It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I reckon paying £150m for the rights to Anthony Joshua would be a better business decision for City than paying £150m for Antony, the winger.

Marc Antony?

 

[Cobwebcat]

Wife not care for that sadly

Leave wife?

Midfield 5 positions
Midfield 7 players (Foden, Silva, Grealish, Doku, Nunes, Kovacic, Rodri)

5/7 = each plays 70% of games. (Except we know that Rodri will be more like 80%)

Also we have extras to cover (Lewis, Gomez, Bobb and Phillips) so you'd think we'd be safe till KDB returns.

But I'd still love a bonus surprise from a foreign league to be extra safe.

“Bonus Surprise” sounds like the name of an African player we might sign.

Lol. But true.

Given our net spend is 50m or thereabouts, and apparently we had a 300m war chest due to winning so many trophies why have we been so parsimonious?

You sound like a 13 year old girl with amazon prime membership.

Does anyone know how much we have spent, and how much we have got from sales this window?

 

[samuelyeboah]

I may be missing something, but I'll go and say no it isn't. I was including Kev

We started last season with 21 senior players. 20 out of 21, and 1 CT. plus academy. We are starting this season exactly the same, 20+1 plus academy players.

Cancelo was effectively replaced by Lewis
Gundo replaced by Kovacic
Mahrez replaced by Doku
Laporte replaced by Gvardiol
Palmer will hopefully be replaced by Bobb

That's everyone that left, so that leaves you with Nunes as an addition.

 

[Kladze]

He’s probably a better fit to our system than Doku is, so he may get some more minutes whilst Pep retrains Doku.

Might be time to get Bobb his own chant if he gets minutes.

Bobb the winger
Can he fix it?
Bobb the winger
Yes, he can!

 

[JewelZee]

You think Phillips won't get a single minute?

And you think the three of them won't get 1000 minutes combined?

Philips and Gomez alone had over 1600 minutes between them last year, so I'll happily take both those bets.

I won't get into the minutes debate but I will concur with EdersonsSmiley that Phillips, Gomez, and Bobb are not Champions of Europe viable depth...
