It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Wirtz for me mate, already a gem and him and KDB for a couple of years could be special

Have we been linked? Can’t say I know anything about him

 

[DeBlueLou]

Not with Cancelo & Laporte still in the mix.

Cancelo most likely isn’t sticking around/gettin registered?

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Only for the mentally challenged.

Oi leave me out of this

if they want someone in, yes

Only a slight link a few weeks ago, nothing major unfortunately

 

[richards30]

You are presuming Barca are going to want a shithouse in their ranks.

Their mouthpieces have been talking about Xavi wanting him all summer mate

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Gvardiol in is a full squad, without outgoings.

A bit disconcerting that, cos it either means we’re going to be bent over a table and forced to take it up the arse for anything remotely resembling a decent fee for Laporte or Cancelo, or we’re gonna go with McAtee and Palmer as replacements for Gunders and Mahrez, and Phillips continuing to deputise for Rodri. Neither augurs well.
If that pre-season has taught us one thing, it’s that we’re well short of attacking options. A great starting XI, but somewhat lightweight thereafter. We’re looking at a 55 game season again, and Rodders, Kev, Bernie, Foden and the Meat Shield can’t play every week. As an absolute minimum we could do with a winger with a real change of gear

A winger, another AM and Gvardiol imo mate.

Gotcha...like I said I'm fine either way even after today, although it's hard to come away with an objective assessment while playing with that many players who aren't anywhere near ready to play at this level...

Nothing to do with his pre,season performances

 

[Kompany Car]

With Barca wanting Cancelo and Dembele available for €50m could we not just swap them players? Pep gets rid of Cancelo and we get a winger?

You do know Dembele is known as a bit of a "party boy", in more of a Mendy way than a Grealish one.

Raphinha would be the safer choice.
