It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?



He plays for Celta Vigo that barely escaped relegation, yet scored 11 goals and had 4 assists.
Similar stats to a certain German that had just left us, he can't be that bad :)?

Worth mentioning that Veiga had the biggest over performance between goals and expected goals (xG) in the Spanish league (11 goals from 6.1 xG). Which either means his finishing level is so elite Haaland should ask him for advice on how to be a better finisher, or that he had somewhat of a lucky streak and its extremely unlikely he would be able to keep these kind of goal scoring numbers up unless his performances improve greatly. With that said, he is obviously young and will improve over time. I just think he would definitely not have been mentioned with the clubs he is and for that €40m fee if he had only scored the 6 goals that was expected from the amount of chances he had. According to the data that is :)
 
What’s our depth chart looking like assuming no more incomings after Kovacic and Gvardiol and also assuming Bernie, Mahrez and walker stay? Also I haven’t included youngsters like Rico and Palmer.

GK: Ederson, Ortega, Carson

CB: Akanji, Walker, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol, Ake

MF: Rodri, Stones, Kovacic, Bernardo, KDB, Foden

ATT: Haaland, Alvarez, Grealish, Mahrez, Foden, Bernardo
The GK and CB looks very good

MF looks little light as we are using Stones in there.....Im not sure if Pep will continue to do that as he may want to evolve again as teams start to work out how to counter the system he had...Inter did it in the final....and other teams at the back end of the season started to do it as well.....

Attack - well all depends on Mahrez and Bernardo situations - I id still say that we need one player who can play both mid and attack

Throw a quality wide player who can play down the left in there and I'd say we are good to go

Wouldn’t pep prefer a small but versatile and quality squad. So for example Foden will rotate with Kev at RCM and Grealish at LW. While Silva can rotate with Kovacic at LCM and Mahrez at RW. Keeps the squad happy and not bloated which helps us avoid any potential mood problems in the dressing room.

Looks like he can certainly strike a ball, some very good finishes in here, even though its not all his goals this season.


 
Right hear me out on this one- juventus want rid of pogba- city wanted him last summer and so did guardiola. As a stop gap for a year or so he’d be no older than a gundogan but offers the multi functional type player that guardiola likes while also being able to replace the goals/assists. Injury prone players have been sorted out by city medical team in the past also. I know it’s mad, but if they were keen last summer why not this summer? There is no denying under pep he could be phenomenal
You mean Pognomenal?

Besides the fact that he’s a ****, and a rag one at that, and the fact that he’s had the injury and him just being generally shit…

The kicker is ‘Pogmentary’! The most stretched “pun” in the history of language
