It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Delphinho]

Good enough to start or play for us though mate? Or another CFG signing?

Currently better than Echeverri, but not quite Foden/Wirtz/Musiala level. He’s somewhere in between, hard to tell how much you could expect from him right off the bat, coming from the Croatian league. Definitely not a CFG signing, too good for that

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Lol. Okay, Ray, I hear you.
I never rated Otamendi when he was here, and I highly doubt 4.5 seasons later I would.

Anyway, Nicolás would get absolutely torn apart with the way we play. The highline would send him straight into the retirement home, if not his grave after the first 3 games!

Mangala is still playing too.

Let’s get the band back together.

This kid is very very good

Plays like a mini KDB.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Theo Hernandez rumoured to be available for €50m, worth getting?

He can’t defend.

Linked to a lot of big clubs so assume part of the squad if true…

We would probably concede at least 6 goals per match.

 

[RayCTID]

So is Kyle Walker and, irrespective of how good he has been previously, time has done him no favours either. Whilst I'm sure you wholeheartedly believe your statements re: Otamendi, it doesn't make him a realistic option for us.

Still would add a bit of short term cover while we are waiting for the injuries to the rest of our defenders to subside. But of course he isn't available either to provide that depth

 

[RayCTID]

Yes, yes we do. Aké and Stones miss multiple games every season; Walker isn't good enough anymore and Lewis gets bullied.

Good luck in bringing in that type of defender at this stage of the season

would anyone consider charles de ketelaere as a replacement for kdb

 

[RayCTID]

And he faces teams like Farense, Arouca, Estoril, Boavista and Estrela da Amadora (yes, those are actual teams, not items from a restautant menu)

And Sporting Lisbon and Porto.

Was wondering when we would go for players from Dinamo Zagreb. The amount of talent they've produced over the years, was wondering when City would look there. Especially midfield talent

Whether we can is completely different from us needing to. There is a distinct need.

There isn't. More of the Rodri type.

We need a CFG club in Croatia with an exceptional academy!

 

[ScottSinclair]

Bruno G is wank. Same with Van Der Ven. Wirtz definetely and to some extent Hakimi would add something to the current squad. Otamendi is still performing although we can't expect him to be a consistent performer if he did rejoin but would provide defensive cover to the current players.

One of the most unhinged posts I have ever seen on here

 

[Ajm1985]

There isn't. More of the Rodri type.

So in your mind, 2 injury prone CBs - whose absence has probably helped lead to the injuries to 2 other CBs - a RB who is past it and 1 who is undersized/not physical enough for the role is good enough? For the rest of the season?

A midfielder is obviously in need but that doesn't mean a defender isn't also a need.

This was him in the CL this season

Drives with the ball like Kova, but has Modric passing looks talented. He's more Modric than Kev

would anyone consider charles de ketelaere as a replacement for kdb

As a backup to KDB's replacement, I absolutely would. But as KDB's replacement? Never. The squad quality is already too diluted, and we need to start bringing in top-shelf players—generational talents.

Charles is a fantastic player. He’s been on our radar for four, if not five, seasons since his time at Brugge. I like Charles, and I’d sign him, but not as the replacement for a generational, legendary player like KDB. For that, I want the absolute best. Alongside that, I would sign Charles too. He’s a forward who can play in multiple positions.

I wouldn’t consider him a replacement for my 10 year old Y-fronts.

Ffs.
