It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Asa's left peg]

Actually I think it might, but 7 into 5 probably doesn’t

Haha ! Good job you don't know, I actually thought about that before I typed it.

 

[City Raider]

Then wouldn't we need one?

Don’t know. Kovacic and minutes for Doyle if the king needs a rest

 

[Irlam Haaland]

our rivals making huge moves and splashing the cash big time to catch up to us. I think we should have everybody in we wanted but clearly there were few factor affected this and waiting for players to decide they want to stick or leave and maybe bit slower on moving out the deadwood and surplus of requirement players plus the missing out on Bellingham-Rice sagas...
but we still have 3 more weeks to get the squad in order

time to strike, season will be brutal, more games, more supercups, more fixture build ups, more injuries, more fucking extra times Pep rightly pointed out with all these bullshit extra times we play around 42-43 PL games this season overall rather than 38. and then extra times in Carabao, extra times in FA cup, CL etc will add up a lot. we need more rotation, Rodri already set it out he wont play as much as last season as he almost cannot take it. probably fed up his sub Phillips got 200 minutes versus Rodri's 1 million minutes, as he wasnt trusted to replace Rodri even for 5-6 games...

on top of this rivals are coming for us, refs will come for us too, blind VAR refs too.

Gvardiol, Kovacic great additions, time go up another level tho. I want another creative mid, and someone to scare Grealish, Bernardo to either play perfectly and improving G+ A numbers or else going to sit on the bench. we have that kind of option in defence, not so much on the wings.

treble win is over, Pep said we start again, coming down off the mountain time to climb again, last thing I want is Lego Pep or this German Flopp to clinch the title ahead of us (let alone the fucking fake Seven Hag). do it 4 times in a row like nobody else did it before.
but this time this is a harder mountain to climb, we may have bit less hunger, rivals are stronger than they were, may have more injuries overall, certainly more games to play...

I think deep down Pep will want the Premier league above all else this season, If we succeed and become the first team to win 4 Prems In a row I think he would be more than happy with that, plus we also go Into pot one for the following seasons Champions league.

Maybe okay for a rest but injury would be a problem.

 

[VirginiaBlues]

In what way are any of these wingers we are linked to better than Sane?

They didn't leave the club because they fell out with Pep?

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

not forgetting that beauty v bayern munich

And that goal line tackle at Anfield a couple of seasons back

 

[halfcenturyup]

I wasn’t slagging Brighton off more highlighting the fact that the panick buying of other clubs is allowing Bloom to play hardball like this. We look to have now walked away from 2 deals with Brighton for Mitoma and Cucurella, the disappointing thing is Mitoma would fit us perfectly.

Was said about Cucurella as well .....

 

[foggy1974]

not forgetting that beauty v bayern munich

Or the beauties v Everton & Villa

 

[g180aj]

He may have fitted us perfectly, him looking lost last season at Chelsea doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have worked out for us

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

 

[ScottSinclair]

This is the potential target that kind of intrigues me the most

 

[sd33]

its between him and doku since olise is off to chelsea

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Good, prefer these two over him

 

[leo_city]

He’s the player PSG want to replace Neymar with.

 

[sd33]

 

[not my fault!]

I’d accept that but still firmly believe Philips would be a good player given the time. Sadly at City time isn’t given, you sink or swim! I bet he’d shine at Liverpool.

 

[Blueroses]

That might be true but we don’t just get rid of players like this. He wants to stay and fight. He signed contract in good faith and deserves a chance.

 

[not my fault!]

I fully agree, I’ve no issue him staying either.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Do you know if that journo is reliable?

 

[leo_city]

Do you know if that journo is reliable?

Unsure mate. The reports from France have linked him concretely with PSG as their target and terms already agreed, just waiting to sort Neymar’s future.

But he is a Jorge Mendes client so us making contact likely isn’t news. I reckon the Doku links, since they’ve come from our sources and elsewhere are the strongest and he is the one we’d be looking to sign.
