It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

We won’t let go off Zin or Ake without getting a replacement. That’s isn’t how city do business and it won’t change anytime soon I don’t know why everyone panicking. Maybe because of last year when we didn’t go for a striker after Kane deal fell through but that was different, we had three choices either get a mediocre one, overpriced one because everyone knew we were desperate or wait for Haaland and I think we made the right choice there. You all need to put more trust in Pep and the people that have run the club so well for the last few years.

I get what you are trying to say but it is how City have done business - they did it with Kompany & with Aguero - and you even state that they are happy to wait to get the right replacement (Dias & Haaland). For the people concerned at hearing we won't replace some players, the main issue is the fact that Pep runs with a small squad anyway and next season has a heavy schedule. Not replacing players for a year or so may be more risky than usual. Which is why I'm glad that the MEN states they would replace Ake if he went

Surely Phillips is more likely to move back given that he has played at CD before

I didn't think he'd played there tbh, and having checked he played there a bit in the championship and has played 2 out of his last 50 games as a centre back.

So I wouldn't say his past would be a major factor. Rodri's height suits the position better generally, but he'd help out on setpieces as well anyway. I'd just prefer any new players coming into our system playing in their most regular position to help them get used to it though. Some find it difficult enough adapting anyway.

Sure it’s been said but it’s a fucking huge deal.
Say tolm is told some top notch breaking news that no one has a whiff of. He’s told to keep it secret but then maybe he’ll tell close friends. Who doesn’t?
But then say one of those people passes it on to a very well known journalist and that news is spread, suddenly everyone knows what only a few people should have been privy to. Marketing is fucked, announcements are fucked, the selling club could be fucked if they haven’t got a replacement lined up yet, buying club could risk players being furious about not being told yet, player in question could be annoyed because they’re hounded about it in public.
People lose jobs over leaks. It’s a huge deal.

If you share private and confidential information then it's your head on the block should it get into the public domain.

Tolmie has been a bit foolish and has then strung the forum along to try and make a point to the one or two lurkers who have leaked private information he shared. If you don't want things to get out don't share them.

I enjoy Tolmie's posts on here and the drama that follows, and hope he continues to post. But I think quite rightly he's apologised for stringing everyone else along last night when his naivety (I would say stupidity Tolmie) has caused the issue.

Luckily I can fall asleep standing up so no harm done.

I tend to agree about his height but Pep seems quite happy playing shorties at centre back.
I never watched Leeds in the championship but reports suggest Phillips did very well when he played there. He’s not tall but he’s certainly big and strong.

Too mistake prone for a team chasing titles

Absolute nonsense.
He has won four Premier League titles in four and a half seasons, plus various cups.
In fact the only time we didn’t win the league during his time at City was the season when he was missing with injury and his absence cost us dear
