It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[loio]

I think Chelsea/Boehly personally is getting a bit desperate, they need a defence ASAP.. Hes never done things like this before, its stressful in the footie world and all the people has gone (he sacked em..) and hes probably sitting a room with the head scout and the analysts with a list of targets from the old regime and sweating lol.

Man has appointed himself as interim Sports Director and discovering its a very tough job if you want to be at this level.

we`ve extended with Mbete till 2027..he`s a left-footed CB....at some point we should give the youth a chance...Ake might be tempted if Tuchel plays with 3 CB`s and it will improve his WC-chances....

Ake is a big injury concern. Why the flapping? End of last season when we had no CB who played in defence? Where was our back up centre half?

The player has improved and he seems a decent sort but his role in the squad is to push the starters and be available when said players are injured.

His injuries last season won’t stop existing next season. Take the money and find a suitable replacement.

Laporte, stones and Dias stay then I would not be worried. It was a freak occurrence last season.

Ake never had one injury before he came to city lmao. Also pretty sure his injuries last season were contact injuries so can’t really be helped

Don't forget we are talking about our 4th choice CB, at some point we've got to trust our academy. Luke Mbete and Callum Doyle, the latter especially, could/should be given a chance if Ake goes.

could also test arsenal with a saliba offer

Or be greedy and match the Kounde buyout clause, which is what, about 50 odd, 60M.

There was rumours of us interested in De ligt

Rags want his brother Vita...

I don’t care if he was injured or not before he joined although I do recall he was out at the end of Bournemouth’s season prior to city purchasing him.

Last season he was out when the squad needed him. He can’t be relied upon. Take the money and reinvest. Fans have fears about players leaving, I trust the boss to make the right call and also to recruit a decent replacement.

I am glad we are finally changing the squad. Some players need a fresh challenge.

Harwood-Bellis could be the 4th choice CB if Ake goes. He won’t be, but I see no reason why not.

Hes England u21 captain and now had 2 years of mans football at Anderlect, Stoke and Blackburn under his belt. Had couple years training under Pep already so knows the Pep style and what’s expected.

Wouldn’t be the worst option In my view.

 

[RayCTID]

Even with Mbete signing his contract it is bit risky with putting pressure him. Harwood-Bellis is not a bad option but again he could do with another loan.

If Ake does go, I hope we bring in an experienced, older player who won't mind sitting on the bench most of the time but will be dependable when called upon. Can also support the youth players being integrated into the team.
