It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

We’re either choosing not to spend more than we earn or we cant. If it is choice then hopefully that is because future targets are being lined up for next summer rather than not seeing value.

No one wants a return to sinclair rodwell days of buying because we think we have to but equally id expect them to have genuine high quality targets to persue at every window. However this window feels like a 1 in 1 out policy from an already thin starting position.

Maybe we got wind of what the new premier ffp is for going to be and making sure we don’t over spend! I have the feeling it will to do with wages control like the Spanish league have now and one of the reasons Barcelona are in so much shit…

I know what you said...he needs to be replaced...I am responding to the idea that his departure will affect our point total...after moving Torres who basically missed the entire Fall with injury we proceeded with Mahrez, Foden, Sterling, Gabby, and Grealish as Palmer was injured the entire Spring...now we have Haaland, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez, and Palmer...please explain how we are weaker in attack...I think people on here are losing sight of just how good Haaland is...he is far and away the best pure goal scorer on the squad capable of equalling or exceeding Raz and Gabby's combined 30 goals himself...Mahrez may drop off a bit, but Foden will only get better and Grealish should improve dramatically in year 2...adjustment or no adjustment a player of Alvarez' ability surrounded by this cast will do some damage and likewise for young Cole...I'm actually expecting City to exceed last year's goal total both overall and in the league...

Sell Ake and replace him with De Ligt at the same price. Haha!

I'm sure Chelsea will have gone after De Ligt before Ake, though, and there'll be a reason for them not pursuing. I read Bayern were after him when he went to Juventus and regrets it?

Something about that Ajax crop of moving to a club and regretting their choice (De Jong/De Ligt)...

They need to give Palmer much more game time this year, the guy is 20 he isn't a kid anymore in football terms. Foden for example played 50 games in the season he was 20. If they got another attacker in he would be lucky to make 15 appearance with Alvarez coming in aswel, it just isnt enough.

Although I agree he was injured for most of last season and would have more than likely played a lot more

Maybe but thats with liverpool just handing a huge contract to salah and breaking their transfer record for nunez and chelsea a huge contract to sterling and looking to spend big without selling to offset.

Who knows what goes on in strategy planning at city and theyve done a (very) good job of it over recent years, but im not yet convinced of this strategy for next season. Plenty of time left and its not their job to convince me

The fox will go nicely with the fucking Great White we have bought.

With or without the fox, City will be feeding, no doubt!

Got this clue already.
Great white was nickname of Greg Norman the golfer.
A fox is known as cunning.
We are signing Greg Cunningham as left back.
Next :-)
