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

[richards30]

Without question we have improved but have we still missed an opportunity to improve way beyond our rivals? I have investments in Liverpool and have heard from people there that the dippers only spent when we seemed to hesitate and then didn’t get Messi? They expected more and have plunged to keep themselves ahead of us

Oh I've considered it alright and I don't agree with it, that's it.

If you think we're stronger and we've had a decent summer then good on you, my opinion is we ain't stronger, we've had a poor summer and we ain't going to win no League or Champions League this season and that frustrates to fuck out of me :( yes I'm greedy :)

I've had my say and I can't be arsed getting into arguments with people that don't agree with my opinion so I'm going to leave it here.

Struggling to see how we are not stronger, we could have been even stronger if we had bought Messi and Aouar as an example but from last season our squad is stronger.

We had no backup for Laporte last season, we had no RCB that Pep wanted to put on the pitch unless it was Fernandinho or a teenager. We have resolved both of them. We had no out and out winger other than Sterling, we have fixed that.

We have or will have moved out most of the deadwood in the team to reduce wages and get some cash in.

Silva, a tough one as he is a legend but his legs were gone last year. Someone like Foden simply being available for every game is again a strength. Silva had to play last year pretty much despite the problems it caused, we don't have to do that now.

"I can't be arsed getting into arguments with people that don't agree with my opinion", there's your problem as evidenced by your other posts. If someone doesn't share your opinion you don't need to 'get into an argument', you can just debate the point. You come across as very angry.

Look pal you won't convince me otherwise. It's been a shit window (AGAIN MY FUCKING OPINION) and it'll be proved correct when we struggle again this season.

You're bigging up Dias like he's some VVD (Hope he is) he hasn't played a fucking game for us yet and he's not even the 1st choice Pep wanted.

Ake again will be squad rotation, I'll agree he's better than Ota.

We have a 35 year old Fernandinho still playing a major part in our side.

Aguero is a crock and will miss many games

Silva not replaced (don't give me the Foden bollocks)

We're left with 1 LB and continue to use a midfielder / RB as cover

But ye we're stronger than last year haha.

Ruben has replaced Otamendi

Ake is a backup lcb we didn't have last year

And Torres has replaced the injured Sane

That is already an improvement without Steffan for Bravo.

Granted we've lost Dave but he would have been a bit part player this year so improved we are like it or not.

Think thats nonsense they were in for Thiago all summer, Jota was the only addition after Messi.Even if true it would be a stupid way to plan a transfer window.

Bravo for Steffan is an improvement.

Otamendi for Ruben potentially a big improvement.

Added Ake as a Laporte backup, big improvement. Ferna and Garcia just aren't as good as Ake (in that position)

Lost Silva.

Sané for Torres, sane didn't play last year so has to be an improvement.

Weaknesses left back, would have liked Aouar in for Gundogan and I feel Mahrez for all his technical ability just doesn't work for the team enough.

Notably missing Messi.

6 out of 10 but maybe 7 after the players have settled.

Pep said when dave left we have phil as his replacement , we have bernie for that position as well, we have mahrez, ferran and raz out wide , Aour was twitter talk wasnt it ? Should really listen to pep

 

[FantasyIreland]

Definitely stronger than last season,whether that's enough? I dont think it will be to topple the Dippers,but we should grab a trophy again.

The reality is....we are in a rebuilding phase and it may take another season or two to get back on top.

Don’t get this negative thought of mind?!

I look at our squad after the window and think our squad is the best in the league no doubt whatsoever.

He's not wrong on Foden tho, has yet to play in the David Silva role. Should stop taking Pep word for word, maybe he has different plans for Foden this season.

Yes, posted with authority because I know it will be right, and it has been proven time and again.

PS: A few typos in your reply, a bit rattled perhaps?

No..typing on a phone hence the typos

The last line of your post just proves your a WUM and you know nothing...you have a negative stock reply to all things transfer wise ( its not happening) but you actually know nothing.....even a broken/stopped clock is right twice a day...

Like i said...its just your opinion ...you know nothing more than anyone else. You hold the negarive approach cause its easy to do ao that when something negative does happen (or a transfer doesnt happen) your fragile ego can satisfy itself with an "i told you so." When somethibg positive does happen you can celebrate with the rest of us
