It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Never said they didn't give us something but Pep seems happy how we are and that's enough for me. It's his job on the line.

Lose somethings in Sterling and gain others in Palmer and Alvarez. The beauty of football.

again there is no proof pep is happy about losing those two players. but like I side the squad building is upto the higher ups and pep works with what he is given.

If we sell Jesus, Sterling and Bernardo, we must get a combined £200 million.

Sorry but you`re in cuckoo land ... £160 - 175 IMO at tops. IMO.

Not bothered about media speculation on fees. Wishing Sterling all the best. V interested to see who will come in his place or if we even replace him at all.

We have to trust Pep and the board to do the right things here. I would have liked less outgoings in terms of keeping continuity and we will require new players to hit the ground running. However there is an argument to say that freshening things up will bring more hunger to the team.

So it's Tolmie vs Sam Lee.

I'm hoping Tolmie's version is correct.

I know who I trust ... even if his taste in music doesn`t reach my liking. ;)

You know deep down I'm right, bring back Leroy!

Would Pep take him back?

I don’t think so ….

Brighton want 58 million euros for Cucurella - according to Andy Naylor Brighton Journalist

That’s £50m

I think we were incredibly lucky that we had a generation of players after the takeover who were so committed that they'd just sign new deals every 2 years and we never had to worry. The reality is what we're currently seeing with Bernardo and Raz and previously with KDB. Top players are constantly in demand, and they use that demand to negotiate contracts.

Rather than being extra committed I think its more to do with the fact that most of the top players are now choosing to run their contracts down and move on a Bosman in order to get a big signing on fee. Mane being the latest. We have to accept that players at City might do that too.

BM seems to have a fear that City are in some way less able to keep players and that we are overly emotional and doing Barca favours. I don’t think it’s true or anything to be overly concered about.

I think we would know if he wasn't.

No it's not. How many times. You think Khaldoon signs players like he's playing FIFA?

Transfer committee includes Pep, Txiki and Omar Berrada. Khaldoon and Ferran sign the checks off.

Palmer is more like Mahrez than Jesus or Sterling and it's a lot to expect of him. Mahrez is probably going after his contract ends, so we'd just be in this position after that. Lot of experience to lose as well

I dont know what anyones worried about we’ve lost players before, we’ve brought different players in not always direct replacements and we’ve carried on winning. No reason to expect that to change. I’m supremely confident and looking forward to next season whoever we have in the squad.
