It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[The Fat el Hombre]

He has! Natural athlete in perfect condition

Few more years at the top yet for our Kyle

He could even move to the middle when eventually his pace starts to go a bit. Another Thiago Silva

Can't see it myself. Hasn't got the brain for it.

I expect that as soon as he loses a yard he's as good as finished. I'd be happy if that means two more seasons

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Christ! the window doesn’t close till September 1st?

Fuck me we’ve still got a while

I’ve seen plenty of veteran champion boxers suddenly ‘go’ and age a decade mid fight
Eg I loved him but Hatton would have been absolutely battered by Kosta at his peak, clever timing by Warren
Knowing when to quit is part of an elite mentality
Vinny knew, for example

Great shout. Ricky fought Kosta at THE perfect time. Peak Kosta was Canastota material.

Even ratboy Neville quit mid season, the only vaguely honourable thing he ever did, because he suddenly realised promoted Jobbers from Bolton and West Brom were running rings and embarrassing his old ratty arse

david james just said live on city matchday that he thinks we're looking for a winger, at least thats what i inferred from what he's said

Your inference?

Either he said it or he didn't?

 

[Keeper!]

So its about the structure of the deal and not about us drastically undervaluing their player?

That's a relief and you'd imagine we'll get it done.

It will be done, we would not let Zinchenko leave if there was any doubt.

He should have known when the Goat did it, that was the day to quit, humiliation at it's finest!

Maybe you'd prefer August 26th + 5 additional days?

Even Pep says he prefers getting the players in early so he can work with them.

I get there's plenty of time but for the sake of season's preparations it would be beneficial for everyone if they dealt with this Cucurella saga rather early.

 

[Woody135]

We paid £50m for Walker and that was considered over priced. Don't think anybody has regretted that for 1 second.

I suspect txiki did slightly when monaco then came along demanding 57 for mendy

Same with McGuigan and Eusebio Pedroza, an absolute class act.

Man we got 4 players really early and 1 is taking a bit longer but of course people will focus on the 1 ffs

Context brother, the position in question is a left back, a position that hasn't really been addressed since a certain Frenchman. Now we've also lost a decent squad player in Zinchenko who could play there. I get you though, not slating anything per se because our window has been unbelievable so far but longer it drags on it worries me.

We also sold 4 players early, which all round is great quick work and keeps the squad focused without distractions of outgoings. Besides, wouldn't be the first time a player arrives late in the window, like Dias, Jack etc.

[richards30]

fucking hell we actually bid £30m!

 

[CityBluez]

Tbf i am not mad at Brighton. 30M is a joke bid from us. I almost can't believe it's true.

But if it's polballus it's as authentic as hell
