It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

This has been very poor transfer window in transfer sense for every team so far.

Why? Arsenal are strengthening with Califiori, looking at Ruiz and strikers. Villa have made good signings to add needed depth for CL. United have added a potentially WC CB and a very talented no 10. Spurs have signed the best talent in the Championship. Chelsea are looking to sign a back up 5th keeper.

Think quite a few teams are happy so far with their windows and prospective deals.

PSR working well.

And like I've said before Sky won't allow this to continue.
They need a busy window to keep viewers tuning in.

Do you think olmo and kante would accept being squad players??

Yes because we play so many games in so many competitions. And usually guarantee a trophy. Plus, Pep.

What you are watching is the Premier League committing commercial suicide with its own made up rules rather than let City dominate it. That mixed with too much football. Straight from the end of the season into the Euro’s then on to the Olympics. Not got time for medicals etc.

Or you could look at it another way.

Arsenal's only confirmed signing so far is Raya, who was at the club already last season and has just joined permanently.

Liverpool haven't signed anyone and at the moment there don't appear to be strong links with anyone, either. They've also changed manager which can go way or the other.

Villa have lost one of their best players in Luiz and replaced him with Everton's Onana. Diaby was only there a year but looked decent, and has moved on already. Maatsen may prove to be a good player, bags of potential there. Ross Barkley on a free adds some depth, as do guys they got from Juventus, but we're not talking game changers here.

That's the Champions League clubs, so those you'd consider our main rivals. So it's frustrating that City are quiet so far, but no-one else is taking great leaps so far on terms of squad quality or depth, either.

A top class dm back up? Just don't see anybody willing to be a back up to rodri who's top draw. Kimmich would have been perfect first choice rb who could cover rodri at dm to a very high level. I see us bringing in a world class 8 but next summer to compliment rodri and foden

Sorry mate I meant a hybrid 6/8? We really should have done Bruno to be honest

 

[Tevez City]

Is @tolmie's hairdoo more optimistic than Pep this summer ?

I don't think we had to do much more than that transfer, but what do we know? Maybe he wasn't 100% committed to the move? We've spent that money on Jack before, so pushing the boat out for someone who desperately wants it shouldn't be a problem, and I doubt we'd have left him, high and dry if he wanted us that much and we wanted him.

Let's hope Rodri doesn't get injured for any length of time, I like Kovacic but if he has to play the 6 role for any length of time I feel it will cost us.

Yeah I no what u are saying but realistically we can't sign a very good dm back up on the chance that rodri picks up an injury I just don't see any player that good accepting that role for us. Phillips is all the proof u need to hard it is to pick up a back up dm good enough to cover rodri and not push for more game time at the right price.
