It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Bill]

Hopefully they like him still.

no.

Felt like Christmas hearing Cancelo was going

Now feel like I've been kicked in the bollocks hearing this Maddison nonsense

 

[DATOIA]

For a senior squad of 17 players, you think we will probably lose 4 and gain 2, so we would have 15 senior players?

Ederson
Walker Stones Ruben NewLB
Rodri
KDB NewLCM
Foden Haaland Grealish

Ortega
Lewis Akanji Ake Gomes
Phillips
Perone Gundo
Mahrez Alvarez Palmer

 

[Brewster's millions]

I mean no one could do anything if they are injured.

Maddison is a much better footballer technically than Phillips, and his injury record isn't nearly as bad.

Evel Knievel has got a better injury record than Phillips.

Not sure we should be using Kalvin Phillips as the benchmark for our future transfers.

"just sign a left back"
Signs Gomez

"just sign a natural left back"
Mendy, Angeliño flop horrendously

"just sign a left back who can attack as well as any left back in the world and can also defend as well as any left back in the world"
This player literally does not exist.

I think they are both mediocre to decent and are best left for Leicester, Spurs, Villa, Everton etc.

All the resources the club has and our scouts still pop up with some players destined for midtable.

Phillips, Gomez and then Maddison, really? We can surely do better?

Thank you.

Maddison is overrated because he is English. Yet Bellingham isn't.

It doesn't make sense.

well who said bellingam isn't overrated? surprise he is overrated. people here think he is somehow going to be a upgrade on gundo and bernardo when he has so many holes in his game and will require lots of learning; no way is he worth more than enzo who is already a complete player. but atleast bellingham is young and has potential and seems to have the correct mentality.

I'd bring in a winger, even if it meant moving Palmer on or loaning Perrone.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Think we'll be waiting until the summer for this one, if it does indeed happen. Did City really expect Leicester to accept a loan bid?

Doubt it was a loan?

 

[Blue and true]

FWIW Maddison is one of the best free-kick takers around.

James Maddison is close to Ward-Prowse in terms of goalscoring stats.

Maddison = 14 direct goals from last 100 free-kicks taken
Ward-Prowse = 16 direct goals from last 100 free-kicks taken

And James Ward Prowse is a garbage footballer, scoring multiple freekicks doesn't change that. Nor does 14 in 100 change the fact that Maddison is anything other than an average footballer.

So underwhelming.
