It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Gumzy97]

Bernardo is PSGs main transfer target apparently.

 

[Ashton Moss Messi]

Theres still Jobe. And if he falls through, the other brother, Jib (though I'm pretty sure he's odd on to go to the scousers).

Scousers won't be taking Job, not any job, it's against Scouse laws

 

[richards30]

All depends on who leaves, as Foden and Kovacic can take minutes there, but even with a full complement, given the amount and intensity of the football we are playing, the likelihood of a key injury in the engine room next season must be high.

If Bernardo and Gundogan stay and we sign kovacic then that will be it for midfield imo mate. Does concern though abit with gundos age and KDB suffers injuries at times in the season? I also think pep wanted 4-5 changes possibly this summer to freshen things up and the group?

Don’t think so, I never expected much more than 3 changes, and still do, Kovacic , Gvaurdiol ? And one more either midfield or right wing I reckon.

 

[Gumzy97]

If Pep can change Kovacic into a goal scoring and assisting midfielder. Then we have one of the best midfielders in the prem. Kovacic just glides past players when he dribbles,he just lacks end product.

If Pep can get Kovacic to develop end product to his game. Then your looking at a scary prospect. He could launch counter attacks on his own.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

There are other midfielders so I wouldn't be too worried about Bellingham

 

[BlueCityfan]

Even if this results in Foden moving central, i don't see any world class right-wingers on the market. Or am i missing someone?

 

[bluwes]

Ha, sorry Kaz.

Both could still be gone by this time next week, the only positive feedback City since last week is they insist willing to stay and no agreements with anyone else.

Also keep an eye on Ortega news.

Possible Ortega out to Spuds as first choice ?

Agree. We do face the challenge of keeping everyone happy, dare I say it being 'holistic', but as you say the midfield is getting rather creaky. Will certainly be an interesting summer. Even if we are successful on Saturday, we face the problem of maintaining such high standards again next season, which might be difficult if a nucleus of our key players have emotionally peaked; they've wanted this so desperately for 3-4 seasons now that a drop after a win cannot be ruled out. Similarly, if we are unsuccessful on Saturday, perish the thought, we face the problem of addressing an ageing midfield that might just not have the engine to go the distance again. Not much riding on Saturday, then...

As in, we could lose him?
Bad news, I love Stefan, but maybe we could give Trafford a chance?

Won’t be surprised if Burnley or spurs are interested in signing him! With his abilities I’d say around 30m is the going rate for a goalie of his calibre

 

[Mr Blue Stuff]

Tbh, the only signing I would look to make is Pep on a 10 year deal. All the rest will look after itself. Put your trust in the best manager around and don’t panic over losing out on the certain high profile players. Refer to Alvarez, Ake, Akanji, Ortega, Rodri and many more. It doesn’t always have to be the next shiniest, big name £100M signing to win trophies (Refer to Chelsea and their shenanigans, Utd with Pogba, Sancho and many more, Scousers with that donkey upfront and how much did Arsenal spend last summer). Put your trust in the club and Pep, fuck Sky, fuck the media, fuck whatever agenda you may think there is and enjoy being a blue under possibly the best manager that’s ever lived.

 

[Onlymcfc]

I would love us to go in for Rice this summer. Incredibly versatile, entering his prime years, ambitious and seems like a nice lad too. If the fee isn't obscene, it is a no brainer.

 

[Haaland94]

Oh yes please

Now we are talking, I like it, quality player.

 

[Legal Alien]

This...I'd also like Erling to sign an extension to stay here until he's at least 30.
Give them both whatever they want!

sad.

 

[skillman]

Personally glad it's (seemingly) done - rapid considering our season hasn't even finished yet and means we can move onto next targets.

Personally quite excited to see our alternatives.

I hope that's extension news, nothing else.

Really don’t want to see him at Arsenal mate

 

[FlatlineMonday]

I believe City have won Bellingham's signature.

Happy to stand by the information, the kid wants it sorting now.

Still happy to stand by the information?
