It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Just 2 of the 3 I reckon Gvardiol and either of the others not sure which plus Kovacic.
Laporte and Cancelo join Gundoga Mahrez out Which by my reckoning leaves us as strong as last year on numbers and quality. I don’t think any team has improved enough to close the gap.
Signings apart I think we get better seasons from Grealish, Haaland, Alvarez and Foden, I also think Gvardiol gives us added options that Laporte didn’t. Stones gets the CB / Mid hybrid even more. Confident for another good season.

Optimism to disguise the underlying issue. Without KDB creativity is at a bare minimum

I hope not with Raphina. That is a signing for the sake of it.

You don’t want us to sign any players though?

I’m usually all for transfer windows, I enjoy the rumours but this Summer has been a bit tedious so far.

Would much rather just fast forward a few weeks and concentrate on football rather than Fabrizio Romano and his daily changes of mind.

Ideally want Cancelo gone because he’s an absolute liability and moody bastard. I was up for keeping Phillips too but he’s shown the square root of fuck all in pre-season which is a little concerning given we won’t move for another midfielder while he’s taking up room.

Says who? I've seen no fresh links.

Almost every window it’s the same story; for City and others. We start with the narrative ‘Pep wants business done before pre-season’, never happens.

We have a month left yet, patience.

Quality over quantity

Probably, but unlike some on here, not salivating about just about everybody who is apparently available.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Every window the ITKs say we have a huge budget and should expect four or five new players and they're never right and this forum never learns.

To be fair mate, every summer we do sign four or five players and the budget is always there for the ones who do want to come.

Last season it was Phillips, Ortega, Erling, Alvarez and Perrone.

And certainly had Erling and Phillips on the money.

This season Kovacic and Gvardiol and Pep's comments over the weekend suggest plenty more comings and goings.
