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

[domalino]

I’m completely goosed with that one Tolm.
any clues?

have a gander at the thread you might get some hints.

The short answer is Havertz, Kane or Joao Felix are the top nominees for unlikely transfer #5.

Four after Torres, but a slight hope for a very big and surprising fifth.

Citizen K?

Is it a baby goose? We're signing Gosling from Bournemouth!

In a vacuum, yes, but looking at the reality I don't agree. Liverpool finished on 99 points. We would've needed more than that to win the title, or in other words, replicate or improve upon the best attacking season ever in English football history (City 17/18). With Laporte, we would have probably finished with 90+ points, but not above 99. To bridge that gap, we need more reliable finishers. We missed Sane's 20+ goal+assists this season.

Sane's 20+ goals + assists???

You'd have been lucky to get that out of him. In the whole of his career with City he made 90 appearances and scored 25 goals in total - so 20+ goals in a season wouldn't have been the Sane we knew.

I think we all look back and remember his moments of brilliance . . and forget that he often went missing for game after game.

Torres, followed by...
1. Ake
2. Steffen
3. Koulibaly or some other top CB
4. LB?
5. Big surprise signing

But we don't. If Laporte was fit or we had a very good left sided back up (which I believe Aké to be) then we would have won without Kompany. We have dozens and dozens of games worth of proof that Laporte + A.N. Other is good enough to win 9/10 games and the league.

I don't think the club want to go in with just Aké, I don't think we will, but it would have been enough last summer to get us the title this year.

Laporte has probably played 3 games this season vs good opposition when there's been something to play for.

Tottenham start of the season
Leicester for top 4
Arsenal in the Fa Cup

We won one of those games.

I meant 20+ (goals + assists), not (20+ goals) + assists

10 goals, 15 assists in the league in 17/18
10 goals, 10 assists in the league in 18/19
