It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Paying him off creates a story though. I think we'll just let his contract run down as quietly as possible

gonna be a story anyway. Might as well control the narrative "reached an mutual agreement to release etc" no figures mentioned.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Mendy is never playing for us again, no matter the verdict.

 

[Lkzerinho]

Come on Tolm, who’s the piss boiler we’re after?

He said he didn't know, But I suspect it's someone like Pedri if we are talking over 100M

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Come on Tolm, who’s the piss boiler we’re after?

Think he said he doesn’t even know himself. That’s just how it was described to him I think.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

LR & RB - I'll take Hickey (20m) & Kabore (already owned)

Dont take a squad spot being U21 next season.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Forgot about Alvarez, possibly five in total.

So, Alvarez, Haaland, rb, lb(?) and dm?

 

[DeBlueLou]

I don't have an answer for you on that, perhaps Mendy would want to leave the UK anyway if he avoids prison?

Would be awful for the club to invite Mendy back to the squad... need replacing now regardless of verdict and then voiding his deal when the trial is finished

 

[christened at st marks]

Rice and James would certainly start to simmer, with Sterling going part ex for James

 

[kunaguero10]

So the basic idea is a right-back but if the Mendy case goes one way, we could get a left-back too?

Does City take mendy back if he's cleared in court? is that good for PR?

It's not good for our title chances, nevermind anything else! Not a chance he plays for us again.

 

[SkyBlueCanuck]

Release clause? Who gives a rat's ass? Not this guy! Only people trying to make it out that we are a temporary destination and thereby diminish our rightful standing in world football.

We have Pep. We have Big Blondie. And we are the club of his childhood and he will see his dreams come true while wearing our badge.

Fuck Madrid. Fuck the presstitutes. Fuck Roy Keane.

Never forget this, Erling:



Now go fuck 'em up.

Forget PR, bad defensively. Time to say goodbye either way for me.

 

[Dobsy]

KDB & Bernardo > Xavi & Iniesta

All our Dms from Yaya, Fernandinho or Rodri > Busquets

I politely disagree.

I personally don't get the "young RB" links with us already having Couto and Kabore on our books, with a cheap buyback for Porro, who is probably going to be one of the most in demand RB's in Europe.

I suppose the argument is that if Walker is injured and Cancelo is playing on the left, the drop off would be too much, but I don't see why Cancelo can't just be played on the right in those circumstances, with Zinny filling in.

We've dodged buying an actual LB for so long now, it would be baffling to me to go out and buy another RB before signing one - especially with the options we already have.

i would like to see us bring Porro back to be honest, especially for 20m euros?

 

[CityPar]

He doesn't have the clause info, because there isn't any. The Club has shared nothing.

Here's a question, Ducker and Stones have backed each up and state the clause is in excess of the £150m reported by Bild....

So why can't they tell us specifically what that figure is... they can't because they are simply speculating.

City will not telegraph anything.

Not trying to be funny here but given no-one knows anything the proof in the pudding will be in Summer 2024 if Real or PSG come calling......

Hmm then Halland Alvarez is already here. Dejong or Bellingham would be good. A fullback and maybe Nkunku? Now that would be piss boiling.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I'm not sure Gundo is going anywhere, certainly this summer. Perhaps a new deal won't be forthcoming, but he will likely see out his final year and leave next year for free.

Same goes for Mahrez.

No offers for Bernie, who is happy.

Sterling unlikely to leave this summer.

Jesus expected to be our most notable sale.

Most of the gang staying together and City comfortable with that.

Please ignore the buyout clause re Haaland, much like his wages, it is pure speculation and only being whipped up in Spain and Germany to smear the fact he has chosen City.

Haaland will be here at least four years and we won't have to worry about Pep either.

Plenty still to look forward to in this upcoming window including the announcement of the deals for Phil and Rodri.

Bernado staying and happy is brilliant news.

Do you know if there are plans to extend/ improve his contract TH ?

Is there a chance of Mahrez going to the rags next summer, if he’s happy in the area etc?

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Lot of ifs and buts there mate. Let's wait and see if it really is five years when the deal is formally announced.

Re Pep, lots could be read in to his thought processes, perhaps he thinks he should reserve the right to knock it on the head if he fails to win the Champions League next season, perhaps Enrique will be on the market following the World Cup, he's part of a succession plan.

I'm told there is no panic on Pep, although we can't allow the speculation to percolate too much through next season.

You didnt pick up on his Premier League FFP investigation bit in you reply mate.

What are your thoughts on that?

 

[kaz7]

Lol the guy is max doing 3 years and leaving

Here dipper ,you must be gutted
