It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

I don't think we expected Garcia to break through though, since we didn't rate him nearly as high as we rate Palmer/McAtee/Delap until he was already suddenly in the first team

He wasnt even rated higher than Harwood-Bellis in the youth team, i think he just got the system quicker when they both trained with the first team.

i dont know why you're conveniently ignoring the fact we got grealish last summer who seemingly replaced nobody.

Exactly for that reason. We got him last summer. He's not replacing anyone, he's already here. As is Palmer. Kicking up a few notches and making a meaningful contribution would be good though. Remember that last year everyone billed him as KDBs future successor, or some claimed Bernardo's future replacement.

Do we think this could be City related?

 

[not my fault!]

Do we think this could be City related?

I think a contract extension rather than new signing if it is City related.

Don't think there'd be much game time for him now that we've got Haaland

 

[leo_city]

It's either Haaland getting number 9 or Phillips coming imo.

Dickov to Chelsea confirmed

 

[Cobwebcat]

I recall before he went to Chelsea some stats rating thing identified him as the ideal striker for City!

Correct

But you DID mention aguero who left last summer and wasn't replaced... seemingly for you, he's relevant in the whole "x replaces Y" thing, which is why you've ignored that we signed haaland. sorry I just think you're being inconsistent here.

More likely;
United will STILL be shite no matter who they bring in.
