It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Mayor West]

I don't think there is even any evidence we were ever really in for Bellingham is there?

And do we really know if the world isn't actually flat??

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Everyone seems to be struggling this time, except Chelsea. Chelsea doesn't struggle because they pay whatever is demanded.

City, contrary to popular opinion, does not just spend whatever it takes.

I'm glad we are who we are and the Chavs are who the Chavs are. They don't make top 4 and their business model is screwed.

Anyone else wondered why we've never been rumoured to Barella at Inter? Can't say i watch them religiously but he's always stood out to me. When i've watched them, certainly has impressive dynamism, work rate and injury record and was rumoured to Newcastle earlier on in the summer

I think the main reason is that he doesn't want to leave Inter.

Chelsea double swoop for Paqueta and Doku, who would be surprised?

I don’t think they would be interested in Paqueta tbh

Could not agree more.

Forget FFP, I think Chelsea is highly likely to end in tears. For a start, any one of those players they have signed on 8-year contracts could turn out to be the next Harry Maguire. They'll still have to pay him for 8 years, and we are not talking minimum wage.

You're happy with the fact we've missed out on three midfield targets and have been left scrambling for another target? Our best midfielder is out for half the season and we've already seen we lack creativity without De Bruyne. I'm all for giving youth a chance but you can't expect McAtee etc to come in and instantly be the solution.

When you say lack creativity, are you ignoring the fact we scored the two goals away at Burnley without him?

And I assume you're allocating each of the 151 goals we scored last season to Kev being on the pitch?

How about the fact that we've still got Haaland in the team, we've also added Gvardiol who will be a colossus and will bring creativity. Yes, we've lost Mahrez (ffs, remember) and Gundogan, but we'll have Dias for more of this season than last, as well as probably a full season of Stones playing further forward.

Christ, we'll be fine and we'll beat the Geordies fairly handily tomorrow.

Just the 350m on two players eh! Easy this transfer lark.

Sorry I am.not sure if you read my message or not, at what point did I suggest spending 350m on 2 players?
Don't let the truth get in the way of being condescending though.

I never do.

Why are some of our fans acting like we’ll be relegated? I get the situation isn’t ideal but not getting Paqueta isn’t end of the world. Why are people panicking all over. Makes me worry sometimes whether some of these actually enjoy winning. A treble, super cup and people are complaining about txiki board not good enough etc etc. the window isn’t even over ffs

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I disagree on the Rice and Bellingham, if we matched arsenal price I reckon he would have joined us and if we offered 150m for Bellingham it would have potentially made it happen for us, based on the prices floating about 200m would be cheap for Bellingham

You're well within your rights to disagree, but I think either was the case.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Must be just me, I'm totally relaxed about the situation, maybe just maybe we will have to give youth more of a chance,, all for it me

I’m the same, but if we don’t beat Newcastle, it might be better to have a few days off here as the flapping will be off the scale.

(Even though we might not win because we’re knackered from Wednesday)

We’ve either got more parody accounts these days or just have a lot of miserable cunts following the club.
Hard to decide which it is most days.

 

[Haaland94]

I don't think Olmo is available this summer, so probably bollocks. He has a 57m quid release clause next summer, so I imagine we would have to pay way more than that this summer.

Or some will miraculously disappear once the kids are back at school.

My guess would be x.com links aren't integrated with the forum software yet. Change to twitter.com and voila

 

[christened at st marks]

without KDB inc Palmer, we have 16 outfield in the squad we probably need at least 2

 

[Chi-town blues]

Chelsea still on grace period? How can they possibly pass ffp?
