It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[This CITY is OURS 14]

Although i rate Cancelo and think he does well at left back, the fact that he cant overlap and cross in on his left also makes Grealish too easy to defend and predictable, we really should go all in for Cucarella, it would be a big mistake not to in my opinion.

Of the last 3 non-friendly games we played. Cancelo was not good against Liverpool, Villa, and West Ham. Why cant people blame him?

Cancelo has the same prob every 'utility' player we've used has. When Bernardo was shuffled LW/LM/RM etc his form dropped off, same with Foden at LW/F9 and even Sterling last season etc, being shifted LB/RB position and role is hard to get a run of form going.

Gundogan & Silva have both talked about this in seasons. He is good at both, but its no surprise when he gets a good run in one he looks world class. How I see it anyway.

He didn’t play left back against West Ham I can’t remember how he played myself. Fact is he played most of the season at left back and got into the team of the year, and we had the best defence so I’m not concerned about it.

I am very confident we will sign a left back.

I agree about the Grealish and an overlapping left back, doesn’t have to be Cucerella though other options will be available.

All the transfer news and gossip was much easier before we had the internet. When the MEN was a decent paper we relied on City journo Peter Gardner. He was the main source of transfer business and club news.
When he said we were saying a player it was usually nailed on because the club trusted him to convey any news to us blues. And when we signed a player we'd all be watching the telly for Look North West or Granada reports to see our new player being unveiled.

It was so much easier and far less worry back then.

Get me Borna Sosa & Malo Gusto as well just for hell of it. Ta.

My view always is his form seems to dip the last third of the season or so. Someone pointed out him playing the most minutes so might be down to just being knackered. He had a great 2/3s of the season in an attacking sense and is why he got in the team of the year. A right footed left back and right footed left winger just upsets the balance with Haaland now as he will thrive with first time balls into him, which won’t happen as often with right footers permanently down that side. For what it’s worth he was shite against West Ham. Similar performance to Saturday where he seemingly struggles to control or pass the ball. Wish he kept things simpler rather than think he’s a winger which his squad number of choice suggests

Don't need another RB. Sosa would help

I know there are people here close to the club. What is the official stance, are we out of the Cucurella race? I never saw this coming and frankly I am highly disappointed. No other leftbacks in world football makes me excited. Cucurella would have been so perfect.
