It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Pau Torres isn't going to happen now we are keeping Nathan Ake.

That makes it sound like they think Cancelo hasn’t played left back before, not remebering he played most of last season there. We need a left back for cover and certain games and we’ll get one. For the majority of games though Cancelo would be fine.

You are aware he’s a right back? Filling in is ok but permanently needed and we are struggling. Lack of balance with no left footed left back, then playing a right footed winger also means we are cutting in and predictable. An overlapping left footed left back would help us in more ways than one.

good

Rather have Ake ...Pau Torres is overrated big time

I don’t think Guardiola accepts such demands. I also see Cancelo starting more than Walker at rb this season, Walker is getting on.

Your right it’s Guardiolas way or the high way and there are no guaranteed first team players that being said he know that players expect to play a certain number of games especially senior players Cancelo is one of them and I just not sure I see how Cancelo would play enough if we got Gvardiol and Sergio not even sure Gvardiol would get enough games

Would of been decent replacement for Ake but the better option was to keep Ake. Chelsea don't rate Ake too highly otherwise they would of matched our valuation.

We've got 2 fullbacks and 50+ games to play, plus a world cup. Ake can play a few at left back if need be, Stones could play a few at right back if need be. Until we sign at least one full back, it's our weakest position in terms of depth.

I don't see us going through the season like that, but that's the current position and I can't imagine Pep would be happy having made do at left back for the last four seasons

Agree with 5subs rule the opposite will play with set of wingers and full backs to run at your defense. I would not be surprised that it will be a common scene to see a change of full back around hourly mark. It is what Liverpool did to us in the last game. Remember how many times Roberson and TAA charging forward? While we rarely see Cancelo or Walker joining the counter on time.

For what it’s worth Pol Ballus and Sam Lee on the Athletic podcast were saying that the reason City let Zin go was because they were very confident of getting Cucurella having the player on board with coming here.

As a few Brighton fans were saying Bloom never gave City a price other than to point to the Ben White transfer of £50 million and say they value Cucurella more than White.

They said that City realise they miscalculated and the plan was definitely not to start the season with only two full backs. They mentioned City are doing everything they can and know they have to be quick now.

They both thought City would react positively and that it had been a long while since City made an error in the Transfer Market.

You could always use them ... as well.

Quick regarding what? Getting a replacement or paying up for cucurella?
