It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Ps: what’s with Cancelo walking around with #7 ?? Surely not permanent….

Would envisage going to Sterling’s replacement.

I said it in the Neymar thread weeks ago - this premise that he's a bad apple and would ruin the 'right characters' philosophy we have is bollocks IMO.

He's been liked at every club he's been at by his teammates. Mbappe constantly praises him (and noted him as a reason he joined PSG in the first place) while Messi went to PSG because Neymar was there and to play together.

He's obviously liked by teammates in the Brazilian squad too and when we played them, I remember him going to our players at the final whistle and shaking hands/congratulating. Even when Argentina beat Brazil in the Copa America final in 2021, there's a video of him going straight to Messi to congratulate him.

Not to mention he was the one chasing the ball down/making tackles/actually still trying in the 90th minute at our place when all was lost.

I think the whole bad attitude tag is like it is with Pogba - media stimulated and mainly because they're not orthodox characters. It's a shame really.

Add to that, he's a staggeringly brilliant football player. I'd personally love to see him in blue. He's the kind of player you pay your money to watch. An entertainer with end product.

I can't see it happening, mind, but I'd be thrilled if it did.

the same Mbappe who now wants nothing to do with him after playing with him for 3 seasons, has raised issues with his training and application.

my issue with him is more the simulation, I hate players rolling around when they haven't been touched and I hate City players doing it even more

his injury and appearance record for PSG should be sounding huge alarms within City, hopefully this is just a desperate attempt by PSG to offer him around and we don't take the bait

Massive shame. This is the one - out of him, Sterling and Gabby - that'll hurt the most.

£35m is a bargain too for somebody with a winning mentality.

I'm sure the club aren't casting him aside too, he'll likely have had a chance to stay (maybe a new contract offer too? Albeit a bit of a delayed one considering his role has improved since he signed the last one) but if he wants to play regularly, and in midfield by the sounds of it, then it can't be helped.

Time for the Cucu choo-choo train.

How could we agree to sell to Chelsea if they didn't meet our valuation? Basically, you are saying that 2+2=4.

That's not how transfers work is it. Your telling me every player city have sold was at the players value. What I said was Tolmie was right in what he said, which was city gave a value on Ake and it's met or he stays. On sterling we negotiated due to his contract situation.
