reckon he'd bag a hatful in this team?

Timing is all wrong. Soton will want a ridiculous fee - after all they are The Dipper feeder club.

Don’t be suprised. We did the same with Thiago. Club obviously feel we don’t need a new CM

 

[nmc]

Left back would be nice, but not sure yet if it's going to happen.

Would prefer another midfield player. Worry if we lose KDB for any length of time we will struggle.

Foden is already as impactful as KDB from whichever position he plays. I've got no worries about centre mid this season.

Hahahahaha. What a crock of shit.

He’s light years behind KDB but can hopefully get to his level one day.

Doesn’t mean foden isn’t class because he is but to say he’s just as good as KDB at 20 is laughable.

Imagine if you and @brooklandsblue2.0 had a lovechild. That level of intellect is something we can only dream about and aspire to. I bow to your superior knowledge of players' relative abilities.

He didn't say as good, he said impactful, being able to play regularly & have a positive impact on the team, help in terms of workrate and creating chances. No one's saying he's on the same level. Foden has given our attack and midfield great energy ever since he's been a regular.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Are we done after Dias?

I would think so. Thankfully, I’m usually wrong.

Point still stands- nobody in the world can be as impactful from midfield as KDB which is why he’s the best midfielder in the world. Saying a 20 year old kid can be just as impactful is laughable.
