It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Keeper!]

Bit left field but keep Sterling for a year and see how him combines with Haaland ?

Still think we should sell and recoup some cash/wages, he clearly is not going to resign.

By the way, And I know it pissed people off when I suggested him the other day, but if (and I pray he doesn't) Bernardo leaves, maybe then milinkovic-savic becomes an interesting option?

Teams like Barca and Madrid will always find ways to evade financial ruin. They're sporting institutions in Spain, and they use surreptitious methods, oftentimes involving national banks, to ease the burden. It's why the hypocrisy of our club being state-funded is rank, and why a Super League is an inevitability at this stage.

Correct and this 25 years % money up front now I bet in 2/3 years if they still in trouble that they’ll do it again or they’ll be some loop hole these arrogant clubs will find!

To replace someone like Bernardo, mainly his quality in small spaces and under pressure, the only one I’d take from Serie A is Barella.

but surely that depends on raz wanting to stay and his attitude for the new season?

It’s very much in his hands, I’ve got no idea how it’ll play out.

 

[bell_mcfc]

but if bernardo goes for say £80m & gabby for £50m?

Id rather keep Bernardo, wouldn't you?

Not just because he's quite simply incredible and is an engine for us, but then we need to buy another cm as well.

Can’t sell him like a second hand sofa either if he wants to wait out a year.

Also a fantastic option. If we get 100m or more I think there's a lot of good options out there. They won't be as good as Bernardo but who is

If we really wanted Frenkie we'd have pushed harder and got it done already imo, swap or not. The lad clearly wants CL football and would leave for us than the rags.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Quality costs, potential even more so.

This lad has far more natural talent than Grealish for me, and we know how much that cost us.

I agree that he's class. Gets me that a team can pick up Gabby for only 50m this window. Thats a bargain.
