It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Dias is arguably better on the left though, as was Otamendi. Plenty of right footers are more comfortable on the left because most sides don't have the luxury of a quality left footed centre back.

Did you see Laporte playing on the right for Spain at the Euros? It was a car crash.

Sure and I do get your reasoning. It’s just less likely that we don’t have the balance with 2 of each.

It only happened once last season, didn’t it?

Sod's law, my friend.

Sure I seen something about the Everton kid Brathwaite or whatever his name is, being linked to him?

We have our own kids though and they will be going up against the likes of Kev, Haaland, Foden, Bernie, Grealish, Mahrez etc in training so they deserve a shot first.

We have to think of the future also, and as has been said earlier, whoever comes in is at the moment, behind Dias, Stones and Laporte.
If one of TH-B, Mbete or Doyle kick on, then they will be pushing not only for a squad place, but to play, within the next few seasons.
I wouldn't do anything at the moment and just see how it's going in January.

there is no thing as a lower key PL fixture .

Bournemouth at home, second game.

Regardless of result, it won't have an immediate impact on the destiny of the title

Need to recreate this with Cucurella, Phillips, Alvarez and Haaland.

Raheem is his own man and he might just blink when it comes down to it, but I would be surprised now.

Chelsea also showing genuine interest in Ake at £50m.

Replace Ake with Pau and move on... or even Timber or Martinez.

Important to replace Ake, as his role last season during some real crunch games was pivotal... I’d like to keep him though

 

[Blue Maverick]

If we don’t replace Ake if we go we are stupid, look how we struggled just to put 4 defenders out at the end of the season, unless we have decent youngster or someone else in mind keep Ake,I think he’s a great defender and very good on attacking set pieces.

I really hope this doesn’t happen :/

A fitting send off ?
