It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Stefan Savic is the logical Ake replacement.

Am sure Jack would love to be teammates with him…….. ;-)

Whichever way you look at it, we would have lost 4 players in Aguero Torres Gabi and Raz. And replaced them with 2 in Haaland and Alvarez. Palmer is already here. Sure the two of them can maybe cover for 3. But not for 4 for me, not Raheem's numbers too. Hence I fully expect another attacking player to arrive if he is sold. Given there will be a foreign slot squad space too.

We gonna act like grealish doesn't exist now?

Aguero hasn't really been a proper squad player since the 19/20 season.....so you could even argue that Foden wasn't even really part of the squad then

For our front three options

17/18: Aguero, Sterling, Sane, Bernardo, Jesus*(Jan signing)

18/19: Aguero, Sterling, Bernardo(RW), Mahrez, Sane, Jesus

19/20: Aguero, Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus, Foden*(bit part player)

20/21: Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez, Foden, Ferran, Aguero*(injured)

21/22: Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish, Ferran*(left in Jan)

22/23: Haaland, Grealish, Foden, Mahrez, Alvarez, Palmer*

We have always fluctuated between 5 or 6 players, usually 5, to operate the front three positions, which we currently have excluding Palmer

And looking at the above list maybe it was time that we refreshed the front line

Not at all, they're swimming in club trained players.

They have 9 in the squad, 6 or 7 of which seem like they'll definitely be in next season's squad -

Loftus-Cheek
Chalobah
Mount
James
Gallagher
Broja
Gilmour
Ampadu
Anjorin

and 3 association trained -

Barkley
Chilwell
Bettinelli

Interestingly as an aside, I think very few of those have been out on loan, particularly in their first 2-3 years at the club. Something we seem to be changing recently, where we previously just sent players out and lost the chance for them to count as as club trained should they get into that position.

Koulibaly would be a good option 1 year left on his deal, 31 years of age been
priced at 45 mil, But would we deal with Napoli.

Would he accept being 4th choice?

hasn't been able to grab the trophy we want the most

‘WE’? Not for me. It would be great to win it, but PL is always the priority for me. Perhaps you mean the ‘club owners’ rather than we supporters

Sorry but that is the trophy WE, as in Man City, want to win the most

We have 6 Prem titles in 11 years, can't see how the Champions League isn't THE trophy given its significance in European football and the honour it holds

 

[razman]

Yeah Ben Mee incoming on a free

Ya had mentioned that previously.

It’s a trophy like all offers we want to win but the premier league is ALWAYS the priority going into the season!!

It would be worth it just to be able to sing the song… ;)

If anyone sings that near me I will physically harm them.

Yes, plenty there but the quality really isn't. How many of them would you bring to us, even as a squad player?
I'd only take Reece James.

Stefan Savic is the logical Ake replacement.

Jack Grealish agrees
