It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Like i said...i dont think that is the case...

We have lost Ferna as well remember - possibly being replaced by phillips

But as i said i think we had one of the smallest squads last year padded out with quite a few EDS lads. So we probably have space..

Losing Gabby, Sterling and potentially Bernardo and not plreacing any of them would be huge...
It is right if we get Phillips and a left back somebody has to leave as we’ll be at 22. Not one person has suggested losing Jesus, Sterling and Bernardo and nobody coming in. The debate is if we lose Sterling and Jesus do we bring one more in.
 
I will give you time to go and find where I said anyone would be bought without pep's approval. that guy your quoting has a very poor grasp of english. I hope for his sake he passed his english language classes in school. ok go on you have 5 mins to find the line where anyone would be bought without pep's approval?
I'm not saying his approval tho...I'm saying on his say so as in this is who and what I want...its a bit different then Txiki bringing someone to Pep and asking for his approval...it may sound similar but its a huge difference in philosophy...they go after ONLY the players Pep wants...I firmly believe this...I'm sure they make suggestions but at the end of the day if Pep's not feeling you, you're not coming on board...

We will have to replace them IF they go. City know that they won’t leave Pep short but won’t sign just anybody we’ve been there done that.
 
The Grealish stick in the last few pages is bordering on delusional. Surprised he can kick a ball with how some talk. I’m still convinced with a natural left back providing the width he’ll shine inside.
Grealish was 4th in the league in expected assists per 90. Only behind KDB, TAA, and Salah. He was 2nd in the league in shot creating actions per 90 behind KDB. He led the league, by far, in carries into the penalty area (88 vs Salah 71). He's absolutely a creator and with Haaland his assist tally will surely shoot up.

everything you said is correct but I asked you to go find where I said otherwise, like the other guy who has a low comprehension of english seems to imply in the quote you replied to.
 
Maybe we need to pull a Kaka on Bernardo. Arrive in numbers and demand he stays. Burn Barca flags etc

Jack is absolute class and will show it now he’s bedded in.
 
Palmer is ready for the step up, he’s looked the part when he’s played for the first team and he’s far to good for EDS level, he takes the piss at that level. It’s going to be an interesting summer. I’ve got a feeling that Bernardo will leave and Foden will permanently drop back to CM, then we’ll sign a LW.

Grealish/new LW
Haaland/Alvarez
Palmer/Mahrez

That’s strong attacking options. Neymar is a **** but I think Pep would rejuvenate his career. I haven’t seen much of Leao, so I can’t really comment. Felix isn’t a LW, but maybe Pep could see him in that position. Nkunku would be at the top of my list. He can play across the front four and even a bit deeper.

Grealish will never be top LW.


He might be the great LCM.

We'll let him go and search, lol...
 
only messing. The work rate from sterling and Jesus is phenomenal. Bernie going would cause us problems I agree. No one is throwing these players out they want to go.

A new approach is needed. For all the good points you make for each player. The ability to score regularly has been a problem. Hell jesus even decided he wanted to be a winger. Sterling for whatever reason wants to go and has looked a shadow of the player he once was for us.

The club need to move on. This current team limped home again for the second season in a row. Winning the league was an amazing achievement with no forward, dwindling Fern and a lb in jail.

I am very thankful for everything that both players have contributed. We can’t fear their loss but accept change is coming mainly due to as I said the players mentioned wanting out.
93 points. That’s some limp.

I would also add that I can't think of a player who didn't improve in thier 2nd season with Pep,
 
Pep's never going to show his cards to the media in advance of anything...and why should he?...to think anyone could be brought onto this squad without Pep's say so is bonkers...the only way onto this squad is if he wants you...end of story, period!!!
I know, some people can`t even grasp the basics of when and when not to lie to the media.Unless your happens to be Simon Stone then Pep always lies to that fucker no matter what.
Pep has it down to a fine art.
 
No not really… players either want to come or they don’t, they either want to stay or they don‘t. We need to stop pissing about and letting teams mug us off by tapping players up and convincing them to sit it out for a free transfer to save them money dealing with us.
We are now one of the big fish and need to stop worrying how other clubs, fans and media outlets perceive us. Screw them, they can hate us all they like but as long as we do our business right and on our terms (and within the rules) then I couldn’t care less what anyone else thought.
On a side note, we need to be banning certain media outlets and or individuals from coming anywhere near the ground on match days.
I get where you’re coming from mate, but pretty much everything you’ve described is common practice in the football industry, so what you see as mugging off, I see as a perfectly normal business practice.

Maybe having done fixed term contract work & turned down extensions has also given me a slightly different perspective on running contracts down? I just see it as a none emotional fulfilling of an obligation

As much as I’d also love us to ban certain journalists, I also believe this would be counter productive from a business & commercial perspective, so can’t see it happening

You really are more stupid than I could have imagined. Explain to me why plenty of people are liking my posts against yours ? Easy because they realise what Pep does is for the benefit of the Club and not with your complete lack of understanding how transfers actually work.
You keep digging mate and throw away that spade and I`ll send you a JCB instead.
You also need to remember what you wrote that got you into this hole that you now can`t get out of.
