It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Should never of left tbh

Lets be honest in hindsight yeah but sometimes these lads need the experience and mature first and some naturally dont need to and just fit in.

Why, what was the better offer on the table ?

Surely the buy back fee is his true worth?

 

[Zenmanc]

For the way we play Ederson is the best keeper out there, end of story.

Oh- make no mistake, i love the guy. He's a force unlike no other. His only flaw is a result of his relentlessness- it's not a bad thing just impossible to be perfect everywhere.

I'll take a raging bull who charges out and makes strikers brown their shorts who gives up a few goals as a result to one who can barely touch the ball with their foot without it sailing in the wrong direction whilst clinging to their goal post and goal line for dear life.

I remember it was Port Vale hardly non league and also I accept not Barca
Oh we won 4:1 so I guess Stones did his job
I agree he needs to improve by the way but it’s funny how people make facts fit
I also note that you say Koulibaly can , well that remains to be seen I guess
You don’t become a professorial international footballer without fight

"You don’t become a professorial international footballer without fight "

I would disagree , a England cap is hardly a sign of a great player anymore!

It's suck it and see when you buy a player for a different position to the one they consistently play and earn their reputation on.

Interestingly on who scored.com Last season’s ratings:

Maguire 7.27
Koulibaly 7.19

I get what your saying but I think you will be surprised by Ake, Laporte back on top of his game will be something else to behold and Denayer is so much better than people give him credit for.

Laporte, Ake, stones, denayer Plus the quality kids coming through would be enough.

Laporte will take that Kompany role up - maturing into it this year with Ake who is a lot more vocal than Kompany ever was bossing the line I think.

I don’t think the back line looks too back now, without looking for perfection it’s a solid unit now that will do.

Let’s not forget that Kompany, great as he was had some frailty and had the comfort of De Jong, then Fernandinho bossing the defensive midfield, THAT is where we feel a little lightweight now for me.

Denayer? Is he in the academy or have I gone back in time to 2015?

 

[Chappie]

He wasn't good enough the first time and he certainly wasn't good enough the second time.
So we won't be buying him a third time so that figure is meaningless

Really that’s a strange one
Every kid at school wants to be a footballer there are very few that make it
Every pro footballer wants to be an international big competition requires big fight just to make it

Spot on about Denayer when i watched him play against us numerous times he has matured well as a defender.

Denayer played alongside VVD at Celtic and at the time I said he was excellent and as, if not more effective than his partner. He never got a chance at City. Shame as he has turned out a wonderful player.

Not true, it's more difficult to get into a top 4 English Premier league team than it is to get an England cap.
