It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I’m with you. He’s always a great listen on the Why Always Us podcast. I think the hate he gets on here is bizarre.
Being a rag doesn’t help not that you’d overly tell by his reporting. I think the main thing that riled many was mocking pep about the media differences between us and Liverpool which are undoubtedly there. To be honest though those in the media don’t usually see it, even one’s working at city oddly. Might be because they are all a bit brainwashed in that industry maybe.
 
I don't get the debate...Cucurella was targeted months ago as a replacement for Mendy...Zinchenko decided to take Arsenal up on their offer this week...the fact that we haven't secured Cucurella doesn't then turn him into a "replacement" for Zinchenko...Zinchenko will now need to be replaced, not, however, by Cucurella but by someone else...it could be Raum...it could be Villa's Mitchell...it could be someone from the youth ranks like Wilson-Esbrand, but it has to be someone...some on here are saying Zinchenko is indispensable yet are arguing we don't need a 4th FB, which prior to Mendy's suspension that's exactly what Zin was...
Wonder if Ake will be back up left back, presuming we sign Cucurella
Cancelo - Cucurella - Ake as leftbacks

That's pretty obvious to me.

I'm sure we have told Ake there will be more opportunities for him next season. He is decent at LB. That's why Pep played him there vs Atletico. If Ake stays fit, he will play plenty of minutes next season.

The idea that we are going to buy two LBs is based on wrong interpretations. Imo, it's nonsense.

I like Ake and he did a decent job when he played last season. Let's hope his injury record improves.
 


Surprised it is linked in the sense - cucurella was always our target .

Zini going - was option late in the day I think

I thought it would Sterling out and cucurella in

Like it had been for Jesus out and Phillips in

Leaving ourselves bit short again I think maybe zink doesn’t want to be back up anymore which fair play but we need pressure off WALKS a bit as semi proved
We need four players ideally for left and right back

Well it's gonna have accelerate it now as we're leaving ourselves a bit fucked if we don't replace zinc lol. We only have Voldemort fuck face in that position and he ain't ever getting near our pitch again.

Lazy journalism as they both play in the same position but there are some that believe that’s the situation now. They might be right but it’s just as likely they aren’t.
 
Interesting that we’ve left ourselves open to Brighton who now know we’re going to be even more short at left back than we have been already.
 
SUMMARY: For any visitors who look in on this thread and want a quick update but no more…

1 Out

Zinchenko to Arsenal

2 In

Cucurella to CITY
Full Back to CITY**

Easy one today. Nothing new happened.

**Fairly even split as to if City will start the season with 3 specialist full backs or 4 but most reports suggest Cucurella is a Mendy replacement and Zinchenko will also be replaced if he leaves. No new Cucurella news today.

I’ll post one of these most evenings around this time on this thread

You are welcome.
Quick update? I come here to watch people fight mate...

Not to mention we lose a bit of bargaining power also..
