It's Quiet - a new dawn

[Daz_Blue]

Is there a 4pm presser today?...

Nope ....cones are in the shed

 

[TonyM]

Are we getting new cones this year and if so are we mandated to get English ones?

I personally find our lack of urgency on the fullback positions quite staggering to be honest. was delighted with ederson and bernardo coming in so quick but to be starting back in pre season training with no new full backs is bemusing to say the least. yes I know the season doesn't start for a while yet but these areas should have been sorted first. we should have also known that other clubs had realised that we had released all our decent fullbacks and were going to be looking at high prices due to our urgent needs.

It seems very strange the manager we have craved for years finally shows up and is not given unlimited funds and every player he wants . Richer than God and Cheeky Pickaxenose seems to be more of an El boy Trotter , spanish fly in the Bradford ointment.

I personally find some users desperate need to feel panicked and have a reason to complain about the sky falling down quite staggering to be honest.

We've nailed down all our targets on personal terms, they aren't going anywhere which is more than United or Chelsea managed to do this summer. Dani Alves will arrive and the delay was his wedding, Mendy will arrive this week as per latest reports, the Sanchez dance is nearing the end, and Walker is a negotiation where everyone seems to be happy to haggle.

If Guardiola wanted Walker to be a City player tomorrow more than anything, Begiristain would pay Levy and he'd be a City player. But he doesn't, he seems to be in no rush whatsoever as long as nearly everyone is on board the plane to the USA next friday, and has said he's delighted with our business when asked at public events, he's not leaking to the press how unhappy he is like Conte or Mourinho.

Just relax and watch our transfer business calmly unfold while our rival's run around trying to "gazump" each other or pay massively over the odds for their 2nd, 3rd or 4th choices. It'll be done when it's done, and with plenty of time before the season begins.

Embarrassing and cringy

you`re like a broken record at times mate! I was just pointing out that I find it strange that we don't have fullbacks in place already? considering even the chairman said in his interview that full backs are the most important position in peps formation then it would be logical to think it would have been sorted by now?

No to the first question you pose and I've no idea to the second, but sincerely hope you haven't!
This is the problem with BM, you ask a reasonable question and you get some crap from someone who can't be bothered to read (and interpret) things properly but just wants to try and look clever.

I'm not suggesting all first targets are dead am I?? I'm merely saying that you would expect the club to have secondary targets and not to just assume that everything will be fine (or is this your approach to life) And so a reasonable question is who do people think are our secondary or tertiary targets.

Based on what we heard a while back

Fullbacks: semedo, grimaldo, dalbert, aurier.

Sanchez: dembele

Mystery CB (who id guess is alderweireld): inigo Martinez

One who used to pop up a lot was the Ox too.

We do have them in place. Alves, Mendy, Bertrand and Walker are all going to come, it's just a matter of letting the show play out.

Again, if Pep thought having fullbacks in today's training session was the biggest priority then Walker and Mendy would be there for whatever fee Monaco & Spurs demand, but he's obviously happy for Begiristain to keep negotiating.
