It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Has there actually been anyone saying we are in for Chilwell this time. I feel it’s based on pep wanting him before and is now needing a lb.

perrone is not a defensive player. there are defenders and players who play deeper near the defnsive phase. gundogan can be considered defensive player by you saying, since he plays deeper many times next to rodri. do you think it would be a good idea to put gundo as our right back?

As I said I see him play as a 2nd dm in a 3-2-4-1 and dropping into lb if needed.

Maddison, Chilwell. Talk about underwhelming

This is the issue… underwhelming doesn’t mean they are not the right fit, we as fans have become greedy and want headline grabbing signings all the time. Because he doesn’t make us go “wow” he’s not wanted, but the reality is he could do a job and fit in to this team.
 
Milan fans turning on Leao. Calling him money hungry since contract talks have collapsed, hasn't been playing his best football either

Looks like City have used a strategy from the rags playbook. "Yes, we just let a big first team player go but we are not gonna replace him in January because of insert reason. If we let you know about someone we might sign in the summer will you stop complaining about us doing nothing to strengthen the squad in January? Perfect, here's one name we are monitoring/like/interested in etc so stop whining about whats happening now and get exited about whats gonna happen in 6 months (maybe)"
 
Many thought Grealish was going to be the game changer for us, then Phillips was going to be a masterstroke of a signing. Is Maddison now going to be the catalyst for the champions league...

Mediocre English players are just that.

Not pleased with our recruitment recently. Haaland and Alverez aside, the rest of the players are far too slow and not at the level we need.
 
Nothing more predictable then everyone losing their minds over us being linked to someone inside the league. I would encourage anyone to go back and look at the Kyle Walker or Nathan Aké or John Stones transfer threads if they want a laugh.

I don't really like Madison but we need a creative midfielder on the left of midfield because everything has run through KDB for 3 years and it's far too easy to choke our attack by stopping him.

I thought Grealish or Foden could play there and do that role, Pep won't even try it so he obviously doesn't.

Might as well get waist coat to replace pep while at it.

I get it, you don't like him.

Pep does, and he's not doing a bad job of this managing lark.

There are very few people like Kev, so we need to temper our expectations on a like-for-like.

We never thought we'd replace Yaya and we didn't, not like-for-like at least. We adapted, we signed Kev and the rest is history. Maddison has great numbers for a side that hasn't impressed recently and there's nothing to say he couldn't do a job for City, alongside other replacements which help us adapt as a team. We didn't think we'd replace Ferny, and Rodri again didn't initially. But now he's almost always our best player and enables us to play in a different way.

The best midfield three has typically been Bernardo, Kev and Rodri. Replacing Bernardo with Bellingham gives us that same energy up and down the pitch but probably with more end product. Replacing Kev with Maddison would therefore already allow for a drop off. Maddison got 12 goals and 11 assists last season to Kev's 15 goals and 8 assists. Same goal contribution. It's 3 goals and 12 assists vs 7 goals and 4 assists for Kev and Maddison so far, despite Maddison being out injured for several games and Leicester being shite. Getting him in to learn from Kev would help as well. I'm sure we'll have the cash to get someone else should it not.

Which is incorrect. We want both.

It’s ashame city didn’t get enzo along with juli a year ago or in the summer has shown how good he is with argentina and in the champions league.

Would have been absolute coup getting him at 10m rather then the release clause that he has now and everyone going for him in the summer if he doesn’t join chelsea today.

Can’t have a Haaland every season. We’ve had our wow signing, beating every top club to get him.
This summer is about sensible signings for the squad. Maddison, Chilwell and Bellingham would be a hell of a summer.

I don't know why this idea of English players being mediocre has persisted when the current crop of internationals is the strongest in decades.
