It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Should have realised they would have had a game on the weekend of the brazilian Grand Prix ..

 

[LongsightM13]

If Van Der Beek is worth £40m, then Scott Carson is worth at least £80m.

Van de Beek was “an £80m player who united got for £40m” remember

For the right money I could see him going to Newcastle

i was no fan but to his credit a run of games has shown he can play a role.

but at Newcastle he’d be a starter and that may appeal to him.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Don't even know how you interpreted such, mate!

Genuine question, keeping Zin, having Cancelo, potentially buying Cucurella...

There needs to enough playing time to go around to keep everyone happy, even losing Mendy.

We know Zin can play higher up and Cucurella strikes me as someone who can get about the midfield?

I’ve always wondered if Zin could play the deeper ‘Gundogan’ version of a 6 role against weaker opposition.

Interesting to see what he would go for now with his two Premiership and League cup medals.

 

[Mad 4 It]

It took him a year to adapt, why would we want to sell him now and need to buy a replacement that has to adapt again. Makes no sense, same as all these twitter click bait rumours make no sense and 99% won’t happen. The 1% that do are pure lucky guesses.

I’m not saying we want to sell but he may want to leave.

 

[mike1923]

Of all the players in the world that we need, he is further down the list than needing Mendy back

He would be a great signing for them.

I’d rather bring Kante back.

 

[Kamaro011]

We need to be confident for our club board to convince this bench player like Ake and Zinchenko. They are vital for our long and tough season, we need player like them to provide vital contribution while our main starter is getting much needed rest after been overplay for majority games.

I have faith they can convince them.

 

[Kamaro011]

Just maybe Ake wants more playing time!? Be interesting if we do sell him if we buy another experience centre
Back.

Me personally would always trust our youth players

They aren't ready yet, atleast physically.

Try to imagine a veteran premier league player most of them already 24+ years old against our academy player defender under 20. The physicality between two is huge and our young academy player will not cope against them for 90 minutes plus you need them in case of high profile match like UCL which is they aren't mentally ready yet for this kind of thing.

They need to be eased to the first teams, as their age naturally comes with physical growth limitation slowly been reduced.

Surely he realised what his role would be when he first signed on.

 

[himalayan_blues]

Got a feeling this could be a crazy window, the first in a while. Several outgoings, some surprises as well I think, plus a few coming in. Hope it's a good one

I dont think outgoing will be that many. Only a few.
Ferna gone
one of jesus and sterling
may be thats it.

 

[Keeper!]

Nathan Ake is a bit of a shock departure. It might give a inclining of his exclusion during the rest of the title run in

Missed far too much football for a back up, I would imagine he is on very decent money but needs to be ready when called on, sadly since his arrival he has had numerous injury niggles.

 

[Keeper!]

Huge mistake

Not if the players want to be playing, Zinch needs regular game time and sadly he wont with us.

 

[Keeper!]

Newcastle were interested in January for Ake. I think it’s a bad decision to let him go especially with Stones injury issues.

Conveniently forgetting Nathan has had even more issues that John Stones.

Good sign that Pep is in for the long term, this squad has gone through a hell of a lot the last few years, a good freshen up will do wonders and keep everyone on their toes.

just this and nothing else. I expect razz to leave and want to replace with leao. It will be better with razz not leaving.

 

[Retro_Citizens]

This is just the perfect squad incase of depth power and strength, i would suggest to bring a really young RB incase kabore is sent out on loan again

That’s a big squad you have there. But for me it does highlight potentially how strong our youth team players are.
