It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Trickyblues]

Full credit to them. He had a lot of people fully believing him even though he had got so much wrong over last few years. Pep last season 2 years ago, chilwell coming, neymar, cucurella done deal, pep signed new deal, never in for Kane, haaland coming in January etc etc.

Before anyone says it’s the transfer forum I get that and I don’t have any problem with speculation but pretending your some kind of ITK and as a result people putting money on the back of the info. Doesn’t sit right with me.

If people are putting bets on based on the information they see on here then the jokes on them.

#SergioGomez of #Anderlecht is in very advanced negotiations with #ManCity #ManchesterCity
Looks to be a local journo who covers italy and belgium

He failed at Dortmund, does anyone know how he has been at Anderlecht

 

[Kamaro011]

Tolmie was saying this was our LB target months before the cucurella links

Another la masia graduate?, have high chance we can sign him as alternative then.

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Spanish and has Barcelona connections. Is he any good?

Yes, more of a winger converted to FB but hardly useless.

Coached by Vinny, La Masia Product and Peps brother is his agent. If this is true and we cant close the deal we should fold up tbh lol.

 

[simon23]

Never ever heard of him

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Big fan of this lad.

 

[Gumzy97]

Can play left back and centre back

 

[DeBlueLou]

Going into a World Cup year with a squad smaller than last years. Lol

It’s ok though ;) apparently

 

[David Silva]

Another la masia graduate?, have high chance we can sign him as alternative then.

Imagine he would also be relatively cheap but surely a huge downgrade on Cucurella and also the linked alternatives like Sosa.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen him but articles/videos suggest he’s a good crosser. 5ft7 though, I worry he’s another angelino.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Never ever heard of him

Another one I will have to Google/YouTube

 

[DeBlueLou]

There is no way in hell City will pay 80m+ for Gvardiol

 

[TheThirdDeano]

I'm all on board for Gvardiol, the stand out defender for my Bundesliga team throughout Fifa 22

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

He failed at Dortmund, does anyone know how he has been at Anderlecht

Converted to LB and Key player for Vinny. 15 assists and 7 goals from the left side last season

 

[David Silva]

Maybe Chelsea coming back in for Ake now Kounde is gone? Don’t see why we’d be interested in a CB otherwise, same goes for the Fofana link.

Could the Ake proceeds + 40m we offered for cucu get us Gvardiol + Gomez?

If he’s not actively charging people for info or telling them to put money on a transfer then it’s not an issue for me.

I always think back to ezzy’s posts, much more engaging than 20 pages of moaning about our transfer policy.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Only missing a left back, we're stronger everywhere else so far.

I still think a winger and a left back however would be happy with a top class left back

[decmancity]

Poor scouting I’d call it. Two senior fullbacks for 60 games and a World Cup in between. Scary

We have a database full of players. They can't force Pep to accept them.

The recruitment team can only do so much. If Pep watches the footage and says no then thats it. I hope we never end up like some clubs that buy players without the manager giving the go ahead. It is a dangerous game.

Always totally reassuring to see tackling as a weakness for a defender
