It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

We could ask Greggs to make a Riyad Pasta Pasty for him.

And maybe a Louis van Gaal voodoo doll

 

[Claytop]

JFE or LFS?

 

[cigar]

I'd rather sign Sandie Shaw

Id rather sign Martin Shaw..at least he's a professional

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

And maybe a Louis van Gaal voodoo doll

LVG loved him. He broke his leg, which set him back.

He came back under PEG who decided to bully him.

We should be all over getting Marcelo for a year as a free agent.

He was fatter than Shaw last season. He’s probably even bigger now.

Probably the best left back in the World for maybe 10 years though. Has won everything including the Champions League multiple times. No club to have to haggle with.

Even if he's a bit out of shape, he's a proper footballer. I'm sure he could do a job against the majority of teams.

Is there anyone of his class as easily available?

I know he's not a long term solution, but sometimes you take what you can get and it buys you time. We need that.

Some fans can't handle the rags having decent players, fair enough, we can disagree no issues :-)


He ran through us multiple times in that game, easily beating our press and making chances, he played really well when coming through the ranks at Southampton


I think he was treated really badly by Jose, he doesn't look the most athletic but he can move when needed, doubtful they would sell him to us anyway but given the lack of left backs he should be on any shortlist

My response was not about him being a Rag, it was about saying he was really good a few years ago as a basis for us signing him now.

By that logic we should make a 150m offer for Messi. ;-)

I think the only chance if us getting a left back is if Sir David Attenborough stumbles across one in his next jungle exploration. Left backs seem to be rarer than those pangolin creatures.

He hardly played last season. He’s finished.

Did Chelsea having 4 other LBs in their squad give them breathing room on the Cucurella price?

They didn't need the breathing room, they have paid £63m to ensure there was very little negotiation.

Chelsea in this market are showing classic signs of not knowing what the hell they want.

 

[Thenumber1blue]

There’s lots of support for Chilwell - personally I’d steer we’ll clear… doesn’t anyone recall Mahrez ripping him apart at the Etihad? I think he’s bang average and he’s a bit of a twat according to a friend who works at St George’s Park.

He is bang average and wouldn't get near our side

Cancelo requires quality minutes at left-back.

Especially so, when other clubs aren't yet privy to what our intentions would also be towards a Mendy acquittal?

When we agreed the sale of Zin, we essentially told clubs we need another body in that position.

If Zin had been told to wait patiently for his Arsenal deal to be concluded, we may have afforded ourselves some breathing room on both a replacement and price.

Think the club will be quitely regretting letting Zin go without a replacement wrapped up.

Nah it was van Gaal who mentioned his fitness.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28558745

I shall cede to your extensive rag knowledge.

Wish there was even links of us being interested in someone.

There is literally nothing mate? Gomez chat a couple of days ago and turns out not even for us! Lol

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Just imagine not signing a LB and selling Bernardo to Barca. This forum will melt down

As it should

 

[argyle]

It's why I don't think we'll be bringing anyone else in this window.

All of our targets this summer were well known and well publicised.

There's no links at all now.

Spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

We have a striker that will frighten the rest of the league again but no pace out wide to get to the by-line and get a cross in. Only 2 full backs in a season that looks like will be one of the hardest to win. Made more difficult by this fucking stupid decision to play a World Cup in the midst of the Premier League season.
5 subs allowed and we are going for a small squad. I don’t get the fucking logic.

 

[Manchester_City_Blue]

Chelsea are signing good players but I'm skeptical if it'll make a good squad. They don't seem to have a style of play in mind. Tuchel has a hell of a job to get them working together

 

[Stoned Rose]

That’s why I said his attacking stats are a concern. Last sentence. Didn’t you read?

So why would you want him playing a position and being asked to do things that blatantly aren’t his thing?
