It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

No because he has been our manager for the last 8 years and you hear and see how he operates and behaves in public.

Yes, and one thing we all know is he doesn’t hang around if he doesn’t trust and feel comfortable in any situation. He may have liked this player or that, he might also fully understand and be on board for whatever reasons we haven’t moved for those players, when those reasons were explained . We are all guessing and putting our own prejudices on those guesses.
 
Next summer transfer window, if Ipswich go down they are going to get raided. That Jacob Greaves is so similar to Stones and Leif Davis is a very good defender

while all of the above is indeed true the other side of that coin is that the knowledge you have of his less public persona is what the press has told you so once again do you believe what they say, all im saying is what you are putting forward is confirmation bias because of how you perceive the current state of the squad and you want to be right over what pep says.

Im not saying you are wrong in some parts of where we are as a squad but if he says he is happy to go then ill go with that and tbf i would like to give youth a chance, is o'reilly ready to go 100% now but how is any player going to breakthrough like bobb, lewis and foden if we sign a 100m backup option.

With the way the club have backed him previously and given him everything he could possibly need he knows to appreciate and respect just that.

We are all guessing what goes on behind closed doors, no one knows, not the so called ITK, not anyone.

We will see this week but I have to say I would be amazed if we are going as we are, yes we will compete for titles but I think it will be very, very difficult to achieve the PL or CL this season.

We were way ahead in terms of squad depth and quality but for me many have caught or are catching up.

In saying that I would NEVER doubt our players to go and win more titles, their hunger and desire is incredible.

I appreciate Alvarez contribution. I cannot recall what Alvarez did vs Arsenal or Real Madrid during his time here except the fourth goal at 4-0 Real. So I don't really see how it will affect us competing with Arsenal or Real.

Actually I think he was quite poor vs Arsenal away last season. And it made the midfield a total mess when pep insisted starting Halaand and Alvarez together vs decent teams. Recalling last season lose to Real I think a traditional striker with good header would help to gain from those corners. Not Alvarez game.

I agree CM situation is an issue.

He was a vital part of the squad particularly early season when KDB was injured then Haaland, take his goals and assists out we don't win the title.

As said Bobbs injury is a huge blow, he could have been the one to replace those goals/assists.
 
Do we need Gundo to leave Barcelona for them to stump up the cash for Cancelo ? That could be the catalyst for us getting someone in

Not sure they do, think they need to get rid of player(s) to register those they have. Not sure getting one out and one in helps. But not sure really.

alvarez was excellent goals and assists whilst kev was out, id put money kev would of created more and chipped in with a few as well,so we haven't lost anything really, i really liked the lad,

However 50 appearances last season in the league,champions league,and both cups ,he scored 17 goals , which isn't too shabby and assisted 12 times, (29 goal involvements)kev would of got that in the 5 months he missed.

With him going we are missing a body, not his goals and assists,but imo kev,oscar bobb and savinho will make up for and some.
