It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Switching to outside full backs on their natural sides is what changed that game. Made the pitch 30 yards wider for us

Agreed, but why didn’t we start like that?

Im just asking questions, I’m not trying to call anyone out.

Not as regular player and Pep still has (had) to manage Gundo very carefully.

He has apparently been struggling since last summer with nagging regular back pain tbf. He has history with that condition
Makes his contribution all the more heroic and gives pause when we consider what these still relatively young men go through every week to be fit to play at such a high level

And that is the reason why we should keep Bernardo at the club and not swap for De Jong (who will need time to fully bed in)

In years past they would have been pumped full of cortisone and pain killers. No wonder so many old pros have crocked knees, hips, ankles, backs, etc.

Doesn't Leao play on the left though? We already have Phil and Jack for that position. Not sure we'd go spend big money for a third player in the same position.

If he comes then jack or phil will drop into Cam, like we player with david silva, and silva who played in Cam will shift to RW

 

[WallyA]

Yeah, I guess my question is was it deliberate, or because we were struggling?

No player would be doing what he did (dropping deep to make a midfield 2), unless Pep instructed them to do so.

We've been making a middle 2 the entire season, clearly coached.

It's 2050 and City players will still be linked to Barca, Silva isn't going anywhere, a few days ago there was a rumour he wanted to stay and sign a contract. He is very happy rn

 

[razman]

They are facing problems registering free transfer players, let alone players but years left on their contract

 

[DeBlueLou]

The names are correct, as Khaldoon has stated tonight, he would like all our business done by July 1, but football transfers rarely move smoothly.

Yeah! How are Brighton and Leeds to do business with? Closer to Levy?

I have been told that bernie will sign a new contract this summer. Sterling wants out and mahrez has been told to do 1 with his latest contract demands( parity with kdb) let's see how it works out. I've always seen foden as a bernie replacement if what I've been told is false.
