It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[not my fault!]

A buddy (works as a football analyst for a well known firm) told me that City have been very interested in Diego Moreira and Martim Neto of Benfica. This is from his 'contacts' in Portugal. Shared that City scouts were present at Benfica youth matches quite a bit last season.

Idk how true this is but thought I'd share. Both Moreira and Neto are teenagers so doubt they would help the first team at the moment at all.

Possibly signings that will stay at their current club if we are genuinely interested?

I have no idea, if those players were being scouted for City or other clubs within the CFG.

Sources told L’Equipe: “Many clubs approached us but we were very clear, no departure.” Gusto’s deal runs until June 2024, which is why Lyon can take such a firm stance. They will consider bids in the region of £21.2m (€25m).

Fucking how much!?!? thats gotta be bollocks.

Just watched peps press conference now and am I reading too much into the apparently side when asked were we done in the transfer market? It seemed he may want more but isn’t getting what he thinks he needs?

I think you probably are. Just his usual "I don't run that part" indication I think, likes to keep it at arm's length.

Fair enough. I think we are a player or two light but it was the way he said apparently yeah we are done besides if anyone wants to leave

It's been a great window. Sure there will be folk complaining about one thing or another but on the whole I like the look of the new stream lined squad. Full of quality anf full of options.
I'm not going to whinge about prospective injuries down the line and panic because what the fuck is the point? It's football, players get injured and we move on.
This squad can make history.

I think they have a lot of faith in JWE and young Rico if the need arose. Why else would Pep bring Rico on in a Prem game this early in the season, regardless of the score. Its not something he does all that much, if at all. That kid made Pavard, Sabitzer, and L. Hernandez look like amateurs in the friendly against Bayern. Some balls for a17 year old.

James Gordon????????

Cracking little player, will end up at a big club imo

Worth a punt now, Everton sell him then they will go down he literally is there best player & he's a kid...

James Alexander Gordon looks the wrong side of 25 to me….
