It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Is it wrong to be buzzing about the new season and thinking about the long-range shooting of Haaland, Alvarez and Palmer, giving us one quality that we haven't really had too much of? I wonder if Pep will be more accepting of the odd 'give it a welly'?

Top last season bud.

Edit: in fact we've been 1st, 1st, 1st, 3rd, 1st in the last 5 seasons.

Definately not, we will see something new this coming season which could be the start of an unprecedented domination.

I just have a nervous personality which makes me prone to flapping (will never post in the match thread because this).

This would have been ideal to throw Taylor Harwood Beliss into the 1st team. Have him as 4th centre back and blood him in cup games and the odd league game.

Right footed. Mbete is perfect for this role that ake is leaving. Sooner or later we need to trust some of these kids to take up squad roles. We have 3 cbs all of whom are leaders, bleed blue and are way ahead of their age. Thb, callum doyle and mbete would be gems in any other club.
Mcatee in midfield again he's a city fan, loves the club and at any other club fans would be pushing for him to be getting game time.
Upfront we have delap. He doesn't have the connection to the club but the lads a beast. In haaland he has the perfect role model as they have similar qualities.
 
Interesting snippet in the Sky article on Sterling finally going:-

The fact that City can cede two attackers to members of the 'Big Six' - Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal for £45m and Sterling to Stamford Bridge - without trepidation is a sign of their solid recruitment and the gap that exists between the clubs.

Raheem Sterling: Chelsea agree £47.5m fee with Man City for forward

Raheem Sterling headed a shortlist of Thomas Tuchels attacking targets and had entered the final year of his contract with Man City; Chelsea on verge of reinforcing attacking options after Romelu Lukaku returned to Inter Milan on loan

Agreed, but knowing Pep, he wants beautiful goals, total football, I am not sure a good "welly" is his style ;)

People around saying that Man City may not replace more outgoings, and that Pep more and more likes working with a smallish squad.. and that Grealish, Haaland was the replacements etc. What they are forgetting is that they are replacing Kun and Torres as well from back when City had a much bigger squad really.
19 senior* pros is at LEAST one to few I feel.

Ederson
Ortega

Walker
Cancelo
Dias
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko/Cucurella

Rodri
Phillips
De Bruyne
Gündoğan
Silva

Foden
Grealish
Mahrez
Palmer*
Álvarez
Haaland

*Including Palmer

Its pretty crazy that a lot of journalists and fans of other teams thinks this really.. they still think City got the widest squad in da world. Its like 2020 talk.
They are all extremely high quality but you need pure numbers at times as well.


Edit: in my mind though, I do think that Grealish signing was a thought of cos they probably knew that Sterling was not gonna re-sign and they wanted to pre-cover themselves in that eventuality (sale, 1y contract left) but all the rest is not.

e2: For comparison 1 sept. 2020, City had 21 comparable including Foden that had a senior high wage contract by then, +Garcia. Only position that wasn't double-covered then was AM/CM with 3 instead of 4.

Like cos Pep like da man innit?
 
Romero at Spurs would be an excellent signing. Levy would probably want at least £1 billion though. The ****

Barca ate completely fucked, they've now offered £55m for Raphina but want to start paying it in 5 year installments with the 1st being next Summer

They ate fucking cheeky cunts that need a fucking good slapping

Leeds are playing fuck because Chelsea have offered the full 60m with 2 payments but Raphina wants Spain

Barca are the shit on everyone's shoes they are messing with people's lifes & getting away with it & tapping up every man & its dog

They owe De Jong & others but won't pay the 17m untill next season & beyond
They owe for Torres, Dembele wants his money & new deal

Bayern won't deal with them & Leeds certainly won't

They are in serious trouble with bankruptcy on the horizon according to some people close to them

They should be banned from Europe. They’re a disgrace!

people really have GOT to tamper their expectations for 4th choice CB replacement or they are going to be extremely disappointed

I disagree various reasons someone would,
If you are in the twilight of your career and get promised the odd game a huge pay rise and a future coaching role
Alternatively your a young up and coming and are told there is a pathway to first choice
If you’re in your prime obviously not
That is why for me I would go for an old pro for that spot

That's why I specifically mentioned Scott Carson, as an example of someone clearly winding their career down with an eye on their coaching career ! Established players in their prime years will not sign to be a 4th choice.
