It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I expect the club to not bullshit. The reason we don't have replacements is because we failed at finding them. Don't try to sell it to me that actually the squad is good and we have a ton of great options. If we did you wouldn't be frantically searching for a replacement.

Who said we’re “frantically searching” for a replacement?

You don't think the midfielder hunt this summer from Bellingham, to keeping gundo, to rice, to paqueta suggests we really aren't happy with our options in midfield? I would classify that as at least somewhat frantic. Which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that. But when it's all said and done I just don't wanna hear "Actually, we planned to go with what we have all along!"

They got mullered at our place. Absolutely blitzed. They barely laid a glove on us, home and away.

It was a brilliant game of football. We we're certainly the better side at The Etihad and could have scored 5 or 6.

Having said that, Bayern had numerous opportunities and also could have scored a couple against us. I thought they were really good and played some seriously good football especially getting our if our press numerous times.

Easily the best team that came to The Etihad last season by a country mile.

No, just if the club value Cole, Mcatee , bob and Rico just play them this season. See what they can do. If it doesn’t work out , it doesn’t work out. See what this insane Market is like next summer.

The same Bernardo who was Player of the Season the last time he directly filled in for a long term Kev injury? Seemed to have won the Prem that season too.

Yes that one. We play in a different system now and if we don't sign players we will regret it.

Literally don’t think I’ve seen anyone claim that “we planned to go with what we have all along”? Happy to be proved wrong though, of course.

That wasn’t the question I asked anyway. You seem to be making a series of strawmen arguments here.

Not really. We replaced Gundogan with Kovacic.

We wanted to buy Bellingham as a long term project. He turned us down. It happens.

We didn’t really want Rice, but might have taken him had he wanted to come here. He didn’t. It happens.

KDB then gets injured for 4 months and things then take a more intense turn.

Paqueta was next. Negotiations on a fee were underway. West Ham stalled a bit and in the meantime, we find out Paqueta is a spot fixer, potentially, and walk away.

We weren’t ready for that bombshell.

We’ll still have names on our list. There’s time left and Txiki and Pep don’t tend to panic.

Trust the process.
