It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

That’s if City don’t come in for him. If we gave him a call he’d take the first plane I think. City or Bayern, no other options

His girlfriend would drive him here herself!

Ooohhhh interesting :)

 

[Ray bloody Purchase]

Lillo back is absolutely huge for the club , happy days indeed.
Personally I’m still not over Chorley away the other night !

Over the Chorley friendly……….I’ll never be over the Chorley friendly

 

[mosssideblue]

So what are we looking at for next season then...

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake
Rodri
De Bruyne, Foden
Bernardo, Haaland, Grealish

Ortega
Lewis, Akanji, Gvardiol, Laporte
Phillips
Kovacic, Gomez
Olise, Alvarez, Palmer

(Plus McAtee and Bobb)

(And presuming we find transfers for Harwood-Bellis and Cancelo).

Nah. Only one team picked from the squad. Will differ depending on fitness, opposition, tactics etc

"Philips can be either Stones"

Not sure if your serious there, to compare him in the slightest to Jon Boy is insulting

He ment the one from the Waltons

Sorry yeah I was just listing a provisional "A team" and "B team" so we could see the squad in one picture. Squad is looking nicely stacked if it stays how it is.

I would take Perrone in midfield over Philips

 

[youngbob]

GKs: Ederson, Ortega
Full-backs: Walker, Lewis, Ake, Gomez
CBs: Dias, Stones, Akanji, Laporte, Gvardiol (Harwood-Bellis)
DMs: Rodri, Phillips
CM: De Bruyne, Foden, Kovacic (Perrone)
Wingers: Bernardo, Olise, Grealish, Palmer (McAtee, Bobb)
CFs: Haaland, Alvarez

Looks more than alright to me.

Get me Doku & Olise in a greedy **** summer. Perrone or Bobb in his spot till hes fit.



Nice, Pep small squad. some closers and changers on the bench.

I would take a bottle of Perrone in midfield over Philips

Harsh

 

[leo_city]

Wow lots to unpack from that press conference. Looks like we’re far from done, and Walker/Bernardo could yet leave.

 

[leo_city]

My takeaway from that is Cancelo is certainly gone, and Laporte is likely staying?! The 6 centre back comment was very interesting.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Just the Philips for Salah swap and we're done I reckon.

Swap Bernardo and Foden and this looks pretty spot on

What did he say about Cancelo and Laporte? Fill me in please

 

[leo_city]

What did he say about Cancelo and Laporte? Fill me in please

Nothing about Cancelo at all, just referenced the transfer window saying we’re not done and things will move. Then this was said, so I’d take that as Laporte taken into consideration

 

[Manc123]

i think he had to say that personally. He could hardly say yeah its too much were looking for laporte to leave. thats when clubs start lowballing and such

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

maybe just think Pep will go one chaos/one control in the middle pairing, can see it though

 

[BrazilianGus]

He’s right. I have said many times I would keep Laporte in addition to signing Gvardiol

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Keeping Laporte is an interesting one, as it will show Laporte put his head down. I think it was very apparent he was being influenced by Mommy Bless Me who was being a locker room cancer. Literally everyone settled down when he was turfed out.
