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

[Silvercloud]

I hope there’s some truth to the rumour (that I just made up) that Spurs are considering our offer of £30m plus Mahrez for Son.

Not a chance will Levy (or indeed any other chairman) sanction that move. Swales on the other hand.

Tagliafico is available for 25 million apparently thats a steal

Yes. Again this should have been strategized beforehand.. Not after another poor mendy show.

I guess IF we move on Zini, only then we will go for him

Or maybe players would have done better at City than elsewhere? Sanchez has been brilliant in Italy, and joins a long list of players who went to United with big reputations, did awfully, and have been back to their best since leaving.

Sanchez wouldn't have been 'as' bad, but he was already looking jaded at Arsenal & folks saying it was just because he was 'rusty'

Jorginho would have added a weakness, rather than a strength.

Maguire would be better than Garcia, but who isn't ?

Pogba ? Being outclassed by Bruno Fernandes. Fred ?

This is incredibly short sighted. It wasn't that long ago people were giddy and saying Pep improved every single player he worked with, now the side's form has dipped and suddenly everyone's gone backwards.

He's improved most players on the ball but has improved none of the defenders, defensively imo.

If he presented a coaching video of his back 4 defending over a season, he could put a laughter track with it

We are in decline, we have players going backwards, things are not good and if you can't see that your kidding yourself.

Yeahh everything is terrible, we're in terminal decline, and by November we could be top of the league and the side is rebuilt when someone of the signings have bedded in, and others have found a bit of rhythm.

No time to find rhythm this season, full in your face from day one, that's why recruitment had to be right.

Or maybe we can take a step back & look at the whole situation- taking into account injuries which have resulted in players having to play out of position. We’ve got great players, & according to the neutrals, have made some great signings in Ake & Dias.

Think we only have squad room if Zinchenko goes for a left back so maybe there has been movement on that allowing us to move for a left back. Doubt it was decided last night we needed one.

We need to win the title back,but it's gonna be hard without new players,and even harder if he plays certain individuals like yesterday.

Do you think any more will come in before next Tuesday Tolmie. Obviously Dias looks like it's all but done but anyone else?.

True, we have not been linked to any LB. And as is being discussed, our transfer business is not as discreet as it used to be.

So would be pleasantly surprised if we are close to signing him
