It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I think the Declan Rice bid was the highest we were prepared to offer. If we had been successful, then happy days. If we weren’t, at least we had forced Arsenal’s hand. Win Win.

Standing without the midfielder pep wanted by now (Rice or Bellingham) isn’t a win win. Pep is evidently not happy about the activity so far

I raised that point last week and again now, I find this transfer window rather bewildering to be honest.
I sense a season of transition next season now. Feels like we are missing an opportunity though again to kick on a bit more.

Bit early to be thinking like that imo. It could be the impetus to go again .

I think all City fans want Bernie to stay

We're going to be the net spend champions again, yippee

It is concerning that appears a few players want out.

But the majority of them are coming to the end of their careers. An aging team with hunger issues is not a good recipe.

Yes it would be good for exits to happen in phases but it Pep doesn’t want players with a eye on the exit door or we don’t want to lose from funds with FFP in mind then they go now.

Players come and go. Pep is the key. Unless I hear directly from him or from a really reliable source that we have real problems. Then I will trust the club.

Yep, on the first day back.
Looks like agents haven't informed Pep, players have.
Read tolmie's post again

Al Ahli have already bid for Mahrez, Bayern have confirmed interest in Walker saying that he wanted to speak with Pep yesterday, Cancelo was out the door already, Bernardo has been banging on about leaving for 2 years and Laporte was told he could go this summer a few months ago.

How is Pep surprised that any of these players have told him they want to leave?

Just been told we’ve big 85 mill for Valverde at Real Madrid , it should happen fast as they want funds for the winge bag at psg .

Ok, reading your post history it’s clear you know absolutely nothing. Nothing to see here.

But you can't get rid of 5 players ìts looking like and not worry a bit

Im not worried at all.Only starters were Gundogan who we’ve replaced and Bernardo who I think Foden will replace.So we will need to replace ‘Foden’ , Walker , Laporte Mahrez, Cancelo. Don’t think it will be that difficult, Gvardiol replaces 2 of them and non of the replacements need to be starting from the get go.

Because Olive from the canteen has decided to go to Everton for better catering skills.

Source? I don't see any mention of it anywhere else, even in the viper's nest that is twitter. So, who told you?

The same person who told him we were signing Henderson on a freebie, Bellingham, and Enzo Fernandez was going Newcastle. Dare say he's getting dangerously close to WUM status.
