It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Shaw has gone to Al Ukaneet.

 

[Saad]

Even they don’t want this lunatic. No doubt will be a loan with us paying his wages to a club like Barca

Swap with Raphinha?

 

[Academica]

Correct. Simple as that.

Could of said that last night, you had half the forum ready to commit hari kari.

August 29th, for me. We have enough to start the season, for sure.

From winning the Treble - to having "enough to start the season". I'm going for the "Glorious" 12th, given how long it takes us to get things over the line.
Who am I kidding? I'm starting now ;-) Pep has.

If he’s to go to Barceloaner they will expect Bernardo to be carrying his bags

Keyboards at half mast for those fallen.

 

[Saad]

Sane return?

 

[Semper aggressus]

Why wouldn’t you want to win the league with as many local lads in the team as possible?

I don’t care where they’re from as long as we get the best players we can possibly find.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Please don’t sign Raphina Txiki, he’s gash.

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Having thought about it a bit more it’s hardly surprising so many players want out. We as fans absolutely love pep but my god working with him every day for the past 5/6/7 years must be mentally exhaustig

Think you are spot, Pep is the greatest manager ever, full stop. Pretty sure his demands on the players are quite exacting, with little chance to drop standards, and keep their place.

I am sure he doesn't suffer fools gladly, but all the players know ultimately success, trophies and medals WILL follow. Unfortunately many may find it too intense and see after last years success, a good time to move on.

Interesting how many of his ex players talk of his ability to improve them and also how he made them see the game in a different way. Albeit at the time it was tough to take

Pep has been here since 2016, and ever since all other teams in England have tried to copy him. Often imitated, never equalled.

Never equalled as Pep knows he has to tweak the side, formation and tactics every season

Evolution not revolution, but sometimes needs must.

Trust in Pep, and his executive team.

Just think you could be supporting the Trafford Tax Dodgers

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

What about Al Getmacoat ?

I don't believe that report. He has had offers from Saudi and they would chop your hand off for him.

See what I did there?

 

[freshie]

Based on this video, the guy doesn't seem bad and still has potential for improvement. I assume he plays in the middle.

OlNo

And did so.

 

[MarsLlama]

Why do you want us to try and win the title with a Championship level kid instead of someone like Kimmich or Caceido?

McAtee could easily be much better than Caicedo if given a chance.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

McAtee could easily be much better than Caicedo if given a chance.

You'll get stick for that but there are probably about two and a half people on here would have heard of Caicedo a year or so ago.

McAtee could easily be much better than Caicedo if given a chance.

Which is why he needs to go on loan, so if he isn’t that good someone else drops points and not us.

If he turns out amazing then we get him back after a season with somewhere like Fulham or Palace.

 

[Gorbachev]

Raphina and Olmo...Europa League level or CL group stage level at best.

Neither are anywhere near good enough to lace one of Mahrez' boots let alone him as a complete player.

Exactly this, and you sum up their level perfectly. No way should we even consider those two. They’re Aston Villa level at best.

Many said the same of Akanji and Ake

A loan is a death sentence for 95% of City youngsters. He looks like he's just about survived last year. If we send him on another one, there is a zero percent chance he'll ever make it here.
