It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Heard something interesting that I'll share with you all. I have a buddy who's a South American scout for an MLS club. He heard a couple of things that are City related.

1) Good news: CFG scouts have been heavily scouting Alan Varela. He is a 6 but can operate as an 8. Probably the best player in Argentina now that Alvarez is gone. He's seen the same scout at the Boca games that were previously scouting Alvarez and Fernandez at River Plate.

2) Real Madrid scouts have been speaking to River Plate personnel, recently, about Julian Alvarez. The word is they are doing background type checks. He speculated they might view Alvarez as an eventual Benzema replacement.

Just want to say, I'm not an ITK and I don't claim to be one. However, I have many friends that are employed in the world of football.

Hopefully they get Gabby Jesus from Arsenal instead.

And Arteta would be a nice replacement for the retiring Ancelotti.

So will Madrid get both Haaland & Alvarez ?

9/10 out of 10.
 
Now the dust has settled......excellent window.....the signing of Akanji answering plenty of valid concerns and settling more than a few nerves.

My only gripe was losing Lavia,in favour of Philips.....im not convinced it was necessary.

Anyway,any window where Haaland is brought in automatically makes it mind blowing and Alvarez looks to be a huge/unexpected bonus......so a 9/10 for me.
