It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Kompany Car]

If Ake does go how about Jason Denayer as 4th choice CB. Contract up at Lyon and is still only 27.

Said that earlier in the thread but opinions on how good he is seem to be varied. As a fourth choice/back up you're not gonna get much better who are willing to sit on the bench and he's on a free.

----------------------Ederson / Ortega / Carson
Walker------Stones / Mbete*------Dias / Laporte------Cancelo / Cucurella
----------------------------Rodri / Phillips
----------Bernardo / Gundogan---------De Bruyne / Mcatee*
Mahrez / Palmer*----------Haaland / Alvarez*-------------Foden / Grealish


It would be crazy to lose Ake, Zinchenko, Sterling and Jesus and not bring in at least 2 players.

We'd be down to a squad of 19 outfielders with question marks* over 4 (yes Alvarez isn't a guarantee).


Does the team below get through every round of the League Cup and FA Cup?
----------------Ortega
Stones----Mbete----Laporte---Cucurella
----------------Phillips
--------Gundogan----Mcatee
Palmer---------Alvarez---------Grealish


I don't think it does.


Plus 1 injury to the back 4 and we're playing 2 starting XI defenders in the games we should be rotating.

If we're going down the not really good enough but will do to share 4th spot with THB or Mbete then my £10 would be to go for Ben Mee.

THB is signing for Burnley on loan.

That is not a bad suggestion a free transfer and wouldn't demand too much wages; wouldn't haven't any issues registering Mee either.

I can be as negative as anyone, and strongly believe that if something can go wrong it will, but you've summed it up perfectly.

Seems that some people are only happy when they have something to worry or complain about.

Really need to keep a sense of perspective.

like you I can get to worrying pretty good myself, but I honestly don't feel that now is that time...coming off a 4th title in 5 years, signing Haaland, etc. etc....now is the time to bask in it a bit, at least for me, lol,,,I get that's its conversational and all that, but it seems the more some of us say don't worry, Txiki, Pep and the boys have got it covered the more the panic and anxiety level rises over relatively minor issues...

More money in the pot!

SPOT ON
we have strengthened in the parts we have needed for a couple of years now if truth be told,
the lack of strikers have been a main issue in BIG games and Champions League, yes pep has worked wonders on the false 9 and the rotation in that format, but having strikers is something else and the option to keep others guessing

the BIG thing for city and pep in the new season is having KDB to feed the strikers and not the other way round
yes, Kevin is a world-class player and can play in all sorts of roles, BUT just having him back to feed will scare the rest to the bones

KDB playing off the back of Haaland is a fantastic prospect and, yes, sure to be unsettling for any opponent...

Not a panicking post by any means because for me it makes sense to get money for players who either 1. want to leave or 2. aren’t going to get a chance here but it strikes me as odd we’re doing it all in the same window.

Either we’re just boosting the pot because why not? or we’re boosting it for some monstrous move.

I hope it’s the latter, this forum is more fun when that’s the case! ;)
