It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

maybe Peps last contract here

Stop panicing.

Pep has to know he will NEVER EVER get a job as good as City..

- No Barca Politics
- No Bayern kissing up to historical figures
- A clean slate to do what he likes, even bench the best players like Aguero if he feels they're not doing enough.

Where the hell is he going to go to manage next?

The Saudi or Qatar league for more money like Lillo? We can easily match those sums.

Just cross your fingers he doesn't think about retirement for another 10 years as he now has Erling to mold into a football player.

Would love him to stay another 20 years.

Forget the Romano tweet.

City agreed personal terms with Kovacic almost two months ago.

Jus5 commented on his tweet saying pretty much the same thing.
Just another chancer trying to.mske a name for himself...same as that other tosser who ended up even getting onto sky sports

WTF is a clutch player? Seen it a few times recently on here

 

[Del_Bosque]

so what do we think current state of play is?

Gueriro a Gomez/Cancelo replacement
Gvaridol a Laporte replacement
Kovacic a Phillips replacement

Roughly an even net spend there as long as Cancelo isn't a loan again

Looking likely Gundo renews

Then it just depends on Bernardo and Palmer staying/going who else we bring in, maybe McAtee gets a season

steps up and delivers in the big moments. (Title run in gundo etc)

It's an American thing, means turns up in the big moments Yaya at Wembley, Gundo in title run ins, KDB in big games etc

Someone who produces when the pressure is on. The higher the stakes, the better they do.

But Kovacic I imagine isn’t the main midfielder signing mate?

Agree the plan would, I assume to have Bellingham to go alongside these 2 lads but where as I am very confident we could get these 2 across the lines not so convinced on Bellingham deal and not sure who comes in as plan b.

With the lack of any announcement on Bellingham it could still happen I suppose .

Think kovacic is a very decent player and he will step up when he works with pep.....he Is a lot like gundo except he isn't a goal scorer...very good in tight spaces, good dribbler and good at fast paced passing and move ..press resistance is good and he works his bollocks off which pep loves.....we know how the club likes players of a certain type of character.....I always get the feeling its why we didn't pursue pogba to the very limit for instance

 

[simon23]

Don't think he's anything special tbh, and if we were signing him I'd be gutted.

Disagree ...think Mount is a decent player
