It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I've seen him play there mainly in cup games, but he plays in midfield for Ukraine so you'd think he could adapt if needed, he does at LB!

They wouldn't be sat in the stands they would rotate with Rodri and Zinc.

Fern is 36 and is showing it. Really bizarre that the club keep making the same mistakes and going for sentimentality rather than bringing in a player. The club continually reacts a year or two too late for the need for a player.

DM is a weakness, along with LB, and should have been addressed this summer.

They aren't going to rotate with Rodri or Zinchenko though are they.

We have Fernandinho, Gundogan and Rodri as players Pep will play at DM.

We have Cancelo, Zinchenko and Mendy as players Pep will play at LB.

So yes, they would be in the stands.

If the club is "continually" reacting a year or two late. Imagine what we could achieve if we didn't.....

Not sure Mendy will get many games

You are speculating there. Depends which prison he ends up in and if they have an inter wing football league. It could be like the Porridge Christmas Special and they bus some Z list celebs in to play?


No, you’re right. He’s still not going to get many games.

Fernandinho shouldn't have been given another contract. As amazing as he has been the club went the sentimental route. He's really starting to show his age and slow down.

Gundogan isn't good as a DM. That leaves Rodri and if he's injured...

We needed an energetic and faster paced DM.

Mendy isn't good enough.

I agree that we should be anticipating weaknesses rather reacting. For all the money spent we're weak at Striker, DM and LB.

Not doing his job. Lazy scouting. There wasn't another striker In world football except Kane?
Dereliction of duty I'd say. The boss needs to be having a word with him.

Who would you have signed then? No point spending money on a player that isn’t good enough.

You still not getting the difference between another striker and another striker that makes the team better I see. Also still not getting how how our transfer team actually works, as it isn’t a him.

If I was in his position I'd have made it my business to source an alternative that was good enough.
That's his job not mine.

We haven't got any at the moment that's the issue.
