It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Great Kompany]

Wow
No fullbacks FC!

Linked with Arnau Martinez right back for Girona release clause 17 million.

It’s a ridiculous position to find ourselves in - absolutely scandalous in fact when you consider the resources of the club. Serious questions have to be asked.

When you replace Fernandinho and Zinchenko with Kalvin Phillips and Sergio Gomez, it’s never going to end well.

We didnt replace Fernandinho with Phillips we replaced him early with Rodri
How do you know it ridiculous, you dont know whats happening with incomings.

Nick Pedro Porro from under the noses of the Spuds?

Apparently that deal fell though last night.

Porro is a right back though

To be fair no one could predict Philips would dislocate his shoulder, & he's not the first player to have taken a season or two to bed in.

Gomez was an afterthought. We went in balls deep for Cucurella, the Chavs swooped & got him, so Gomez was seen as a win/win low-risk move. If it worked, great! If not, he goes to Girona a year later than he would have done.

Either way City don't panic buy, so if not Gomez, recent transfer policies would suggest we go through the season without, mend & make do.

Hopefully in the summer we'll have a couple of options, & not put all our Left Back eggs in one basket...

Not bothered about specifics when it comes to who we should/shouldn’t buy. My main worry is why we have made a net profit in the transfer market (when others are splashing the cash in a major way) yet are clearly intent on spending nothing - when the squad definitely needs a little refresh (nothing major - I’m not flapping!). The only other top team not spending is the rags because they’re skint but even they have made a decent loan move.

Why are we not looking to improve the squad? Even if we’re saving for a known major summer purchase (Bellingham?) we should not let it impact on this season or we could end up without a trophy.

Something is odd. Anyone throw any light on the situation??

Can't believe we're gong to weaken the squad further by letting Cancelo go - surely we're going to replace him but there's not much time. What the hell is going on. Why aren't we spending some of our savings!!
