It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Although he looks a talent, it’s a huge step up not only to travel to England and live in a different country, but also to perform straight away in the premier league? I imagine his first season will be about adapting to England, pep etc

Jesus did it and was arguably better in his first 18 months with the club

going back to Inter on loan lol

Just hope Inter's owners don't pull the plug on it.

I agree that Palmer is ready. He looks quality.

At some point we need to give him a proper chance and allow him to start more games. Similar to foden when he broke through

It is just finding the correct player to replace both Sterling and Jesus is the problem.

We will wait a season like we usually do.

I may get lynched for saying it but Neymar may not be the bad egg in the dressing room people make out. He’s obviously liked by all his PSG teammates, he was at Barca too and in the Brazilian squad as well.

Reminds me of Pogba (known to be positively vocal in the dressing room and also helps with young players) where it’s become the norm to see them as knobheads and poison in the squad because of preconceived opinions you have about them rather than any facts.

Personally, I’d be all over Neymar given the chance but doubt it’ll happen but both player and Pep have given public praise about one another in the past.

We might but probably we’ll still win the league like we usually do , so all good

So as it stands:

Incoming

1. We are close to Cucurella to being done
2. Phillips still a target but nothing concrete at present

Outgoing:

1. Banzu - gone for £15m with a buyback clause
2. Jesus very very likely(almost certain) - going to Arsenal for anywhere between 35m - 50m depending on what/who you believe
3. Sterling - could well be going to Chelski for around £50m
4. Bernardo - rumours that he could go to Barca - but nothing at all concrete at present. If we let him go for a cheap price to that lot after the way that league and clubhave behaved towards us we are proving we are a push over...needs to be priced at at least 80m-90m plus...he has 3 years left
5. Zinchenko - be gutted to lose him but I could understand why for him.

For me if that happens even with the incomings of Haaland and Alvarez we are light.

I have no doubt that Haaland will be a success - but Alvarez is an unknown. The loss of Bernardo (if it were to happen) means we would need a creative wide player.

Despite his numbers, Mahrez is unpredictable and unreliable, Grealish was very average and there is no guarantee he improves (and to get close to Bernardo, Sterling and Jesus he needs to improve hugely)

People will point to Palmer - yes he looks a huge talent but he is a kid and its a big ask.

I cant for the life of me think that if Bernardo and the others go who we could go for despite what TH has said about having 200m and that we will go big....

Neymar - not a chance Id have him anywhere near this team ---- I think he is a bad egg ad would upset the dressing room dynamics. I dont think he works hard enough (anywhere near) for a pep team.

Felix - TH has said its not him as this was linked to Bernardo going to Athletico and he doesnt want to do that.

Vinicisus Jnr - cannt see him wanting out of Madrid

Salah - not a chance the scousers would sell him to us- they would rather lose him on a free to a madrid/barca next year

FDJ - completely different to Bernardo Silva - pretty sure IF he goes anywhere he goes to the rags and He is not a replacement

I cannot think of anyone it is.

Losing Bernardo would leave a huge hole in the squad

Plus Fernandhino gone.
