It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Or we could have shot ourselves in the foot titles-wise long before then. It's no coincidence that fans are shitting themselves because of our small squad.

We've Aké, Laporté Jack & Kalvin out & already we're looking stretched. Once we get to three games per week, then what?

I honestly believe that another senior LB & a top class winger is all we need to complete this season's squad & to give us adequate competition/cover for the season ahead.

We were a Kyle Walker injury away from a second successive CL final appearance imo. It's at crucial times like those, when bypassing moments like now, when we can change things, that makes our small squad policy seems crazy to many of us.

I think if a top class left back was available, then we would have bought him already, but for whatever reason we haven’t.

I readily accept that my pet theory as it were could prove to be absolute bollocks, but any World Cup influence in this transfer window is likely to have been more of a factor for City than for other teams, so I suspect that we’ve wanted to buy more players, but been frustrated.

Also, without wishing to be a smart arse, I would point out that Phillips was actually bought this summer to provide depth, and so far he’s been constantly injured. So there’s a bit of luck involved as well, and hopefully we’ll be ok for the next couple of months.

My (non-ITK) record:

Wrote it made sense for us to sell Zinch when the consensus was that he was staying. Check.

Wrote a modicum of brain power was enough to realise Neymar was unlikely. Check.

Wrote Cucu was unlikely (30 % chance to sign him) when the forum was convinced we were signing him. Check.

Wrote we'll 100% sign a LB. Check.

Wrote we'll sign only one FB after Zinch's departure. Check.

Wrote Bernie will stay, for we will want more money for him than Barca/PSG can afford to pay. Check.

100%.

Speculated about us wanting Gvardiol, think we were interested, but Leipzig didn't want to sell (at a reasonable price). Might have been wrong about that. Wouldn't be surprised though if we went for Gvardiol next summer.

Ha ha mate. There’s nothing like being humble is there.

Just wanted to show you can understand what's likely to happen by using your own brain rather than relying on ITKs...I use only publicly available info (would like to have inside info but...) Often it is enough, no inside info was needed about Zinch, Cucu, Neymar, Bernie...Akanji, though, is different, there was nothing in the media...
