It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

Like when we all knew we were signing Bernardo?

Top clubs rarely let players go in the middle of the season when chasing titles, letting Torres go at this stage is a weird one, I think we may have one incoming.

Summer and January are a totally different kettle of fish. Anyway, if I was a gambling man I'd wager a lot that come Feb our squad will be identical, but without Ferran Torres. The only reason we're letting him go is because he wants to and because we don't need him.

 

[Keeper!]

My feelings as well was hoping for a striker but Pep said no, but when Torres leaves i do not think we will buy a right winger we were already overloaded.

We don't need any wide players, but if we were to lose Rodri for any period, to me we are in trouble.

Rice and Haaland 150m good summer business

Bellingham is better imho

Rice and Haaland 150m good summer business

Rice gets in pretty much every other Prem side as first choice,he aint coming here to sit on the bench for much of his time.

Besides,i suspect the total fee/cost for those two would be over 200m.

Was saying that in the summer, was gob smacked when we bought only Grealish, no disrespect to Fernandinho but if you play with only one player in DM you need 2 back ups.

Rice will go fo Chelsea imo.

 

[skillman]

Rice will go fo Chelsea imo.

This. Childhood best mates with golden boy Mount and played there as a kid before being released. If Lampard was still there, Rice would’ve moved last Summer.

Just a matter of time still, though, I reckon.

Congratulations! idiotic post of year. Just in time too!

In your opinion of course

…and because you don’t want someone moping around. That in itself can have an unsettling effect.

We would already know if City were gonna attempt to sign anyone. The silence surrounding us and Pep's insistence of no activity is telling. City don't do impulse transfers. They're long, drawn out and planned.

that might be true but I suspect LB is one position we might go in Jan. our LB is now in prison and have no recognized LB in the squad

Dont think he who must not be named has really been part of the squad planning for a while now. We have Zinchenko and Cancelo. Both playing at a very high level and Cancelo in particular is the best LB in europe.

Zinchenko is no serious contender to play in a CL game if we actually want to win it. he will be like a lamb to the slaughterhouse if we play him against anyone decent who can dribble with the ball, he defends like how kids defend against their dads in the playground. if you play Cancelo LB and Walker RB then we do not have any decent cover to play in the big games and we ain't winning the CL like that

Ok, well he has played in plenty of CL games. He has been part of this squad for years, we have won trophy after trophy with him at LB.
Anyway, we aren't signing a LB so pointless argument. Unless Zinchenko gets sold.

It’s close call one thing Rice has is he has played in premier for the last few years he is few years older though 22

We know Haaland is 65m rice West Ham would want 80/100m

 

[waspish]

Kind of agree and if they go for a player they will get them plus they had a + net spend in the summer even after spend 100m

We got to a CL final with Zinchenko as LB, and have won countless trophies with him. If Pep thinks he’s good enough, then he is

 

[MadchesterCity]

Bellingham?

How old is he?

 

[MadchesterCity]

Omg another overpriced English player again

West ham were saying £80m for him.

Coming from Tokyo I thought you would love rice



















sushi

But he wasn’t in the Final, was his mistake
