It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

You’re not seriously comparing agueros last injury striken season with Gundos playing every week clutch goal scoring treble winning season as captain?

Also we didnt manage to sign an Aguero replacement for 12 months

I’m saying we will be fine. Why is there always a answer back. Yeah he’s gone, we will get a replacement. That’s just how it works.

Sad to see Gundogan go, (if the reports are correct).

I would have hoped, however, that we were in for a better midfielder to replace him than Rice.

Like who mate?

I agree with this. With Gundo going, and Bernie seemingly still looking for a way out, I’m perplexed that Rice can be viewed in any shape or form as a number 8 and thus a replacement midfielder.

Of course I’ve learnt to never underestimate Pep so I’d by more than happy to eat my words.

No idea, I'm not paid to scout.

I'd never heard of Dias, Rodri, Akanji, etc.

Just think we have more success getting relatively unknown players.

Having watched Rice I don't think he has the passing range or vision needed for the top level, however it's possible Pep has other plans for him than that.

It sucks but he's earned the right to do whatever he wants with zero ill-will.

The Rice potentially being Gundo's replacement shouts make zero sense to me. They couldn't be more different in terms of play style IMO.

At this point, keeping Bernardo could be the best bit of business we could do all summer. Losing Ilkay AND Bernie in the same window and potentially going to McAtee and Kovacic as their replacements seem like a recipe for disaster.

Lol

What do you disagree with?

All of it

Ha. Fair enough.

Out of curiosity, and a question for others who watch far more leagues, if Rice is not seen as a Gundo replacement, who is out there who could be ?

And I'm not talking about the likes of Kimmich, FDJ.
