It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Dialog]

We're objectively weaker. To argue that is just being overly optimistic.

We are weaker. It is a fact. Wait and see some argue it!

We are weaker. It is a fact. Wait and see some argue it!

For more than past six year we are keep getting weaker each year, it's mysterious on how we still able to keep winning despite getting weaker.

 

[bluemoon32]

Do you think anything will happen re incomings Tolmie, or are we done?

Done ?
I hadn't realised we'd started ha

 

[TonyM]

I am weaker.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

We have probably just had the latest interim bill from our lawyers together with an updated estimate to conclude the 115 case including provision for an appeal. This has resulted in the transfer kitty being diverted accordingly.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

True mate but with the season starting and the players we were rumored to be wanting/the most interested in all having release clauses then it’s interesting that we haven’t gone for any early doors?

Perhaps the rumours were wrong ?

 

[doobyedoobye]

The only obvious gap we actually have is reserve striker .. That's it

 

[Paul1970]

How are we weaker than this time last year ? Minus Alvarez ,plus KDB , Savinho.

No cover for Rodri makes us weakee as if means we have to hope he stays injury free again also kdb and Bernardo are another year Older and now to add to that we have lost our back up striker and now we need to find 15-20 goals a season whilst hoping to god Haaland Doesn’t get injured . If you don’t see that as us being weakened then fair pkay and i respect your opinion but from where I stand we are definitely weaker and i have a feeling today will show .

What the hell are you talking about?

City players who can play DM:
Rodri
Kovacic
Akanji
Stones
Bernardo
Nunes
Rico
Nico

They can't play as good as him but they can all play there as a double pivot and you're not going to find anyone that can play like him.. he's the best in the world. That's like trying to find a backup striker for Haaland who can score 60 goals a season.. not happening!

We had less cover for Rodri last year, this year we have more wingers so have the option of playing Kovacic with Bernardo ( 30 hardly old), KDB is a year older but can be used less because we have Foden that can play centrally.
I agree we could do with back up for Haaland but not sure who we could get a striker that’s good enough, and it’s not as if Pep is new to the false 9 if needed.
Not saying we are stronger but hardly weaker if at all.

 

[doobyedoobye]

I think we can only be considered weaker if we do not recruit cover for Haaland

 

[xmusampa]

It’s quiet

It’s oh so quiet ……….

Last season we could go another treble if KDB and Foden chances goes through against Madrid at Home, but small margin of error is pain in the ass and we lost the game on penalty.

This season we still have chance going for another treble if that margin of error can be overcome.

I just posted something similar. Our actions are maybe tied to the charges but not in the way some are saying. Not because we fear being found guilty but as some type of agreement with the Prem in clearing us...

You don't have KC's being paid fortunes to come up with that sort of rubbish.

Why would we agree to a penalty regarding the signing of players in the event the PL clear us? Makes absolutely no sense.

 

[Kippaxpete]

Ivan Toney is out for todays game for transfer reasons.

Please God no!

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

We had less cover for Rodri last year

One other thing no one ever mentions is Rodri got a Red and we lost 3 games in a row which put huge pressure on us for the season and Pep had to play him for more games down the stretch.

If we had Rodri for those games that he missed from the Red Card.. we might have had more of a buffer.. because as a team we didn't play bad in those games.. just the counters hurt us.

 

[Phil1]

Nah he’s a villa fan

Nah, he’s not.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Zola did ok. One of the best performances I ever saw was Zola, a genuinely brilliant player..

There ain’t been many though, that was kinda my point, for some reason or another they stay in Serie A for the most part

 

[Centurions]

Bro, I hope you're not referring to me with that shit...just sayin'...

If the cap fits...
