It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

He has no business being our captain. Imagine Ruben, Rodri or KDB acting like that. It would never happen. Great player, though.
Did I read players vote on captains once window shuts. The players you mention will know what's right and who to choose.
I like walker a lot but hope he doesn't go all big bolllocks because he knows we didn't want to lose him
 
Sorry that doesn't fit your man crush on Palmer.
Glad we've got a CEO who put business before emotions.
Don't build a winning team and a global brand on sentiment.

Haha fuck off. Man crush. Guess Khaldoon has one too! Orrr people just value different things in football. I'm a football fan, not a spreadsheet fan. Hardly surprising I'm siding with feeling on this.
 
Things to get completed today?

- Nunes to sign
- Cole Palmer to seal his move
- Cancelo likely to get jos move to Barcelona, probably for fuck all.
- Barco? or can that happen any time if he's staying there
- McAtee's loan
- Find a move for Zack Steffen (might be complicated with his injury)
- Doyle's exit to finalise.

no mention of any names for a supposed surprise last minute arrival, imo seems highly unlikely.


If most of the above happens, we go into the season with 20 out of the 21 players, same as last year. Only Foden as CT, and only Rico as a 'seen with the team' academy player. Albeit others that haven't had the chance yet may get a go here and there.

I hope Mcatee might stay mate or if he goes i hope we have a surprise loan lined up or we are running pretty thin again with the amount of games we have again this season and the lack of break for our lads this summer.

I also think Harwood-Bellis is rumored to join Southampton on loan.
 
Ederson
Ortega
Walker
Lewis
Dias
Akanji
Stones
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Nunes
Kovacic
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Foden
Grealish
Doku
Alvarez
Haaland

Hell of a list of main top players there! Supplemented by the likes of Phillips, Bobb, Mcatee (hopefully!) and Gomez?

I wouldn’t include Lewis in the main list, not just yet, so that leaves 18 players, two of whom are injured, and a goalkeeper. For me, over the course of the season, that means that, if he even uses the bench, Guardiola will predominantly call upon those main players.

I thought last year that in any one game, the experienced players could ‘carry’ one youngster, for example Lewis, but that things became harder when we fielded two from the supplementary list and downright difficult with three. With the loss of experience and four new players added to the main list, and the time that will take for them all to gel, we might not have the stability to field even one. For that reason, I reckon McAtee will leave today and that Lewis and Bobb will be the ‘fifth men’ in won games. Just my musings.

I think personally we are one attacking option light mate in fairness and it would be nice to make a deadline day signing but it seems unlikely unfortunately.
