It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

why is there so much panic? The squad genuinely seems in a good state for me. Just make sure to get Kyle’s replacement, same for any other exit.

Everyday I'm in here, it's like groundhog Day *sigh*

To the tune of 'I wanna be a Rock Star' *Clears throat*

I'm through with listening to rumours about players we'll never get in
It's like the Stuart Pearce years where we're never gonna win
This transfer window hasn't turned out the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)

I want players that excite in an 'invincible' team
And a sextuplet season I can bask in
And a king size armchair big enough for ten, plus me
(Tell what you need)

I need someone else to finish this ditty, while I get back to sleep dreaming of my beloved City - yep I'm bored

You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide?
Buy someone, buy someone, anyone
Tolmies linked us to everything
Give us a sign
Buy someone, buy someone, anyone
Your silence is deafening
Make up your mind.


Bored too.

When you get the squad on paper does look a little light. Nothing overly worrying but an addition on the wings (both sides) is vital. Mcatee and Palmer will play a part this season. I’d even keep Harwood-Bellis to cover Laporte if he actually leaves

As it stands this squad is far from light. It's the same squad as last year with Gundo swapped for Kovacic, and improved (more experienced) youth players.

If 3 or 4 of Walker, Laporte, Cancelo, and Bernardo leave then it's a different story.

The squad is a little light, you can't replace a winger like Mahrez with Palmer who has 478 minutes of premier league experience. Doing so would be throwing the lad to the wolves. We are short on both wings and a body in midfield. Mcatee can get some minutes but he is underexperienced for premier league level football, the difference between the championship to the premier league is big.

I meant Mahrez instead of Bernardo in my post. Thanks for mentioning that. I expect Bernardo to stay. Mahrez was a rotation player at best last season, despite how talented he is. Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez, De Bruyne, McAtee and Palmer can all play RW if need be. A loss for sure but I'm not too sure we're in a crisis. But a little light is certainly a fair statement.

This may be the first season in a while our bench doesn't finish in the top 4-6 if they were another team lol.

Plus... (if the squad rules allow it)
  • Gomez as a Grealish backup
  • Cancelo as a general utility player
  • Bobb as a winger/forward
  • Perrone an another option in midfield
  • An academy full of sinkers or swimmers

Only thing I’m worried about is if Rodri gets injured, Kalvin can keep possession and pass but breaking up play he’s no where near Rodri. We look so open when he’s at CDM in the cup games he played last season.

Has Phillips ever played with Stones stepping into DM though, maybe that will help him when it’s tried.

That’s a good point hopefully he does look different with Stones next to him, I just think he’s not the player we signed from Leeds which is shame as he was very good there, aggressive into a tackle etc , but I think the injuries have slowed him down, his last season at Leeds he was injured a lot , last season for us he had injuries. Just doesn’t look the same player , looks a yard slower than how he was at Leeds. He has had some bad injuries
