It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Never said they didn't give us something but Pep seems happy how we are and that's enough for me. It's his job on the line.

Lose somethings in Sterling and gain others in Palmer and Alvarez. The beauty of football.

again there is no proof pep is happy about losing those two players. but like I side the squad building is upto the higher ups and pep works with what he is given.
 
Not bothered about media speculation on fees. Wishing Sterling all the best. V interested to see who will come in his place or if we even replace him at all.
 
We have to trust Pep and the board to do the right things here. I would have liked less outgoings in terms of keeping continuity and we will require new players to hit the ground running. However there is an argument to say that freshening things up will bring more hunger to the team.

I think we were incredibly lucky that we had a generation of players after the takeover who were so committed that they'd just sign new deals every 2 years and we never had to worry. The reality is what we're currently seeing with Bernardo and Raz and previously with KDB. Top players are constantly in demand, and they use that demand to negotiate contracts.

Rather than being extra committed I think its more to do with the fact that most of the top players are now choosing to run their contracts down and move on a Bosman in order to get a big signing on fee. Mane being the latest. We have to accept that players at City might do that too.

BM seems to have a fear that City are in some way less able to keep players and that we are overly emotional and doing Barca favours. I don’t think it’s true or anything to be overly concered about.

I think we would know if he wasn't.

No it's not. How many times. You think Khaldoon signs players like he's playing FIFA?

Transfer committee includes Pep, Txiki and Omar Berrada. Khaldoon and Ferran sign the checks off.

Palmer is more like Mahrez than Jesus or Sterling and it's a lot to expect of him. Mahrez is probably going after his contract ends, so we'd just be in this position after that. Lot of experience to lose as well

I dont know what anyones worried about we’ve lost players before, we’ve brought different players in not always direct replacements and we’ve carried on winning. No reason to expect that to change. I’m supremely confident and looking forward to next season whoever we have in the squad.

I reckon internally that we will be thinking Palmer is ready to play more, we have gained Alvarez and Haaland. This allows Foden to go back out on the left or right.

Don't see any real issues. I reckon it's been well accepted in the club that Jesus and Sterling would go. Not sure why people are acting surprised now.

Love to see more of Samuel Edozie next season his potential is going to be top level didn’t he start at spurs last season in the league or come of the bench?!

Grealish and Foden are technically superior to Sterling, however I'm not sure they replace his goal tally and the amount of 'heavy' goals he scored

Different dynamic in our forward line now. Haaland and Alvarez will take up the slack and some.

no it is not so many times pep has said openly in press that transfers are untimately handled by Txiki and Khaldoon and they do what is best for the club irrespective of the manager. last season pep wanted a forward but the club decided against it did you forget? and no we will not know if pep is unhappy, he never complaints and works with what is given to him.

Grealish technically superior to Sterling, is just laughable.
Even if it's that important to you, he will never be, let's not forget, his not young anymore, his turning 27, y'all can't be speaking about his potential forever!

As for Foden, his a beast incarnate!
That boy will keep rising up the ranks to be one of the finest/ best player of his generation!

saying sterling is better technically than grealish is beyond delusional.
