It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Something I haven't seen mentioned very often is one of the biggest variables; the manager.

I don't know one way or another but it seems to me there's an assumption that Xavi is a top manager who will mould the players they buy into a top team. I'm not sure that's been tested given the upheavals there since he was appointed and his lack of any significant track record. It has the potential to go very, very wrong. Hopefully.

so far from what ive seen, i dont rate xavi at all as a coach

I don't think it's for the want of trying.

Nobody of note wants to join them and their income means they can only spend so much.

Newcastle's glass ceiling won't ever be above domestic Cup semi-finals/finals if they are lucky.

Everton have found out the hard way.

There was an article a few years back about Newcastle’s airport being too local to attract international talent. There’s plenty of flights to France hence Newcastle bringing in a lot of French talent a few years back.

One of the benefits of Manchester airport being a hub is that international players know they can get home relatively easily. It’s been helpful for City, united abdceveb Liverpool.

Cucurella to CITY

Cucurella deal: Cucu put in a written transfer request to leave Brighton and join City. Brighton still want 50 while City have offered 40. Rumour is that City will put a final bid in this weekend.

Bernardo: Usual stuff from Spain which will run until the window closes or he leaves for Barca.

9 days to the start of our season.

The window closes 11PM on 1st September.

I’ll post one of these most evenings around this time on this thread

You are welcome.

Please note this isn’t a summary of what is in the news, what I reckon or what will definitely happen. It’s only a summary of what is currently being discussed on the transfer forum

I read the same this morning, it sounds like they’re getting a cut of his wages almost, they obviously didn’t want another CB coming in on a massive fee & having his performances ripped to shreds, so part of the fee is going under the rug, nothing to see here HMRC

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Just read it on the sky sports app, I know it's common practice to Include an installment based on x appearances, but a never ending 56k a game seems excessive and very Manchester united

Jesus - that Club is a proper fucking shambles, isn’t it.

You kind of thought this staggering level of financial idiocy might have died when Woodward left the Club, but it’s good to see his replacements are just as shambolic and out of their depth!

Your not wrong.

Hope he breaks the all time appearances record and is absolutely wank.

I'm surprised we aren't targeting him, he's a Mendes client, Wolves are in need of finances, wouldn't be too difficult.

I would be surprised if we targeted a player who is not even a regular starter in Wolves as the guy to offer competition for Cancelo/Walker.

That's straight off championship manager. He didnt play today so there's money saved for next time.
Looks like he'll be warming the bench all season then.
What a joke of a club.

Contracted to 2026 and the sell on fee to his last club is 50% would cost a stupid amount
