It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Stoned Rose]

Barca PR team

As if city would allow a deal of such magnitude drag on all summer.

If it were one game, you’d have a point.

The fact that it was 15 means that you don’t.

15 (not even all starts) vs selected poor sides is a very small sample size compared to 35 (all starts) vs every team in the league.

The points stands.

i wonder if cucurella comes in and ake leaves that we might sign a left footed CB to cover Lb as well?

I have been watching this lad for a few years who is capable of that, Aymeric Laporte.

Its called unsettling the player there cnuts!

He’s not very good at LB (Imo)

Not really. He isn’t a significant upgrade in an offensive left back.

He’s hardly an improvement at all based on your stats.

I get that getting decent money for players who want to move on.

But essentially strengthening Arsenal and Chelsea with quality (even if they always start for us) is a bit strange.

Giving them 2 each potentially

Will be really sad if Zin does decide to go.

I think, overall, he has been fantastic for us and would love to see him used further forward as well as covering left back when needed.

Much more upset at the thought of him leaving than seeing Raz or Jesus leave.

You aren't going to find any CB that is "very good" at LB.

I’m not gonna convince you but when he arrives and you watch him play for us you will realise how much better at attacking he is.

David Alaba

I hope Silva will extend his contract with us to not entertain this every summer

David Alaba

Didn't realise Real had him up for sale.

That’s just not true.
Aké is miles better than Laporte at LB.
Gvardiol is a good LB, Koundé is a good RB.
David Alaba too.

If he arrives, yes, we will see or not.

He hasn’t demonstrated that he is better, as of yet, is my point.

Id be surprised if Bernardo is still here by end of next summer.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Id be surprised if Bernardo is still here by end of next summer.

If he is, he’ll have signed a new contract.

 

[decmancity]

Gvardiol is a good LB, Koundé is a good RB.

Ake is alright as a LB, same as Laporte. If he was "very good" then he would be a feckin LB and we would have played him instead of playing a midfielder and a RB there for two years.

What relevance is Kounde, a right footed centre half.

 

[kun]

If he arrives, yes, we will see or not.

Fair enough. I somewhat disagree but I understand you’re point.
