It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

We shouldn’t be just aiming for a top 4 finish though, that’s for the rags. We have to be aiming to win the title again, and ideally at least one cup.
We will be aiming to win the league. We were the best team in Europe by a country mile last year and will be again this time around even if we don’t make any more signings after Gvardiol.
 
My biggest worry is we start next season with the complacency we showed at the beginning of last. This is always the big test of successful teams especially in a competitive league
The difference this season is having no post/pre-season UEFA/FIFA competitions, with players returning late & injured.

OK, we've only had a month off & the players will have a relaxed week's training before the CS, but it's more than we've had in any recent season I can remember bar 2020, & that was because of the pandemic.

A lot will also depend on being certain what'll happen with Cancelo, Laporte, Walker & Bernardo. We'll also find out soon enough Pep's plans for Palmer, McAtee & Bobb.

I'm pretty sure we'll have an idea of replacement targets if any of those depart, so we won't really know what we've got to play with for the rest of the season until September 1st.

Not to mention most of our players wouldn't have een able to help having the upcoming world cup in the back of their minds , first half of last season.
 
Is it Pedri or Gavi that's the brilliant one?

Both were hyped up majorly but it was pretty evident one of them was a case of trying to find some silver lining in the financial shitstorm. Just can never remember which one!
Pedri is the ‘pausa’ of the two. Very mature with how he plays in comparison to his age.

Gavi is similar to Phil when he was coming through. Always looking to burst forward and likes the quick link up play that’ll get him in the opponents area.
