It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Joško Gvardiol is a good option to replace Ake.

Ortega basically saying he's taking the #1 spot. Fair enough

As the kids say these days - Mentality Monster!

I've seen him play exactly zero times but love the attitude. Eddy could use a legitimate challenger.

No idea how people can watch Pep football for six years and still think that each player must be confined to one "true" position. Foden is a winger. Grealish is a winger. They're both also midfielders. That versatility has, time and time again, been mentioned as a key feature which attracts Pep to a player, so why don't we value that same quality as he does? Foden, Grealish, Mahrez are all "true" wingers, as far as I'm concerned. As is Palmer. Bernardo can chip in there too, as can Alvarez. The only flaw is that they're all similar in their preference of coming inside, lack of lightning pace, lack of preference for playing high-and-wide. But the idea that we have a great dearth of wingers is just silly.

Also costs 70-80m :/

Dailymail says that Jules Kounde link is heating up also. Any info about that one? He would be superb for ake's spot.

Nope, he was an attacking mid

Bollocks. That is now. After moving to a central midfield role for Ukraine and LB for City.

Look how many appearances he has out wide: 30. Look how many in AM: 12.

He may have considered himself a number 10 but most of his senior appearances up until 2017 were on the wings.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Nope i haven't. It wouldn't of been easy bringing Jack in this season with the World Cup either

Have*

It would have been the same. He had a buy out clause.

Where’s that link? Haven’t seen it from any good sources, plus Barca seems to be his destination.

Also would cost 60m

Manchester City to 'enter race' for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde

City boss Pep Guardiola is an admirer of Kounde and would be tempted to move for the 23-year-old according to Mundo Deportivo. Chelsea and Barcelona have also been long-term suitors.

Just this today's stuff. I would seriously doubt Barca can take him with that cost. Chelsea is not going to fight for him if they take Ake. But who knows, i guess dailymail is full on jokes, i know :D but still would be decent shout to fill the role. Expensive tho.
