It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Yes because we are obviously run by idiots that will reduce the squad by 3 senior players. Doesn’t matter if they are here for the 3 pre season games or not, we can still put out more or less the same team that clinched the treble.

This is a forum you know. You don't have to be so hostile.

It’s a forum post something daft, expect to have it pointed out.

Walker or Bernardo if they stay?

It absolutely does matter. Not the 3 games specifically, but the 3-4 weeks on the training pitch is the only time all year we will get that amount of time for pep to really instill his ideas into players before it becomes about maintaining fitness over anything.

We've seen instances of players missing that peruod and taking much longer to adapt. Phillips last season missed all pre-season and the start of the season and by time he got fit we were too swamped with games for him to get upto speed. Similarly when we signed ake, he got a lengthy injury almost instantly and barely featured all season.

We typically like to do most of our business early, it's far from ideal if we were to lose 3/4 first teamers from now until thr close of the window and have to replace them in august.

still hoping Walker stays, all the talk around a move has come from one German source, who has talked bs this window already around other transfers. He could go but still hopeful.

Bernardo staying & hope he signs up that revised extension.

A replacement for Mahrez surely, imagine in the mould of a Grealish, can play wide but not a “winger”.

Should be a fairly busy month, at least it’s more exciting than the ‘business done’ windows : )

We have already got one Phillips will come good peps a believer!:))

I saw his face, now I’m a believer!
