It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[snorky]

This is the interview clip

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

How do you come up with this from his interview on sky sports?

Doesn't mention Barca. Has nothing but love for the club.

Or are you wumming?

If you’re asked if you’re gonna stay at a club and your answer is vague about how long you will still be at the club etc. instead of saying something like “excited for the season. Looking forward to challenge on all fronts blah blah” then that suggests he is open to leaving.

I think that’s pretty standard to be honest.

 

[CityBluez]

the worrying thing is we dont get one and ignore this position again this summer?

That will be too risky. They won't have send zinchenko away in that case. So I believe they will sign someone. Or it's just too silly, the zinchenko transfer

 

[Great Kompany]

30 million for Cucu
Is Txiki taking classes from Levy ?

 

[Dirty Harry]

Bang on. Hatton still had to go to his limit to beat Kosta and he was already over the hill.

Even Joshua, lauded for beating Klitschko, a 40-something fighter who should have long been retired.

The most pronounced was Gary Neville playing against West Brom, I think he quit a few days later?

It was hilarious to see him drop off a cliff in 90 minutes.

IIRC he actually said in his book that at half time he told Ferguson he was “done”.

Everyone knows he wants to leave for personal reasons. He wanted to leave last summer too. This isn’t news.

He wasn’t sold because no one matched our valuation. He won’t be sold this season either if no one matches our valuation.

Barca, unless they sell Pedri, Gavi etc aren’t in a financial position to buy Bernardo silva.

 

[samuelyeboah]

classic pep answer. so so happy. we are happy

pls don't start the season with literally 2 fullbacks

 

[Coatigan]

I highly doubt that. Yes after months of testing the water and them saying he is 'not for sale' but if he were it would be over 50m, the club would go and 'offer' 30? I don't believe it. In the same way I didn't believe Arsenal offered 30m for Gabi or chelsea 35m for Raz.

Just a bit of fun drama for the media at this point isn't it.

Ornstein, Sam Lee and Jack Gaughan all backed this claim that City bid 30m. Seems true, and funny.

 

[Gumzy97]

Raum is literally there for the 30 odd million. He keeps improving as well. He’s going to be a dangerous player I hope that if Cucurella doesn’t come we go for Raum. He’s going to be one of the best full backs in the world if he continues his trajectory. His tenacity is what makes him stand out

wasnt the £30m clause not correct though mate? I agree though that if (and still a big if) we only have a mid £30m valuation of Cucurella then we should just move on Raum and give him and pep some time to work together.

Was the Raum-interest reported by anyone credible? Only seen Sosa as an option by Gaughan etc

It will shut us moaners up that think we need 4. In the end we'll be fucking delighted we are going with a grand total of 3 and not 2, rather than thinking it might not be enough.

See, this should concern anyone

They have the money after selling if there family jewels it’s the Spanish wage cap only stopping them of there sorted they will be able to bid big money..

 

[leo_city]

I really like Wilson-Esbrand though, I have no doubt he will come good by playing more and gradually improving this season. But we need to have a starter there, or at least get someone for the right side to cover for Walker.

 

[oldhamblue]

See, this should concern anyone

I read Pep's comments as a signal to Brighton that we won't go above our valuation of Cucurella

 

[walker_is_faster]

Apparently this summer if someone want's Raum price is 40 milion euros.Next summer when his clause become active price is 30 million euros.

 

[Keeper!]

See, this should concern anyone

LOL you want Pep to say fuck it we will pay Brighton what they want?

He will be joining us, negotiations take time, if there was any doubt we would have moved on.

 

[Cobwebcat]

It will shut us moaners up that think we need 4. In the end we'll be fuxling delighted we are going with a grand total of 3 and not 2, rather than thinking it might not be enough.

If Pep genuinely thinks Esbrand can be used in the PL then we would only need one more signing at full back and I would be really pleased but I don’t think he really means it.

You are right though I wanted 4 full backs but the thought of starting the season with 2 means I would take 3 right now!
