It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[TonyM]

If we are going to sign someone I'd think it would have to be ...
1. An attacking player
2. Not a key player for another team (unless they have already brought someone in as a replacement)
3. Willing to accept not being in our top XI (willing to fight)

No idea who. Maybe someone from a lower profile league, e.g. South America, MSL, Asia, etc?

Probably no one.

Is that calculated or just your feeling? Got any link?

In my book including Nunes and Palmer we have a net spend of about £39m (€46m).
We spent more than we cashed in.

Didn’t factor in Nunes yet. Your correct.

 

[BongoBlue]

What's the betting that we'll hear of a surprise signing tomorrow, like a Mongolian Messi or an Inuit Iniesta or a Neanderthal Neymar or something??

How about a Fijian Felix?

Or an Aussie Agbonlahor...OK never mind.

OK I'll shut up now.

(I do like Inuit Iniesta though, I must say...:) Kudos Tony.)

If it was start of August I would agree mate, but just cannot see us doing so without getting absolutely turned over now.

To be honest, is there really any quality on the market at the moment? Quality that is clearly going to improve our first XI?

I am unsure.

I also have a bit of a theory that the people that run the show at City are trying to portray the club in a different way with all this net spend stuff. A part of me thinks we are doing it to start looking "better" in the eyes of the PL and UEFA to take away the constant legal battles and media releases having to defend the club.

Could be wrong, most likely am, but I do find it interesting how we keep hearing about net spend from the club. Even Pep has spoke about in a press conference recently if I recall.

It’s all about be self sustaining business like sheik Mansour said at the start of the purchase.

If the rumours are true, very sad to see Tommy go. More so than Cole, to be honest.

 

[JDV]

Anyone think Amrabat is worth a shout to give Rodri some rest throughout the season?

They should both play together as well so there would be plenty of minutes available.

 

[JDV]

If the rumours are true, very sad to see Tommy go. More so than Cole, to be honest.

I'm happy for him though as he'll get to do what he loves which is to play football and he'll hopefully get plenty of minutes with the move.

Sign Jeremie Frimpong!

 

[Great Kompany]

Good Morning Blues!
Are we signing a winger maybe today?

Palmer needs replacing for the Super Cup we have to play next year!

 

[oldius]

Yesterday's winning team in training featured Doku, McAtee, Gomez and Bobb. I hope that we have decided that is the solution for the wide areas.
The team also included Carson, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Walker and Erling.

Big Mac = McTominay
We’re doomed I tell ya

Bic Mac - Ronald McDonald - Ronaldo - it’s happening.

Fuck off you ****

Feels like you failed the assignment of not being a dickhead

Palmer not getting replaced and McAtee possibly still going on loan. Interesting.

Sounds like a pretty shitty end to a weird summer.

Bad move if true as losing Palmer and Mcatee weakens the actual squad further? We should at least keep Mcatee if we arent replacing Palmer!

 

[richards30]

The players in has come good but its certainly not been organised and not replacing Palmer even though we chased Paqueta and Eze just seems ridiculous for a team chasing history and who get absolutely no rest and KDB out for near enough the whole season.

 

[Militantxyz]

Imagine buying a 60mil winger and people complaining you didn't find a replacement for a guy who played minimal minutes and you still have 3 RWs left.

 

[Kompany Car]

The Cafe aren’t taking it well. Apparently the Rags should have signed Nunes and there’s obviously loads of dodgy deals going on. Not only are they failing on all levels but the paranoia is setting in and it’s very funny.

Yes, such a shit summer. Breaking nearly even on net spend. Best young Cb on the planet for peas, Kovacic, Croatian captain with more UCL's than us btw, Doku who by the way will be a superstar here, and now Mateus Nunes, whom i believe has been named by the greatest manager of all time, as The best in the world.

We lost people over 32 years of age, with the only non replaceable player being Gundogan.

TO recap. Laporte out, Gvardiol in. Gundogan out, Kovacic in. Mahrez out, Doku in. Palmer out, Nunes in.

Explain to me, how this is shitty and weird?
