It's Quiet - a new dawn

It would really be interesting when Alves told City about his change of heart, assuming he had verbally agreed to join us before.

Not really.

He's a professional just like Pep and Txiki are. Players choose clubs that can offer them the best package. If Pep has such an issue with Alves for joining a side who are paying him more money and allows him to be closer to his wife then it says more about Pep than Alves.

did you see what was actually written ??? he was digging like fuck in the end hahaha quite funny

Nah I didn't but I can tell he believed his mate.

Anyway, I don't think we can spin this in a way that's great. They need to secure the rest of the targets, sharpish. By the sounds of it, Mendy cut short his hols after meetings from an English club representative - hopefully us, but it may also mean we were aware of Alves joining PSG.

I don't see why people are panicking about the full back situation. Our full backs were that shite last season that there are at least two dozen full backs around Europe who would automatically improve us.



We could do a lot worse that going all out for Bertrand and Cedric from Southampton. They are both decent footballers with the stamina and pace to improve our attack as well as defence.

Valencia, Porto and Benfica have also got some decent full backs and they are clubs who are prone to selling their best players.

Cedric been my first choice since watching him last season best right back in league by a distance last season. Could probably pick him up for 25m too.

He's a very tidy player and has always looked decent when I've seen him.

Maybe I'm overrating him because I don't rate Walker but I do think he would be a top signing for us.

Totally agree if Alves changed his mind Txixi cannot be held responsible nor anyone else for that matter. However, I am sure Pep will ensure we end up with the right players. No way will he go into another season with one hand tied behind his back and why should he. As others have said let's get the walker deal done and let Pablo prove his worth as backup.

Seen him play very well on the world stage with Portugal and premier league with saints a safe investment in my eyes.

You guys seem to rate him more than Southampton fans do.

That other Portuguese full back looked a tidy player as well. I think he was a LB who might have moved to Dortmund a few seasons back.

Who was it and where was it? A bit of light relief would be welcome.

cant be bothered trawling, but he said alves was going to be number 5,until it was pointed out that stones had chosen number 5,he changed it to number 15 sagna old number, it was then pointed out that sagna was number 3 :) funny at the time
