It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

How come you can’t see that City are shutting up shop. Do you have eyes?

As in closing down? That's serious stuff.

Could this affect the alvarez deal?

samu omorodion I've a feeling he could be a fit for us. Young, decent price tag and Spanish a no risk transfer.

Samu would fit the bill for a second choice striker to Haaland - similar profiles too.

It won't happen, and he's certainly not great, but someone like Nketiah for 25M could be a shrewd signing. A lot of pace, works hard, etc. Would replace a lot of what we're losing in Alvarez.

might as well re-sign jesus if we considered buying anyone from arsenal of that level.

Nketiah, goals and assists record are piss poor, runs a lot and strong but his return for a forward is awful

I can’t see nketiah being good enough for the best team in the world

Sam guessing again I take it, when we know Pep mixes it up and will use the versitility of all those where and when he wants

Nope he is there major signing they will just not buy Gallagher

On what grounds would rival fans be saying that we are weaker? All I have heard are questions about how we got so much money for a second string striker and how we are cheating by signing Savinho. Other than being pissed off about how good Oscar Bobb is, I have not heard anyone say anything negative (excluding cheating bastards 115, of course).

I don't understand why people are shocked at the Alvarez fee. He has won the lot, played a shit load of football and contributed in goals and assists. When the rags have paid what they did for Sancho and Anthony I think it's good value for Atletico.

yep i have eyes and they are open enough to see that this either a wind up in which case well played and if it isnt then i simply dont have the crayons.

Because rival fans have no interest in anything other than questioning our integrity. They have no interest in the player, nor his achievements, nor his quality. I think it is a good deal all round.

The only reason to be shocked is when you see Solanke going to Spuds for £65M you might think we’ve been had…….

Why sid the Omorodin deal 'collapse'?

Why sid the Omorodin deal 'collapse'?

Wouldn't be surprised if he realised he'd be 9th choice and farmed out year on year. Not everyone wants that.

 

[waspish]

Why sid the Omorodin deal 'collapse'?

No locker room left

 

[mancboy]

Why sid the Omorodin deal 'collapse'?

couldnt afford to build a new stand to house the players

 

[Kippaxpete]

Not as ridiculous as people floating the idea of Ivan Toney.

All that proves is that the two are competing in the ridiculousness stakes. Doesn't make either a good choice.

Pink oboe more like!

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Hope you’re right, but he’s Sheffield Utd level for me. Be honest, if it was a choice and we were a goal down at Liverpool would you want McAtee coming on or someone like Guimaraes, Olmo level?

You’re comparing a young player with potential to regular top level first teamers. Right now Mcatee is potential and we should judging him when he gets regular minutes in our team.

If he was Sheffield United level he wouldn’t be at city.

Has no one mentioned Joselu yet?
