It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Keeper!]

I was ribbing you because you said the 5 center backs we now have is exemplary of how our standards have dropped. just having a little fun with you Keep...

lol no probs, that performance and the derby has me flustered and fired up!!

Problem is, the last few seasons, we are cursed with injuries to our CB’s. I have never known a team with so many injuries to their main CB’s. Just unlucky or poor fitness coaching playing some part

Maybe constant rotation is a contributing factor.

There's rapid players who are brilliant in tight spaces, surely. They're just very expensive but pricey for a reason.

The Georgian fella at Napoli

buy a fast paced overlapping LB or we are winning nothing this season. we have no pace to compensate our midfield deficiency.

I know we typically don’t buy in January, but team is in desperate need of new blood. We’re so stale.

We're very top heavy in central defence and wide players, but very little else. Such an unbalanced squad we have

i do think there is a few issues with our squad. im not going to over panic but it wouldnt be suprising if there is a bit of a overall in the summer. i feel like its the end of a natural era for some of our players.

i think the outgoings will be gundo, bernie and a cb.
i also think if were going full in on a lb and its an expensive lb i can see cancelo being moved on (although id prefer him to stay) i just dont think hes a character who would like to be rotating and on the bench at points.

i think the incomings will be a lb, bellingham and a winger.

it wouldnt also suprise me if someone like laporte ends up going (although i hope he doesnt) and ake and we fetch in another cb. esepcially with laporte maybe wanting to raise kid in spain.

i have a sneaky suspicion that its going to be a 17/18 type window especially with us making a profit this previous summer and also a few big names going.

looks like @tolmie's hairdoo was right about kian

Bernardo, gundo, kalvin, rodri, DeBruyne...how many midfielders do you want to not play the ball forward?

They can't take both on loan and its probably not much more expensive to buy them than to to loan them.
They seem happy enough with the 4 they bought from us this season.
