It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[AlanBalls]

I don't think we need to worry about Bernie this summer, he's in a different place to 12 months ago.

His girlfriend has a lot to do with that.

The club needs to start an official player matchmaking service. Give them the Vinny treatment, find them a nice Manc woman to nail their feet inside the M60. Erling for starters.

If Frenkie is back on the menu this summer, I think I will cry with joy.

He's Kev successor in so many ways.

I honestly can’t get away from the view that Grealish is supposed to be the KDB successor. I think his skill set means he’s equipped for exactly that.

FdJ I see in a role where we currently have no player - the role that Pep intended for Gundogan in the CL final last year. A hybrid “false CDM” if you will. He’s truly quite the all rounder. Not the most physical guy, but he’s uniquely capable of playing CDM in a way we currently don’t have.

I really hope we ship Steffen out and get a new back up GK in

We won't be winning FA Cups or Carabaos with him in net if we come up against someone decent

and heaven forbid he had to play some league games for an extended time

I think that Foden is more likely than Grealish to fill the KDB role. Him and FDJ would be immense along side a quality enforcer.

If FDJ happens, a Haaland, Alvarez, FDJ window would be absolutely fantastic, and for a relatively minimal outlay.

Hang on to Bernie and Gabby, and get a solid FB and potentially a pacey winger with an eye for goal and my boner might last the entire window.

frenkie de jong, nkunku and haaland.

too optimistic?

Like the last two, don't want FDJ, may be Tchouamani.

 

[Imran92]

this. De Jong not slow

I think he meant to say that FDJ does not give the vibes of Ferna or Casemiro type of big tackler, nastiness.

 

[Ajm1985]

I'd worry about a severe lack of pace in the team if we have a Sterling/FDJ trade and Gabby goes.

Same, i think they'd address it if Sterling went. Jesus not so much Alvarez looks quicker

I thought Grealish was Kev's successor.
