It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I'd also question why Cucerella was a target in the first place?

Gomez is also here because we didn't have a plan b to Cucerella, which is another question mark over our transfer strategy.

A problem that we have is that there is simply a dearth of talent in that position. Even looking forward to the summer, I just don’t see a viable option for left-back, and even the quality of midfielders leaves me wondering if they’ll be immediately better than what we have.

That's more like it.

There was a time on here when everyone was in agreement that we needed players like De Jong.

Now many are saying its great that we're going for Maddison.

If we are linked to Mason Mount next, a lot of posters here will say he is the best thing since sliced bread. The truth is Maddison will be an underwhelming signing imo. We can do better.

uff don't. that would be incredible but seems unrealistic. Bellingham is the one for me.

De Jong doesn't seem that hard a deal to do. Barca are skint and want Bernardo, we give em Bernardo and a few quid and take De Jong. They make a few million and save on wages.

No id be fuming if we were genuinely linked with Mount, I can cope with Maddison

The Man City board have taken liberties because pep is their manager, and think they can get away with gaps and holes because pep is there and they can do what they really want to do which is win the net spend trophy. which they did and got zero praise for btw. if this carries on post pep it could get be a bit of a rude awakening tbh.

I think more we have more breathing room short term. I think its clear Pep will get what he wants this summer.

A lot more loan deals around than I seem to remember. Porro loan but obligation to buy, odd.

I have a feeling that this may not be our year. Some of this is because Kevin isn't playing to his typical level, and I think in the past, particularly during the year he was injured, we could make up the difference. But we are getting a look at what it will look like when he's getting too old to compete at the highest level. I don't think he's there yet, but I don't think people understand what he means to our success. So we just need to find the next Kevin de Bruyne. Easy, right?

His wages are obscene however. Can't see him taking a wage cut.

Neither one is good enough for the money that will be asked for them and frankly I don't see either as a proper fit with us.
