It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Jack wouldn't of wanted to risk a place in England's national team if he made his move this season. Sterling hasn't stuck around

Grealish doesn’t give a shit about much in life. He’d have moved.

Please could you use could and should have.

Why would we use three at the back more next season? We've had Pep for how many years now and he's shown basically no interest in doing so.

You started watching City recently?

Happy if we get Cucurella for Zinch to be back up.

Dont agree on the need to replace Sterling with Jesus also leaving as well: Mahrez, Palmer, Grealish. all very similar players (with differing levels of quality)...Bernardo and Foden also very similar

I think Zinch will go

I really don't think that we paid £100m for Pep to use Grealish as a 'second string' player. I would think (barring injury etc) Pep will use him more often in the PL next session than Bernardo.

I also think that Alvarez is likely play a greater part than Mahrez in the PL.

An interesting season ahead for sure!

Except that Bernardo is twice the player Grealish is at present...

Price tag should mean nothing

Yeah, just yesterday actually, and even I know Pep isn't going to play three at the back next season.

I am not totally against bringing an extra player however we still have 3 quality players at CB and there isn't a desperate need for a replacement. The problem is convincing a player with real quality to join us this season.

Yeah true. No need is there, last year we had 4 quality CBs and ended up with Fernandinho stepping in. Let’s learn from our mistakes

Losing 4 centre backs at the same time was a freakish turn of events. It would be the same if we lose both keepers at the same time and have to rely on Scott Carson or an in experienced kid for a long period of time.

Couple of years ago a rodri Fernandinho cb partnership too. Doesn’t have to be a world beater, but half decent cover who can help to step in. Unlike defensive midfielders

But again the hardest part is finding one. I wouldn't be shocked if after we have signed Cucarella (or alternative) we are done. I am not insinutating that we aren't looking for one.

Yes but if you start with 3 centre back we only need to lose 2 to be left with one. Or if we lose one centre back we are lrft with 2 playing every game.Why not have 4 when we have room in the squad for 4.
