It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Noticed something Pep always talks about duels in the midfield. Well Guimaraes and Paqueta are two of the highest stat wise in ground duels won , blocks and interceptions.

Both can be creative as well. Also very hard working. A midfield two of Rodri and Guimaraes would be a very stable base. Both compliment each other with one being better than the others at specific things. Guimaraes better at blocks , interceptions and ground duels.

Then Paqueta is a hard working creative midfielder we’d basically be adding two engines to the midfield
Can't see us playing a 3 of Rodri,Paqueta,Guimaraes, and leaving KDB and Foden out of the midfield. If they are who we are looking at it will be one or the other not both.
 
Salah looking out of dips. Would you take him for a couple of seasons?
As a transition signing, & he was free or very cheap? Why not? He wouldn't have to move, & a change of scenery after Klopp might do him good.

HOWEVER, IF he does leave the Dippers, he's nailed on to follow Mahrez to Saudi I reckon. They saw Salah & Mahrez as their two Arab statement signing, but only got the one. They'll offer Mohammed a king's ransom to make that move imo...

Most probably but it would boil dip piss all summer if we had any interest in the player.

Maybe offer them Phillips in exchange. So they can get used to midtable again -:)

The Dippers were one of several clubs interested in giving us our money back for Philips last summer, but he wanted to remain & fight for his place.

Albeit being obvious now, City were willing to listen to purchase & loan offers, & Kalvin knew this judging by his 'stay & fight' statements to the media when the speculation became public.

Edit: I've just seen this touchline spat between substitute Salad & Klopp...
