It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

He would give us more incision than Bernie and dovetail nicely with Foden as a KDB successor.

Doesn't have the workrate of Bernie, but that's what Bellingham is for.

We haven't been the same since Dave left, and need someone alongside Kev who can see the pass.

Not long left on his deal and a steal for £50m.

This. The reliance on KDB to pick every incisive pass all game is scandalous. Gundo is tidy but rarely sees that x-factor type pass that Silva/KDB see that seem to have that 'umph' about them.

Same with Bernie, Foden and Grealish.

I don`t know what anyone else thinks but SSN coverage is getting worse by the day.
Currently having their say Leanne Sanderson and Jamie O`Hara, and it looks like it`s being filmed in Stretford Arndale.
Kinnell this Sanderson needs to slow down when she speaks she`s giving me a headache. And as for O`Hara he`s one thick specimen.
And then they have the "The Transfer Show" where 4 spotty brats just out of short pants sit round a table who know absolute fuck all about what`s going on.

She looks like Firmino with a bad dye job and sounds like Merson on a bender. Oh and she’s a rag. Enough said

Not true at all. When KDB has been out over the last few years, other players have stepped up. We have been just fine (maybe even better at times).

If we lose out on Bellingham after not signing Enzo when he was dirt cheap, then go for Maddison that is a massive downgrade in ambition.

Could you point me in the direction of your post that said sign him, when he was dirt cheap?

Enzo should have fucking moved to Manchester when he was a wee boy and joined the academy. He would have been free!

Our whole game plan this season has been to give it to KDB for him to do something special. It has been a few times over the past few years too - it's why we see so many games where we just aimlessly cross it. In the hope one of his deliveries are on the money.

It's not a slant particularly. It'd just be nice to spread the creativity around in therms of influential, non-traditional passing.

My point is we are a world class club, we should be targeting established and flourishing talent. Players like Maddison, Phillips, Gomez and to some extent even Grealish aren't that. They are average to sub average in that case of Gomez.

Grealish and Maddison are very good players. Phillips has been injured and Gomez hasn't had too much of a chance. Both have had to come into a new team that isn't firing on all cylinders and a season that has been disrupted by a World Cup.

Then change the game plan. It certainly isn't that the other players can't create. They have proved that they can over the years.

The article indicates that it's either Bellingham or Maddison. Not both. Tell me it wouldn't be underwhelming if our summer midfield "rejuvenation" consisted of signing James Maddison. With Gundogan/Bernardo leaving.

You’ve suddenly decided what our next transfer window is going to be just so you can get all fucking morose 6 months in advance? Why?

Ah yes because that would have made a difference.

Grealish and Maddison are very good players. Phillips has been injured and Gomez hasn't had too much of a chance. Both have had to come into a new team that isn't firing on all cylinders and a season that has been disrupted by a World Cup.

Maddison is very much average and when phillips has played has showed zero intensity. You can't be showing up to the likes of PSG and Madrid with James Maddison and expect to win.
