It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Thank you Stan.
I would offer you some filet mignon and foie gras but I’ve eaten it all.

I’ve seen that episode of black adder, you’re welcome to it ;-)

We won 100 points with Mangala as 4th CB (in fact effectively 3rd CB with vinnie's injury for half a season). the 4th choice CB does not need to be a 100 million player, honestly.

Nathan Aké is a more than capable 4th choice. I agree he does not need to be 100m but he definitely does not need to be Ben Mee hahah I'm taking Luke Mbete over him. He cannot play out the back, he's a traditional type of defender, wouldn't suit us.

Moss Side baths? Pfft.

When you end up floating about in Withington baths that’s when you really know you’re a tramp.

;)

Always thought Radcliffe baths was as low as it could get…

I’ll raise you Harpurhey baths in the 70’s pal!

Firstly, I'm far from 'upset'. Secondly, it was just a bit of gallows humour. Apologies if it offended you (and, no, I'm not being sarcastic).

I think you comparing Salah to Peter Sutcliffe is also unfair …………………………………
on Peter Sutcliffe

Have Victoria baths ever reopened ? Must be 40 years since I’ve been there.

right tbh I don't disagree the point I was trying to make is I think a 10-20m midtable PL center back could do just fine at CB for us. someone like tosin or ben godfrey or something. If we get a 50m+ offer for Ake i'll opt for a cheaper 4th CB and improve elsewhere.

Nathan Ake being *more* than capable is kind of the thing here :)

Ake not so much with van Gaal. Pau Torres will still need regular games. He is part of Spain's national side and that is down to Torres him being a regular with Villareal.

All 3 will be at the World Cup, barring injury, whatever their playing time is.

Now I'd take that, if Tosin came back it would be great. It's just you have to he so precise with the profiles with regards to what you want. Old times you would definitely snatch a player of that level of experience from the market because it would help re; Ben Mee.
