It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Blue and true]

Risk brings excitement, and could be huge reward. Imagine if McAtee, Bobb, Palmer and Gomez really thrive. Imagine if Kovacic replaces Gundo's goals. Imagine if Haaland scores more and Foden becomes the boss in centre-mid.

How many "ifs"? Those "ifs" sum up why this has been an underwhelming window so far.

So you never going to give our medical team to give the credit their deserves?

It is possible for two things to be true:

1. Our medical team is one of the best.
2. We were unusually lucky with injuries last season.

We usually have few injuries, but last season we had unusually few injuries.

The initial point was that comparisons with last season are a little skewed because it's unlikely we have another season with so few injuries.

Hardly spending for the sake of it, when you’ve just let 2 of your 6 senior attacking midfield players leave and not replaced them……

They will not replaced them if the player we looking for is not available on the market and for the right price too.

Buying the player for the sake of it and just being another body in the team is not a good transfer plan either.

I'm sure I remember some of our resident "oracles" stating Kovacic was going to be a squad addition rather than a Gundo replacement. Did I just imagine that? Have the club scaled back their targets? Or is possible so many with these sources are talking bullshit.

So you still not going to give our medical team even just a little bit of credit then?

Good to know.

I think its safe to say anyone (Sam Lee) who writes that its even a possibility City could let Gundogan, Mahrez, Walker, Laporte and Cancelo leave and only replace them with Gvardiol and Kovacic, is either trying to wind City fans up and/or have no clue about whats going on. No chance that could happen, ridiculous to even suggest it. Would be the worst transfer business this club have seen in almost two decades. Nothing suggests our management have suddenly lost their minds, the results indicate the exact opposite.

You’re seriously suggesting there are no wingers or central AM’s out there who could do a job for us? Give it a rest

The only winger that will be real upgrade and not just what might have been potentiallly world class is Mbappe.

And Mbappe will never join our club for any circumstances.

So yeah real dire the market for trully world class winger that a clear upgrade for our squad out there.

But but, we have plenty of cover there in Palmer and Bernardo
