It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[pfazz]

A lot of people saying we should be balls deep for De Jong but he had already lost a yard of pace when we sold him.

Go on.. ?? Lol

No idea who but doesnt sound like cucurella or Phillips are the 'already boxed' off

Ah I am getting very mixed up for some reason. I think it’s Pre match tension..

Does he?

It looks like he makes less tackles, wins fewer headers and has less interceptions per game than Rodri.

He just gives me a 'jack of all trades' kind of vibe. I'm just amazed he's viewed by many as a midfielder who you build your team around. He's not shown anything like that in his career so far.

As Domalino said, perhaps Pep can get that out of him but he's not a raw kid anymore. He's 25.

So when he was at Ajax he was getting a lot of attention because of how good his progression stats were. He'd carry the ball more than any other DM up the pitch and he made more forward passes than any other DM.

"Done best" doesn't mean we need to spend 100 million on him, haha.

I mean City doesnt need to sell Zinchenko as Cucurella arriving means we have two lbs and two rbs again, which i think Pep would love.

Isnt Cancelo the favoured left back at the moment

The thing about cancelo is he blows extremely hot and extremely cold? When he’s on form like earlier in the season he was ridiculous but when he’s shite he’s really shite? I rate cucurella highly and would be happy for him to come in.

I tend to agree with that. Cancelo is great going forward, the ball for Sterling against Everton was out of this world but he's not a fullback for me. Cucurella for the price looks a steal

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

Cancelo is one of 8 up for premier league player of the year. The guy is at least decent, I'd think.

Who is the second signing?
