It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Pingu the Penguin]

Dare I say he reminds me a bit of Gareth Barry?

That's not a criticism because Barry was a solid player and criminally underrated by fans of other clubs but I'm looking at some of the rumoured fees and thinking surely I'm missing something here?

Fees for English players have been ridiculous in recent years so maybe it's following that trend. Look at the likes of Ben White and Jack Grealish and the £100m+ fee being touted for Dele Alli a couple of years ago or the one Spurs were asking for Harry Kane last year.

It's not something I particularly care about but the squad is heading towards the end of a cycle with various players heading into their thirties or running down their contracts and so I don't really get the idea of blowing silly money on a player who isn't a direct improvement on any of the players he'd be playing alongside or replacing.

The Barry comparison is interesting. He was great for us, but not £100m good.

Out of Mahrez and Sterling who is extending then? Interesting to see what goes.

I like both but out the two, I'd rather we kept Mahrez. Absolute gem.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He was subbed because he’s hugely injury prone, not because he was shit.

He’s pretty much subbed around that time in every game he plays.

He’s defensively shit.
If Pep wouldn’t use Angelino there’s zero chance he looks at Lamptey.

City should get Tchoumeni

Personally think we'd have one midfielder Tchouaméni if we got him. I'll get my coat.

Paqueta is an attacking mid. That's the position of least need. Still think this Nunes fella is mint, but again he's more of a Gundogan type.

Maxence Caqueret would be brilliant

 

[el wey]

Paqueta would be absolutely amazing here.

Thought i was more likely to get a ban, truth be told.

If Bernardo was a full-time DM. I love him.

The fact we're being linked with offensive midfielders kinda indicates that Bernardo is off?

Maybe. Let's hope nobody can afford his asking price again.

Or that fabrizio romano doesn’t have a clue?

Nah most have been box to box players on the defensive side, only Paqueta has been an attacking one so far.

 

[skillman]

I’m just amazed that Mr Tap In has plucked a random name out rather than regurgitating names already out there

Hes just waiting to repeat somebody else's info

In my head I've already accepted that this season is Bernardo's swansong with City. That way, if he chooses to stay then it will feel like a new signing and if he goes then at least I got to appreciate his last few months that little bit more.

Having said that, I can't help but feel sad typing it out.
