It’s Quiet 20 - What is the Wirtz that could happen?

[richards30]

Preparing for someone to leave?

Nico Gonzalez or Valera please

 

[Bluearmy]

We are going to get a DM..surely...

Not by the looks of things. Questions need to be asked, IF this is it. We have lost the plot in the last 18 months.

If the powers that be think this is acceptable and how we need to proceed considering what has gone on in the last 3 months, then we’re in deep deep trouble…..

 

[BringBackSwales]

40m on Khusanov is not potenital Kayky signings

Arsenal paid 40 for Calafiori, and he is world class

So world class that he is often on the bench while young Lewis-Skelly plays?

reported at the time of his signing and again this week - based on appearances

Unfortunately I agree. No CDM means losing the play off and finishing outside the CL places

We aren't winning the CL regardless this season but we will finish top 5. Bernardo is looking good again and needs to play central alongside Kovacic in the big games.

Our attacking options look fantastic, I'm really excited with Marmoush signed and Bobb fit again.

We won't finish 6th or lower.

Don't underestimate how hard it is to win games when every half well-drilled team can run straight through you.

No midfielder in this window is the same arrogance that has put us in this situation to begin with

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

FFS will people stop whinging about this.

We’ll either be able to bring the right player(s) in in this window or we’ll wait til summer.

Negligent. FFS.

We don’t get a DM we miss out on top 4.

Could have major ramifications on the club and is well below the targets set this year.

The position is the most obvious and glaring weakness in the team. Has been for months. A back up has been needed for 2 years because Rodri has looked knackered playing every game.

So yeah… negligent.

 

[Coatigan]

Short? Countless times?

Go on then…..

Cannae. Countless means, they cannae be counted!

 

[Coatigan]

Preparing for someone to leave?

People do know that clubs in Europe have their own money for strengthening their own squads without relying on us to finance them, right?

Seems like every time someone signs someone, the expectation is they must be getting the money from selling to us. Juventus, Atalanta, Porto etc all existed before we were formed in 2008 you know!

 

[Coatigan]

Not replacing Vinnie Kompany in 19/20 sticks out in my head. We had the same issues as our midfield does but in defence.

Yes, I suppose not winning the league that one year in the last 7 counts as negl..

Mate, listen to yourself!

Bit rogue and off-topic but genuinely believe Delph leaving that same summer was just as important. Both very big dressing room personalities and we lost them both with only Fernandinho really stepping into that role and he wouldn't have been as vocal as those two.

Come on then, who would you sign?

Sick of the fucking entitled mentality of some on here who think you can just take other clubs best players half way through the fucking season.

You talk about arrogance? You're coming across as arrogant as fuck, expecting us to win everything, every season without having a downturn.

Have some belief and a little bit of patience FFS.

Worse teams than this City have won the CL.

The optimist in me keeps thinking we could still win the treble.

At the time of signing and I think it was Guillem Balague mentioned this week that it would be triggered by playing 5 more games

I would imagine the relationship between the club and Gundo make that almost irrelevant, he knows he is finished at the elite level, if he wants to continue playing he will go to Saudi/Turkey, if not I think he will join the backroom setup.

I thought the same thing until I saw that PSG game. Unless we sign a midfielder today with legs I really can't see it imo

Well that’s the first I have seen of it plus only not that long ago it was mentioned that he would either go to Turkey or Saudi or join are back room staff that he wouldn’t get another year deal

It's different being offered an extension or it being triggered automatically. I'm sure they would come to an amicable arrangement if we didn't want him to stay though.
