It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Cancelo requires quality minutes at left-back.

Especially so, when other clubs aren't yet privy to what our intentions would also be towards a Mendy acquittal?

When we agreed the sale of Zin, we essentially told clubs we need another body in that position.

If Zin had been told to wait patiently for his Arsenal deal to be concluded, we may have afforded ourselves some breathing room on both a replacement and price.

But you still recon that we will aquire a lb?
 
If we think Chilwell is an option as Chelsea are stacked is Alonso worth a shout? It would give us experience whilst JWE develops and it would also piss off Barca as well which can't be a bad thing OK he is 31 but would cost little and apparently I only on £100,000 a week. Ready to be shot down as I haven't watched him closely but always seems steady.

Pretty sure we won't be interested in any Chelsea rejects

We don't need another winger.

Options for RW: Mahrez, Foden, Alvarez, Palmer (Bernardo, even Cancelo)

Options for LW: Foden, Grealish, Alvarez

Alvarez replaces Jesus in that he can play across the front line, and not just at 9 or 10.

Idk that attack doesn't really strike fear. Haaland yes but he will eventually get a knock I've watched him at Dortmund, Dortmund fans always held their breath when he went down. Maybe his injuries are behind him and he's fit all season but

if you take Haaland out, you have attack made up of players that haven't ever scored over 10 in goals in a Premier league season compared to Tottenham and the dippers that attack is quite average.

I don't know if Mahrez has I can't remember. Compared to what we had in Sterling and Jesus to come off the bench/start it's quite a downgrade on the wings goal scoring wise.

By then Arsenal will look out for another option seeing City isn't that serious selling him. While it good for us i don't think Zinchenko wants to wait his future depending whether new LB is incoming or not, this kind of opportunity having more gurantee playing time and raising his wages will not be come anytime soon.

Think the club did the right thing when Zinchenko the player that previously refused to be sold suddenly changing his mind and wants to join another club. Maybe he doesn't want to be mostly backup utility player anymore, can't blame him if we can't guarantee him on this (playing time) there's less likely the chance he will be waiting and wants to join another club as soon as possible.

Did Chelsea having 4 other LBs in their squad give them breathing room on the Cucurella price?

Nope you do all but wrap up the deal...tell arsenal they can have it towards the end of the window after we conclude our own business first. This isn't so unusual.

Penny for Chilwell's thoughts?

We tried to sign him previously and would not mind us chancing our arm.

I would even try a cheeky bid for Luke Shaw if it was lower than £20m. He is running down his deal.

I think one player kicking off about cake is enough for any club tbf mate.

no i think Chelsea have been bummed mate! I just think the agent told us possibly £40m would get it done and we tried a couple of cheeky offers below that and then went to the £40m before seemingly chelsea give brighton a beyond dream scenario and came steaming in with their £50m offer which still managed to extract even more from them?

Nobody knows what we offered, I think we can infer we were t prepared to pay what was required, in my view quite rightly
