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

I think he's an excellent player. I am not sure that his character fits the 'type' of player we have but as a player, he is very good indeed.

Characters develop, it's a good strategy to have a mix of them, and as we know with Sterling; the media portrayal of someone's character can be very different from reality. I'd also suggest we're missing some leadership in the squad and he's taken a very senior role at Villa at quite a young age.

Thiago Alcântara been linked with us. Are we really after this lad. 29 and would not be cheap.

Liverpool bound - the media are just lining up a story to say he snubbed us.

Like Thiago to us and Gundo back to Klopp you mean?

Am I the only person on the forum that rates Grealish? He stands up very well against the rest of the league in retaining possession, moving the ball forward, and creating chances. All in a comparatively awful side in Villa.

Also, perhaps not on a City front, but noticed PSG aren't renewing Thiago Silva's contract. Any news on where he's headed?

Thiago Silva turns 36 next month. Why do you ask?

Just curious really. He's old but still capable at the top level

 

[Tarzan41]

Ha, I don't even know who the players are, never mind the percentage likelihood of them signing!

Scott Carson and 2 others

Old people’s home?

You didn't see the game last night then? Blowing out of his arse after 30 minutes.

I saw the first half. But he stayed on for the full 90 and Atalanta (one of the most exciting attacking sides) didn't score again after that opening half hour.

Again, I'm not suggesting City should go for him, but I think he presents decent value for some team on a free for a year or two when the going rate for a top CB now seems to be over £60m.
