It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Obviously believes what he reads, in the echo ;-)

I find it odd. If you compare our current squad with last seasons, the dynamic has changed, but the quality hasn’t diminished. If anything, if we go with what we have now, I’d suggest we are a fraction stronger

 

[Big Dave Watson]

The one thing we do know is Pep will never publically say he wants another player in case Txiki cant get another player.

What Pep says to the media on transfer rumours can be completely ignored.

What exactly has he said out of interest?

 

[nmc]

‘Actually finished’?

Get a grip of yourself mate - if you think selling Sterling, Gabby and Zin means our era of success is in any way over, then you’re even more ridiculous than you sound!

The people moaning about Sterling, Gabby and Zin leaving are generally the same posters who’d moan when they were named in the starting 11.

oh look, another newbie having a pop at a poster who has a fantastic track record and who currently as unlikely as it seems still isnt wrong?

We’ll wait and see, hope those fireworks will be worth the wait

 

[Sentinel]

You tried to pull another poster up for predicting the future, then spent the entire post I quoted doing exactly the same thing - predicting the future.

You may think your hysteria is realistic - that’s an opinion - but frankly it’s not even relevant here.

The point is - you’re guilty of the exact thing you’re criticising others for doing.

Naked hypocrisy like that is never a good look - but at least if you’re going to do it, have the courage to own it!

I pointed out similarities in transfer 'strategies' from 2019/20 season and now. I wasn't predicting anything.
Their confidence/prediction that everything will be fine if not better is based on nothing.

Bookmark this and then let's see what's aged in 10 months.

This will be the most successful season in Manchester City's long history.

I hope you're right.

Quantity over quality - not the way Pep usually works.

A philosophy that Bluemoon has embraced sadly, leaving the place full of Sentinels chatting gibberish morning noon and night.

An influx this summer, coinciding with posts on here being screenshot and posted on twitter.

So would I and it’s not like the window shuts next week, can’t wait for the season to start, think we’re going to see some fantastic football.

 

[ErlingHaalandMCFC9]

We’ve got a very talented squad but we’ve struggled with injuries in previous seasons with bigger squads. Not saying we’ll struggle this year, but if 2 or 3 players are injured, everyone is playing out of position and there’s no fluidity

The class of 22 seem a very strange breed tbh.

Heard anything on cucurella mate?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Listen guys, too many people are responding to me and I don't want to spam on this thread for days now.
I'm just very worried considering the size of our squad.
I really hope Pep and more importantly the board know what they are doing with decreasing the squad because in recent history, that never proved to be a good idea.

Shoulders back, smash it.

I think it is nuts comparing Palmer and Torres, who was an established regular in La liga, in european competitions, and for his national side, but sure if he is good enough this year why the fuck not.

The point was squad size, and Palmer isn't replacing Torres any more than Grealish is replacing Sterling or Cancelo is replacing Zinchenko. Because they were all already here, and 3 will have left.

Which I know is a shallow way of looking at it in the overall squad make-up. But as I keep saying, it was a comment purely on squad size, not on quality, which is another discussion.

Agree generally with the rest, on the 5 subs etc.

I am pretty confident that Palmer will, at the very least, be at the same level as Torres when playing wide. The latter flattered to deceive and would go missing. On occasions it was like playing with 10 men when he was in the side. Hpefully, we should also see some development from Palmer.

Fair point about Palmer and Grealish already being in the squad so they are not replacements as such. Disappointing it appears that we will not be signing another attacking player but at the same time, we have to provide a pathway for our academy players too and are we going to attract quality attacking players when in all likelihood they will get little game time unless they are superstars?

Back to the point about a pathway for Academy players, we could well see McAtee play more this season. Having only watched him play a handful of times, I am intrigued to see how he gets on as he looks to have the potential to be a special talent.

No but I'd be amazed if it didn't happen once Zin does a deal somewhere.

That‘s a big claim there fella. There’s a few good ones to beat and a lot of luck to factor in.

The forum has proper suffered from just allowing any **** to sign up and pollute the board with spam. Most don't even bother being subtle either anymore.

Quintuplet, mate?!!

We aren’t buying any forward players he said I believe….i.e. Neymar.

You predicted it would be the end of us & we’d only win a league cup if we don’t sign anyone

Own it mate. I don’t think anyone has a problem with you being worried, but your melodramatic posts about it being the end are over the top, hence some of the responses you’ve had

Nowt wrong with admitting you’ve posted something a little over the top mate

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I know it is mate but I've never felt so confident.

Premier League and Champions League would do it for me. Totally accept your point about luck though.
