It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

5/10 window if nobody else arrives, 7/10 if Doku only arrives, 10/10 if Doku and top creative midfielder arrive

Pep going full happy flowers to the fans!

I'm so so happy with my squad

We should just go for Kudus now, has a bunch of versatility as well.

I think the fact that City are 'hurriedly' looking for alternatives for Paqueta (who was 3rd or 4th choice) demonstrate it's been a bit shit. We shouldn't be in this situation in a position that the club view as one of need.

Targets should've been identified as soon as last season ended. I can't imagine we only had Kovacic and Gvardiol as our only targets

Except that they have no idea that we are hurrying or in a panic but it will draw readers in.

Hurriedly in general or hurriedly for us?

We pulled out of the Rice deal end of June and we are now pulling out of the 3rd choice 6 weeks later. At least a month is Usain Bolt speed for us.

Chelsea double swoop for Paqueta and Doku, who would be surprised?

Must be just me, I'm totally relaxed about the situation, maybe just maybe we will have to give youth more of a chance,, all for it me

You're happy with the fact we've missed out on three midfield targets and have been left scrambling for another target? Our best midfielder is out for half the season and we've already seen we lack creativity without De Bruyne. I'm all for giving youth a chance but you can't expect McAtee etc to come in and instantly be the solution.

I'm not relaxed about the situation (think we should get a creative midfielder & a winger as it happens) BUT not in the least bothered if we miss out on both Paqueta & Doku.

Not good enough, either of them.
