It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

To be fair I didn't even say good, I said OK. Using the West Ham as the yardstick as its the premier league and French league is hardly something you can rely on for how good players are.

Ultimately it doesn't really matter how much he costs if he is great he is great and we will all be happy but he really does need to be great to warrant a £70m price tag
I am just thinking about how Mahrez cost us £60m and the quality he had shown at Leicester vs what Paqueta has done at West Ham is very different.

Leicester won the league, West Ham were fighting relegation

Mahrez was Prem POY leading Leicester to the title. I can't make that comparison with Paqueta, but it's a different time. That Mahrez would be a 100 mil player today.

I do agree that at 70+ mil Paqueta will have to be excellent and an integral part of the squad's success. My own belief is that under Pep at City he will be...

I imagine Paqueta in will be us done in the market then mate

If no one else goes I’d say so yep.

Still interested what will happen with Palmer, McAtee.

Walker & Bernardo appear to be staying.

Laporte will go.

Think

Leicester won the league, West Ham were fighting relegation

Yes but there's a flip side to that logic.

Leicester won the league, Bournemouth were actually relegated.

And who was more important last year? Riyad Mahrez or Nathan Ake?

Less of the abuse of other posters, please. If you want to argue, take it to pms.

I would like to see us keep Palmer and McAtee of signing someone like Paqueta. Think they should both have priority over players like Gomez.

Depends on Phillips, maybe something is brewing in Brighton and not a winger

It’s Mitoma it’s been reported

It’s Mitoma it’s been reported

Just saying maybe it's not, Mitoma is a LW, no way is Grealish playing second fiddle to him

Here's my unlikely prediction.

OUT: Gundogan, Cancelo
IN: Kovacic, Gvardiol, Paqueta
SURPRISES: Laporte stays and Gvardiol moves into midfield quite often. Phillips stays. McAtee, Palmer and Bobb also stay.

(Edited lol. Is that too many players?)
