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

[Keeper!]

Its nothing to do with blue specs, its about being able to react to what is fact and what is perceived. You said pep looked really pissed off at his prezzer yesterday and have assumed that to be transfer or club related

If his demeanor is an indication of our season, it's going to be long and difficult.

He looked utterly pissed, he actually made me angry, he gave off very bad vibes.

Hopefully he was having a very bad day because if not things don't look good.

Yes of course it does, take off the blue glasses, their is loyalty and blind loyalty.

There is something not right this summer, that was totally clear looking at Pep yesterday.

Personally I think the wheels fell off when the Messi deal collapsed (if it has, still wishful thinking), if he would have signed I would have expected Pep & Aguero to extend plus it would attract other players.

The quality of this thread has been notably poor in the last few pages. People seem to be descending into hysteria.

The reaction when things don’t go exactly to plan is doom and gloom. Ball not kicked but the team is full of crap players. Liverpool this Chelsea that, the city fans have gone loco ese.

All we had to do was find a right sided central defender to play for one of the wealthiest and successul clubs in the Premier League.

In the world!

Again you are reacting to what you perceive. If that makes you angry, that's your issue

For all we know he could have been caught short and touching cloth was imminent

All the kids think they are Sancho and will do better elsewhere.

Do you think Tosin would be better off staying ?

I don't think we can just sign such a player though & we need another in the squad.

It's always been obvious to anyone who cares about defending, that Vinny was the heart of it. Pep knew it. He played him whenever he could.

Personally I think Pep is Arsene Wenger when it comes to a back 4. He tells the players how to work within his system & then they try to use their knowledge to defend within it. George Graham's players passing their wisdom on were the key to Wenger's defence & at City, it has stopped with Vinny because of the players we signed not being quite the right characters.

I think this is why we keep being linked with slow, ageing defenders.

But right now we need players with the ability to start with imo. If Stones would get his shit together, it wouldn't be such a problem.

Stones should be given the chance to resurrect his career, or play Garcia and make it clear that he has a future here as a central defender in the Premier League. These are for sure very talented players, and we should be able to manage them to get their full potential at our club.

Sometimes stuff happens that's beyond our control or beyond what we know so we can not conclude too much but we surely should not be playing Otamendi or Fernandinho. That's clearly ridiculous.

I think if the window was closed I'd be disappointed with our business.

At the start of the window I was thinking lots of clubs will want cash at the moment but not many clubs have any. Then FFP was altered to encourage spending. I thought if ever there was a time to make hay while the sun shines this is it.

It's not turned out like that so far and I don't think that is necessarily City's fault. Watching Khaldoon I'm sure he is/was expecting a total of 4 to 5 additions.

I still believe that is the case and we will get a couple of more players in. Our net spend is hardly anything so far. I don't think we will sit on that money and will end up using it wisely.

It's nerve wracking but interesting too.

The time to judge is two weeks on Monday. Until then we have a strong squad.

I think Pep is over exaggerating about Aguero's time to return out of frustration. I'm no body language expert but Pep looked and sounded as pissed off as I'd ever seen him yesterday.

The Messi deal was fantasy, he was never a City player in a million years.

He wanted to leave Barca for all the wrong reasons.

2017 was the time, not now.

And if Pep was only going to extend because Messi was coming , that's a sad state of affairs.

Your right, but that should also tell you, it is not that simple else we would have
