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

Nonsense and a dream, Messi was going to be the icon of NYCFC and the MLS a licence to print money, the Messi at City would not bring in the millions people think, he's a Barca icon, and always will be.

Watch out everyone, now he's a marketing expert!

We need to win the title back,but it's gonna be hard without new players,and even harder if he plays certain individuals like yesterday.

We’ve got new players & we’ve got many to come back. Other clubs WILL have injuries too

 

[Semper aggressus]

Maybe because of our starting point, we weren’t a draw and had to spend big to attract the best. Maybe there’s a feeling at the club we’re more established now and it should be easier to attract players.

It's not working though. I saw a post from Tolmie's hairdoo the other day that said in the last few years we'd enquired about a whole plethora of top players but none wanted to come. I remember Haaland, van Dijk and de Ligt, mentioned plus a £10m bid for Mbappe when he was about 18.

What we should be looking at as a club is how do we make that level of player interested in us?

 

[bumbleblue]

So for clarification we have 16 foreign players , you can normally have 17 but we have lost a foreign spot by having an “extra” HG player. Basically to bring anyone in someone has to go.
I assume this is correct?

Fern is a no brainer, said before , make assistant manager to Pep, bright, and intelligent and the respect of the dressing room, his playing days are over for us.
Kun too early but that is a major injury at this stage of his career.

Would love Fern to join the back room staff

Anyone know a decent household cleaner?

Sooooo our board have finally decided to become a bit ruthless. Are we sure this the right approach, we don't want to upset the happy clappies?

 

[pavelsrnicek]

21 with 5 homegrown so we can ony have 16 none homegrown.

We do need to include Carson for the A list in the Champions League as one of the youth team keepers can be 3rd choice so should have 1 spot free.

 

[Keeper!]

Watch out everyone, now he's a marketing expert!

Well IF he comes at 34 lets see all these blue chip companies throwing money at Manchester City, the only person getting rich would be Messi.

Did you watch Barca last night?

Fati, that is a kid we should spunk 100s of millions on, a future world start , magnificent player already.

It’s about time other clubs DID.

We have 5 HG players but we don't have to register Carson as a 3rd GK. So we have 1 space.

 

[blueparrot]

I think we've been over this a few times before, we won't be registering Scott Carson for the CL.

Though we can as it stands and if Zinchenko goes and we get a left back. I know not registering Carson is an option but not sure where we are with academy keepers think a 2 or 3 have gone out on loan, might also keep that option for fitting Messi in :).Think ideally we'd have he same 21 for premier and champions league squads.

Thanks I was getting confused

Omar Berrada created Barcelona the marketing machine. There is literally no one in football better qualified to decide if Messi could bring in millions, and the fact is we've heard from very reputatble reports that every single Manchester City sponsor is already committed to increasing their sponsorship to include using Messi's image. We already know that Ronaldo increased Juventus' commercial revenue by 33%.

These are things we know. "Oh but I fink Messi is just a Barca icon he wont bring in any money for us" are just completely unqualified ramblings.

What’s all this house cleaning shizz?? Ffs Tolm at least post a vid.

We can emergency recall keepers and players on the B list for UEFA can be used instantly, so if Ederson and Steffan got injured, Bazunu or Muric would be on the first plane to Manchester.

At this point, they are better than Carson anyway.

He's really just a goalkeeping coach and a placeholder on the bench if someone gets a small injury or suspension.

We can think about that as and when it happens if ever

It’s the here and now that needs addressing

 

[Chi-town blues]

You see this is were we could be seen at going backwards,when he burst onto the scene,many said (not us by the way) that he was the best,better than David Silva etc etc,he wasn’t fit enough to lace his boots in my opinion,but now Dave’s gone we do need someone of his ilk (if anyone out there at present),but I don’t think Kante fits the bill now

Now more than ever if we keep playing high line . No he is no where near david’s level but different type of players. Apple orange .

 

[Keeper!]

Never understood why we didn’t buy VVD when he was at Celtic, could have got him for a song.

And the scary thing was Denayer was their on loan at the same time, our scouts must have seen a lot of him.

 

[twosips]

Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night. Big time. Sped up a potential hunt for a LB that they were considering putting off until next summer. Obviously take it with a pinch of salt, but at least we don't have to wait long to see if anything comes from that.
