It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

With txiki looking for a right winger and in light of Arda Güler’s €17m release clause coming out today, could he be a good option? We have been said to have had interest before, an 18 year old wonder kid who plays both RW & CAM, could potentially be a great Bernardo replacement. In the Turkish league this season, he has had 6 G & 7 A all comps.
 
I could see us signing 1 RW if Palmer stays or 2 including a young prospect if he goes. Alvarez will play out wide in my opinion as Foden looks destined for the middle.

Who are the RW options? Chiesa? Chukweze?

Problem is how do you keep two absolute top keepers happy

He’s coming up to 200 career appearances. At 30 YO’s, he might be at a point in his career where he’d prefer to be a cup goalkeeper (with occasional European / league appearances where possible), if it means he can stock up some winners medals and memories. If I were him, I know I’d rather be doing that than telling the grandkids I battled for a European spot (depending on which teams are interested).

Same as this year because he’s happy.

Things can change very quickly though. Easy to take for granted that we got through most competitions. We could have just as easily been knocked out by Southampton, beaten in the FA Cup 3rd round and been fighting for qualification in the CL which would have meant Ederson plays 99% of the games and Ortega is on the bench.

If he wants to stay then fair play, we can sell Steffen and Trafford to bring in some extra income.

We aren't a club that just gives up on players easily. So if this is true, it means Pep has concluded that he probably doesn't have the qualities to succeed under him. That is concerning.

I think "concerning" is a tad over the top. He may just not be up to it. This happens now and again. Replaceable.

The bloke just won an FA Cup, he's one Ederson injury away from starting every game for the best club on the planet.

3 years ago he'd never played first division football.

The guy is pinching himself. He's not going anywhere.

It's the exact same news being recycled over & over for the last two months.

He swore on stage during the Tr3bl3 celebrations, meaning he's definitely one of us now! :-)

The league campaign commences the Glorious 12th and the transfer window closes on September 1st, so he'll have preseason and 4-5 games to have staked his claim. If he's still not featuring, then he might need someone to read his Yorkshire tea leaves for him.
