It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

He’s the only winger I’ve seen us being linked with really

Which is worrysome

We better sign a left back. A proper one.

Not if Gvardiol arrives.

Yeah but he still have to know how to play in midfield

 

[RayCTID]

With Gvardiol we just have persuade RB Leipzig to sell him. Easy said than done

I don’t think we’re building a way of playing that needs traditional left backs. I assume that’s what people mean when they say a ‘proper’ full back. I think the links to a shit tonne of pivots that would expect to start most games, when we already have Rodri, means that we’re playing 3-2-5 next season with zero fullbacks and two actual midfielders as the pivots. A move away from inverted fullbacks. Rico to provide the inverted option if we fancy it for the odd game. In my opinion, we buy Gvardiol and no ‘proper’ full backs this summer.

LCB: Gvardiol & Ake
CB: Dias & Akanji
RCB: Stones & Walker

agree with the setup, think he'll still grab a traditional one for the option to revert to a four with a double pivot, we've Lewis as the right option. Cant see Gomez or JWE etc staying about. Prob grab a cheaper one from the free agents etc

 

[RayCTID]

If Gvardiol does arrive he won't be able to get away with piggy backing players

Chilwell won’t be more that £40m surely with his injury record and chelsea having to sell players because their squad is too big

 

[JewelZee]

Put me out of misery, having a mental block first thing in morning, lol. Know the face but just can’t pull name out.

Edit….or is it early pic of Zico?

Its Eder.

Sure it's been covered, but a lot of Romeo coming back to City talk today. Big yes from me.
