It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

like squad isnt already too small,we were lucky that rodri didnt get injured this season

Was it that small, weren’t we only one player off the maximum allowed ?

Id be very surprised if Kyle leaves for Bayern, absolute mismatch in culture and language for a Sheffield lad, can see him doing one more year and then joining another english club.

 

[not my fault!]

I’ve been waiting for rumours KDB wants away now he’s won a treble… I think it’s unlikely but I wouldn’t of been surprised, I can see a lot of them (older players) thinking about bowing out at the top.

If Pep does go in 2025 I'd rather go through this re-build now under his tutoring

We making room for our youth players to slot in! Pep wants to win the league with our youth team now

Hear he may be coming to Manchester but not to us

Yeah I saw that yesterday. £30-40m would supposedly be the fee.

Six months younger than Foden, European experience, insanely quick, dribbles like SWP, seems a good lad and spent nearly a decade in our academy. Wouldn't get in the way of Rico's development either because of their contrasting styles.

Fair to say I wouldn't be happy if he went to united. Maybe I'm spoilt but he ticks every box.

We can win the CL next season too. Too early for Kev to leave. He has unfinished business in CL finals...

IMO both yes and no . . Though 99% yes.
I agree with everything you say except the suggestion that Stones & Akanji can do what Walker can do.

Yes, Pep has played both Stones and Akanji at RB but never to do the job that Walker did. They’re both better than Walker at stepping into midfield in possession phases, and they’ve been played at RB - not ‘over Walker’ as such but when that has been tactically appropriate to employ their particular talents. Fact is that neither of them can ever do what Walker does because they’ll never have his speed. When a fast as fuck RB has been required Pep has never looked beyond Walker.
My concern in this is that Walkers blistering pace has regularly nullified the threat posed by very fast left wingers, wingers fast enough to leave Stones and Akanji in their dust trail.
If Walker does go then, while Stones et al can fill his spot by playing as excellent RB’s with ability to transition into midfield roles with panache, I hope we get a blisteringly fast replacement in asap because IMO there’ll be times that we need one.

Apparently, we have been scouting this lad several times recently.

Not many top top world class players about these days eh?

I struggle to see who could replace Gundogan & Bernardo.

Imagine losing

Bernardo
Gundogan
Mahrez
Walker
Laporte
Cancelo
Palmer

From an already small group lol this summer could be mental.

For the older blues remember Malcolm Allison's revolution? Regardless of what we had achieved we should have some limits

I'm still scarred.
