It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Retro_Citizens]

Dembele you have to sign for 5 years and match the salary demands he has at £250k/week. It’s a massive commitment.

Bale would be a cheap 1 year thing just giving us a safety net rather than rushing into a purchase. He could play 10 games all season because Palmer is the next best thing and he’d be happy.

Good point

Foden, Grealish, Kdb & Silva putting through balls in.

The Viking would smash records.

Never happen though.

That might though and that's better.

We don’t go for old injury prone players so Bale is OUT

I don't understand why city fans hate Mahrez so much, like everyone is worried about sterling but why not mahrez, like i also like sterling but why not mahrez?

I was going Left/Right but ok.

I can't see Levy passing up the opportunity to sign Bale and Eriksen on free transfers, especially when Conte is demanding a big summer. Gives them amazing quality and depth and allows them to splash the cash in defence, which is where they need major surgery. Plus, neither player will expect to play every week.

I think Cardiff is the most likely one. Which is a shame because he’s only 1 year older than Kevin

The club with the best golf courses next to it will be Bale’s next club, if he has one.

I tried to argue getting Bale in on loan a couple of years back and got vilified for it.

I guess what happens with Wales will determine whether he carries on or not.

skillset. Silva/Palmer can both replicate what Mahrez can do. Sterling isnt really covered by anyone else in the squad.

Here’s a left field one.

If Mahrez or Sterling did leave, maybe even late in the window, the club decide not to rush into buying a replacement but didn’t want to be left relying too much on Palmer and or other youth players.

How about signing Bale for a year?

He was still very useful for Spurs last season, we have the best medical department in the country IMO, he wouldn’t be overused, but could rotate in.

He apparently wants to keep playing club football so he can keep playing for Wales and the other option seems to be Cardiff who aren’t going to be paying him anything much so wages aren’t an issue.

Could lend a lot of CL winning experience to a side losing 2 or 3 of its most experienced players, gives the club time to scout and negotiate for a long term RW and try out the kids and in return he gets to add playing for Pep to his resume and probably a PL title.

Wouldn’t his wages be a major hurdle?

Wouldn’t his wages be a major hurdle?

It depends on whether he'd rather retire than earn 100k a week and keep playing. We can certainly offer him more than Cardiff.

 

[Retro_Citizens]

Sterling will give his decision after his meeting with City, which is booked after the international break is over, so until he decides, everything is uncertain

 

[applecentral]

No you are missing the point, they might not have a choice if he decides to wait until next year. I think there will be a few teams that would pay around £50 mill, better value than £40 mill for Mane , teams he wants to join , who knows. Personally I think hell extend with us as it might be his best option, when he sits and thinks about it.

But will it be the clubs best option?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wouldn’t his wages be a major hurdle?

Unlikely. He’d want medals more now he’s creamed Madrid for 9 years.

 

[applecentral]

I don't understand why city fans hate Mahrez so much, like everyone is worried about sterling but why not mahrez, like i also like sterling but why not mahrez?

I prefer Mahrez

 

[blueparrot]

But will it be the clubs best option?

Yes, they must think so otherwise it would be a bit daft offering him an extension.

That’s a fair point

 

[domalino]

Madrid or a new deal at City this summer. Think either option is possible. Can’t see any chance of him going anywhere else and if Madrid don’t move for him he’ll sign the deal and secure his City legacy.

He could always just sign a 3 year deal?

That means he’d hit the free agent market at 30 so still plenty young enough to get his move abroad and City’s RW is sorted for the next 3 years (probably when Pep leaves).

Pretty much gives everyone what they want.

I reckon he’ll sign for longer if he does but I see your point totally.

 

[bugsyblue]

The real move here is to cash in on Cancelo, get Cucurella as the starting classic LB and Zinchenko as the inside, control the game left back, but we won't do it.

Instead we'll probably sell him for peanuts in a year or 18 months after he's become an "unhappy face" at training because Cucurella and Walker have nailed down the positions, then Zinchenko will be at Arsenal and we'll have to find someone else.

Sell Cancelo… and I thought you were a rational poster on here!

Fuck me. First sell cancelo and now sign bale. I’m done… I want off this world.
