It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I wonder if this may make it even harder to get Cucurella if Brighton know we now only have 2 fullbacks at the club.

I've been saying this puts us in a bad spot negotiating wise, but it also makes me more comfortable in that they probably know what it will take to get him and are willing to pay it.

We can manage with 2. John Stones can play RB.

Yeah maybe. If I heard Walker was off tomorrow too I think I’d just shrug my shoulders and think Pep has a 3 5 2 system in mind. I’m lost!

Haha yeah with Haaland moving to Centre Half :-)

SUMMARY: For any visitors who look in on this thread and want a quick update but no more…

1 Out

Zinchenko to Arsenal

2 In

Cucurella to CITY
Full Back to CITY**

God it was hot today not looking forward to the same again tomorrow. Those that could drag themselves to their keyboards were still talking about the same two issues. Is Neymar coming or not being the first. The few reports that were covering this story seemed to have back-tracked somewhat saying City pulled out due to wage demands while others said it was never on in the first place.

Second topic was the running issue of full backs mentioned below. City were linked with a new name Mr Sosa from Stuttgart who is available for around £20Million so talk was would we buy both him and Cucurella if Zin left or still go with three full backs. Talking of Zin he is still our player but is reportedly negotiating personal terms with Arsenal. City and the Gunners having agreed a fee of £30 million. Discussions were concerned with how good a player Zin is and, if he went, how much we would miss him. The latest info is from Ornstein, a really good source for Arsenal, and is the very next post.

**Fairly even split as to if City will start the season with 3 specialist full backs or 4 but most reports suggest Cucurella is a Mendy replacement and Zinchenko will also be replaced if he leaves. No new Cucurella news again today with posters speculating what the continued delay might be.

I’ll post one of these most evenings around this time on this thread

You are welcome.

Why are you on here every night saying we are signing 2 full backs . You’re the only person saying this lmao

 

[Mr-Mertle]

For anyone doing the math that's £208million in base fees for City in the calendar year.

So ?

The Galacticos were all older, fully established super stars, Figo, Brazilian Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, etc....there were not young rising stars like Haaland...just saying...
