It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Rice may mean we go 2 DMs and more traditional fullbacks if we get into that market, and have the 3-2 formation as a backup in case of emergency

I think Pep will tweak players roles over the summer going forward with this formation. He invented it based around the players we had at the time but we might see a slight change in that going forward. For instance Rodri/Rice playing in front of 3. Rice has every ability to drop back if needed and can also carry the ball.

My only thinking is that’s surely not why we wanted to sign Bellingham and Rice is an alternative to Bellingham. So maybe we will still see Stones/Rodri and see rice as a box to box, or even Stones/Rice and Rodri getting more freedom.

Might as well close the transfer section down, since Txiki and Pep knows best, whats the point of fans having opinions about transfers anymore? ”What do I think about this player? Dont know, have to ask Txiki first since his opinion is apparently also my opinion”

Well sorry but no one really wants to read you having a hissy fit because the best manager in the history of football likes Declan Rice, but @Vester or whoever wrote the original comment thinks he’s no improvement on Kalvin Phillips and the club can’t afford him.


There’s plenty of ways of discussing transfers and sharing our own opinions on players without trying to pretend we know better than the people who’ve made this club the best side in world football with a 90%+ success rate for transfers and can predict somethings going to be a disaster.

I don’t think Rice will join but I’m sure Pep will use him more as a b2b rather than a pivot with Rodri

The best manager in the history of football also liked Kalvin Phillips. Sorry, didn't know this was a cult and that we are not allowed to have our own opinions, only opinions that are the same as Tixikis are allowed. I have seen Declan Rice play 50+ times but now when I just read that Pep and Txiki likes him I no longer think he is mediocre, I now think he is world class. Unless they dont buy him, then I think he's mediocre again. Or whatever they think, since we are apparently not capable to have our own opinions about a player, we should just think whatever this other person think. Like all smart people do.

 

[OB1]

So he would replace Rodri ?

No. As if.

They can play together.

You could just do what I said, which is express your personal reservations about the player while conceding that Guardiola knows what he's doing and the club is in safe hands so there's no reason to break out the chicken little impression.

Bear in mind the comment I replied to didn't just give their opinion, they were lambasting other users for not sharing their doom-mongering.

A nice way to get the Gvardiol price down?

Loan them Doyle and palmer to sweeten the deal

FFS Barnes has a ring to it alright.

I can picture him signing his contract...
