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

[Bluemanc100]

Lol how dare he protect his head! I’m not too fond of him but jesus christ. Zaba wore bandages on his head, is that now not allowed?

He's not wearing the protection because of lasting damage or because of medical advice from what I can gather but it's irrelevant anyway... we can see he isn't good enough for our team so needs to go....

 

[richards30]

I'm sure both Aké and Cancelo are terrific leftbacks, but that's not the point. If we decide to not go for a leftback, then we have Mendy who Pep doesn't trust and we all know he won't be good enough this season. Leicester was just a hint of what's coming if we don't bench him. Then it's back to Zinchenko and he's not good enough either. Then it's either Cancelo or Aké, but then we are short on cover for Walker, Laporte and Dias. It's not a good situation. Aké is needed at centreback and Cancelo is needed as a rotation for Walker.

We have to get Tagliafico, or honestly anyone good enough to actually defend that area. 22m for Tagliafico is not pocket change but for his quality, it's nothing. Five full seasons with Tagliafico before turning 32 years old.

I agree 100% mate

I want Tagliafico due to him being a master of the dark arts which we dont have right now in this City team, Tagliafico tries to get yellow cards all the time for opponents by diving or making the most of a challenge on him.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

My guy very quiet today. If they don't do it tomorrow, then they aren't going to do it without Zinchenko going. That's my gut feeling. I'd sit him in the stands but it feels like Pep doesn't want that.

there’s little need to though, because he isn’t a left back. We could easily give him games backing up the DM’s, certainly passes quickly enough for me. He’s about as much pace as
the two snails we usually play there instead of Dinho!

 

[Akpowell]

For 22m it's a no brainer, what are we waiting for. Come on Tixiki it won't break the bank get it done, we'll 10m-15m back for Garcia, and if we can sell Zinc. We'll be quids in.

Dont want any of that shite in my team

Normally I would not but sometimes I think thats where some teams have an advantage. Look at the dippers and rags diving all over the shop and getting pens or back in the day them swarming refs to get our players cards. Sometimes you need a bit of that in the team

No you dont,leave that crap to them fuckers
Never want to see City play football like that,.....shithouse football.

I don't want them doing that shit where they mither the ref but a bit more shithousery towards the other team is well needed. It's almost like other teams can get in our face and rough our players up and get away with it. We need a few lads who are prepared to dish it back out.

 

[vincent]

really would be a mistake to not get him in imo.

Come on mate you would say that about any potential target. You were saying the same about Cancelo last year. ‘Amazing player’ get him etc.

To be fair , Peps best Barca team which won loads of trophies had a lot of dicks in it, Busquets , Dani Alves, iniesta at times, Pedro , David Villa etc all fell around and dived trying to get fouls and cards for other teams. but it got them goals and wins. I hate that side of football but it works to be dicks on the pitch.

Im all for roughing them up,leaving a foot in etc,but none of that diving for yellow cards shit.
Leave that to dippers,scum and Pegs teams.

No ta.

I wanted cancelo and given a run of games in his proper position he would prove himself? Worst case he pushed walker to be better? It’s another position we haven’t sorted properly in the last couple of years and championship players go for more than what he’s available for?

The phrase "False No.9" makes my blood run cold

Your memory has just been sold?

Ten Hag saying tonight he expects Tagliafico and Onana both to stay! Could be the end of that then!

I still think the objective should be a dynamic #6 to play alongside Rodri but clearly not going to happen at this point in the window.

Issue for me is that the shopping list for next summer is potentially looking quite expensive. We'll (presumably) be in the market for a new striker, a Fernandino replacement, and a left back.

 

[sir baconface]

I headed one of those casey footballs when I was eleven - after it had been kicked around for an hour on Greenbank PF. I thought someone had hit me on the head with a sledgehammer. It was similar to heading a medicine ball that had been soaked in a bucket overnight.

Haha. It does explain a lot though and I hope the mods will make due allowance in the future :)

P.S. I just got out of the road of the bastard if it was heading my way.

I'll pass then ta. Don't want any of the team I support doing that shite.
