It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Retro_Citizens]

Nkunku, Diaby and Koman

I like coman tbh

Neymar, if PSG decide to offload him this summer

Are you serious mate.

 

[blueparrot]

If Sterling and Jesus leaves, we will lose pace in the final third, let's look at the pacey players available on the market

Leroy Sane (since they might buy mane, might look to offload him or Serge)

Serge Gnabry (same as sane)

Ousmane Dembele (still no contract talks, will get him for free, slight (massive) injury issue but might prosper)

Sadio Mane (0.000000001% but still up in the market isn't it)

Adama Traore (this deal doesn't seem likely, still one of the fastest and City were his admirers before barca loan)

Daniel James ( Even I don't know why i mentioned him)

Ismaila Sarr (Ahh I really admire him i see the Sadio Mane like potential, will be costing comparatively little, exiting talent)

Alan Saint Maximin (one of the most skilful players in the PL, Newcastle don't wanna lose him but could be lured off, one of the best Sterling replacements IMO)


did i miss anyone?

lets not look at them. Do you not watch us, how often do Jesus or Sterling go racing in behind a defence. Neither are in our team for their pace. On the odd occasions we do counter KDB and Haaland are hardly slow Alvarez I couldn’t say. None of those you mentioned will be targets even if Sterling does go, which he might not.

Are you serious mate.

We're making a list of all possible candidates, right? You've included Adama, who is bang average (at best). I think the best possible solution is using Sterling this season regardless of his contract situation, whilst searching for another wide attacker for the next summer. We'll need to replace Mahrez anyway

 

[citytill1die84]

Nice one pal. They announced a venue yet?

Not sure it's 100% confirmed but Leicester ground in the rumour.

I'd chuck in Diaby, Felix (rumored by Tolm) or Antony.

Either way, we do need to replace both, with at least one winger :S

We wouldn't have needed a penalty if zinchenko hadn't played bowen onside - twice.

He wouldn't have his reputation so tarnished if posters like you actually didn't post false facts. It was Laporte &/or Cancelo who played Bowen on for the first goal, definitely not Zinchenko, the full match is available to watch on the club website so there is no excuse for posting a lie. He did play Bowen onside for the second, sadly because his fellow defenders esp. Ferna & Laporte failed to deal with the build up play, as also happened for the first. I cannot understand why people perpetuate these false smears when the facts are available to be checked before you post.

 

[lee_wsm]

Any one think sterling goes back if mane leaves ?

 

[Coatigan]

Sounds like a message to Juve to get a move on, rather than saying City are still in

A hypothetical for the Phillips haters.

Phillips or Pogba?

(Phillps for me but i'm not a hater)

Well, they are two different players for two different positions? Jogba can't play defensive mid. So, for our current squad and needs, Phillips all day.

You can never completely rule it out but I doubt it will happen

Didn't some report recently say he'd only go abroad if moving. This report was around March i think. Perhaps situations change.

 

[smiles]

Leao for me. The profiles are so similar in terms of pacey skillfully wingers. Got 27 G/A this season for title winning Milan. V. Young. Portuguese so grows that faction. He also has more physicality than sterling. Its a no brained imo

With AC just winning the league and quotes of him being ‘untouchable’ from their side seems like a tough one to land?

 

[smiles]

Have you seen your spelling of latte ?

Can’t spell for coffee..

 

[BlueBanger]

How often do we counter attack these days, 90% of our games are against deep lying low blocks.

Just as they were when he was here last.

When we go ahead there will ALWAYS be chances to counter...right now we have the best transitional midfielder in the world and nobody to do him justice on the break. They are more like break downs for us.

100% but just throwing the name in bcuz ultimately he would be the perfect replacement- a swap deal too far maybe?

 

[JWCH-99]

Oohhh yes, really forgot him didn't I, tho this seems just like Mane, 0.00001% chance, AC won't let him go, even for 150M (According to Maldini (their sporting director))

Throw sterling in on the deal- a huge stretch I know but ultimately it would fit his agenda for playing abroad for a big team that wins trophies and would bring the transfer fee down considerably. Just would be the perfect replacement

Never seen Leao play on the right, where he would be needed here, sadly.

I'd like to discuss the fit of Felix, as Tolm suggest was an realistic option. Not pacey but damn technically gifted beyond word.

Very doubtful after the hate campaign they put him through

 

[ScottSinclair]

Nobody is going to give him what he's on at Bayern, if he wants out he has to take a pay cut.

His partner is very open about how much she loved it here, he's always congratulating us on social media whenever we win a big game.

I reckon he'd be absolutely ecstatic to come back here. Whether Pep would have any interest is a different matter.

Maybe the experience at Bayern has humbled him a bit.

If we are losing Sterling, we'll need someone with pace in behind. We couldn't do much better than Leroy.

I doubt he'll leave Bayern this summer though. Especially since they're losing Lewandowski and Gnabry.

We should be all over Gnabry
