It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Yup I can agree with that

Well yes, but who the hell is he? That's the question. Anyone know him?

Zin out cucurella in.
Jesus out haaland in with delap having the perfect player to learn from, almost identical skill sets.
Sterling out alvarez in plus more game time for palmer.
Ake out either mbete or callum doyle step up.
Ferna out phillips in.

The squad is stronger,
more balanced and path ways for youth players is again being shown. We have phenomenal youth especially the 2 young centre backs.

Doyle, mbete, mcatee, palmer and delap are all ready to be in and amongst the 1st team and lavia just behind them.

That is not a stronger squad.

I am beginning to think and accept Bernardo will leave this summer. There is too much noise from the Barcelona end, whem they get all obsessive like that, something usually there and most often ends up with them getting what they want.

It’s the Spanish press. That’s how they work. Look at the noise they made about Haaland. And Mbappe. LOL.

Do people really think before writing? Theo just signed a new contract and is not available. Also there is no mystery defender/player coming. Dont know why many insist on it.

Clubs often ask players to sign new contracts so they can get a bigger fee for him when selling.

I wonder who will be leaving us today? Another fascinating day ahead.

This is no way a stronger squad. Palmer has been injured for half a season and played a handful of games. He's not ready to replace two full internationals like Sterling or Jesus.

If both go, we're in serious danger of leaving ourselves undercooked again. The squad needs dynamism. Sterling and Jesus are arguably our two best pressers, and they have the ability to run on the outside of defenders. Having two inverted options on the right just doesn't cut it. Look at Villa on the final day of the season, it needed width.

Youth players might be talented, but they've also got to be ready, a Doyle or McAtee are not ready to plug the gap left by established internationals. It's totally unrealistic.

We also need depth. It's going to be the most physically demanding season yet. Five subs means everyone can play. It's not a time to rock a small squad.

That is not a stronger squad.

Cucurella is a proper left back, better than zinchenko.
Haaland is better than Jesus
Phillips is better than ferna (only due to age).
Sterling is a loss but alvarez, palmer, foden, mahrez and grealish are more than equal and we're ahead of raheem most of last season, so no loss. (Long term alvarez looks to be more potential than raheem)
Ake, hardly played anyway. I think he played leftback more than cb last season. Callum doyle is more than capable to be 5th choice cb. Again his potential is absolutely huge, the kids world class potential.

Where are we weaker in this squad? If we lose bernado I would agree but that isnt looking likely.

We havent got a small squad, and when we buy a D.M and a left back we are over our maximum squad size.
