It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Gabriel]

It is not a smaller squad than last year. It is exactly the same size.

But also younger, fitter, and hungrier.

Paulinho is going to Bayern from Fulham for a 60 million deal.

Would they have done a deal with us for 60 million?

Technically it's 1 member stronger.. but KDB is injured.

No, because we wouldn’t have offered it.

Depth till KDB gets back? (no idea if Phillips, Bobb or Gomez will be used tbh,)

To all ITK, is watching Sky transfer show until 11pm going to be worth it, or do I go to the pub as usual

 

[bell_mcfc]

Ederson/Ortega/Carson

Stones/Lewis/Akanji/Walker/Dias/Gvardiol/Ake

Rodri/Phillips/Nunes/Kovacic/KDB

Foden/Grealish/Bernado/Doku/Gomez/Bobb

Haaland/Alvarez

Very happy with that. Pep likes smaller squads.

Go to the pub and watch it on their telly!

Our bench for the Champions league final was:

Walker,
Foden,
Phillips,
Laporte,
Alvarez,
Gomez,
Mahrez,
Palmer,
Lewis,
Ortega,

For Fulham it will likely be:

Ake,
Gomez,
Lewis,
Phillips,
Nunes,
Doku,
Alvarez,
Bobb,
Ortega,

This is missing Stones and De Bruyne through injury but we have gone from 5 proven senior players to 1 (Alvarez).

Hopefully Doku and Nunes hit the ground running like Kovacic but it's naive to assume that is guaranteed. If they do then we are at about equivalent strength once Kevin is back.

 

[Gabriel]

No chance Bobb gets loaned out this season now.

Bobb should be the beneficiary of McAtee and Palmer leaving. He’ll be able to pick up minutes from the bench on either wing and maybe even some through the middle. Here’s hoping Haaland can get back to scoring first-half hat tricks again so as to give Bobb-a-Job…

Ah the music of my youth. Love it.

Carson Phillips Gomez Bobb Hmmmm ;-)

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Same goes for Phillips.

I'm sorry but you must be delusional if you think Pep is giving Phillips a single minute after how he has treated him so far in his City career.

Phillips, Bobb and Gomez will not reach 1000 minutes combined between then. They are non-entities when discussing squad strength.

Looking at that we are a creative midfielder who can play central/left short.

He’s probably a better fit to our system than Doku is, so he may get some more minutes whilst Pep retrains Doku.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Interesting…

Honestly if you want cheering up PLAY THIS VIDEO….it worked for me.

Never doubt Pep!

Goncalves would have been perfect.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Thought we may get the lad from Argentina

 

[TheThirdDeano]

what I wouldn’t give for a huge ‘fuck you’ signing to close the window!

Come on city, please?!
