It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Tugay One Cup]

The Quietest summer in the past decade

I was just trying to remember the last time we had a transfer window this shit.

It will say we haven't replaced Omar Berrada as our transfer guy. Who is overseeing incoming deals now?

Kalvin Phillips gonna have a lot of spare time :-)

In terms of spending so little, are we going back to the Pearce window when we signed, Mills, Thatcher, and De Vlieger?

It's, in all likelihood, Pep's last season. We were never going to bring in many new players. The new manager could have a completely different view on what he wants, and I know Pep says he has no say on the players Txiki brings in, but we all know that's BS, right?

BS from the same place you think this is Pep’s last season eh?

Well that all depends - let’s be honest De Bruyne came in before Pep…..but Pretty sure Pep had influence on this move.
So it wouldn’t surprise me if City already know who the next manager is and they maybe get 1 or 2 players in that the next manager wants ….

Gives them time to become acclimatized to City and hit the ground running for new manager

Now that is what I call forward thinking. If true.

Not happening anytime soon if ever. The next manager will be a Pep disciple.

In terms of anything really. Just nothing happening.

very flat so far, luckily all around not just for us of course lot can change a whole month left of the window.
surprised at Liverpool not backing Slot yet or Maresca not getting 1/2 big names in. (compared of the frenzy Tuchel, Potter, Pochettino got)

around May it was more likely Salah opts for Saudi offers and a big cash in on him, he is in same situation of being in last 12 months like KDB. for them not get a big fee for him seems a bigger issue than us not getting a fee for KDB. (how the fuck they got 40m for washed up Fabinho tho when Mahrez and Laporte both went for about 30/40% less...)

Arse also went big last summer Rice, Raya, Timber, Havertz about 200m spent (and they only pay Raya now this summer), compared to that Calafiori so far not that big of a window albeit he was rather cheap despite the Euros hype. expect their defence be even better tho as Timber is decent and was injured most season and Calafiori can add to that too.

not much from Barcodes either. they must hoping not to lose any more starter and Tonali come back with a point to prove. but nobody coming in to improve first 11 yet...

rags with Mazraoui, Yolo, Zirkzee, well bit better transfers than the very much overpriced Mount, Antony, Sancho type of shit deals lol, funny they also keep adding more coaches too to the staff to explain and help Ten Hag what to do.:))
quite interesting background talks there I imagine. "its great what you do, but we bring in 3 guys so you can work together because without those 3 you are fucking shit"
