I want to see Jesus improve this year Bc it’s gettint towards his moment in the club with kun leaving soon. We need a big Big year from him
Your absolutely right. For me his general play within the system is ok, at times very good. But even though I can be a bit of an aologist for certain players, I can't defend the reality that he needs more goals. He has all the tools to do it.
 
No, or I would have said ability. The two most important things Pep wants from the position are speed of thought and the positional discipline to be where needed. It's why despite many people over the years questioning Busquets, Pep found him ideal. Gundogan has good enough speed of thought concerning how plays are shaping up meaning he can make the necessary passes to beat the press. The question is does he have the positional discipline to be where he needs to be on the pitch when our attacks break down against the counter?
I think you need to be able to tackle. That isnt one of Gundogwan's strengths.
 
Totally agree. We walked the league but it would be the definition of complacency to sit on our laurels. Look at how Arsenal & Liverpool have strengthened. We should put our foot on their throat while we can, in my opinion.

Mahrez, I think, will prove to be a fantastic signing, but we need a DM.

Gundo is good, but he's not a defensive mid & Ferna's not getting any younger!
How the fuck is buying Mahrez 'sitting on our laurels'?
 
Have a feeling that plan B target will be negotiated for weeks again, so about end of transfer window is when that player can join after our 3 pre season games. Surely we make a lower offer for a start that isnt gonna be accepted then we move it a bit higher and wait who blinks first. But all this can happen after we had our detective work done about the player's attitude, the "good personality check" based on Pep standards:D, the verbal agreement with agent/player about salaries etc.

And then we have to agree the price with the seller club and hope no other club is going to be interested in that player with similar or better offer.

No way all this will be done by Txiki for a new player in next two weeks. He also has to spend lot of time to find a new club for Hart, Mangala, Roberts, Denayer etc.

I'm not convinced we do a personality check at all. We tried to sign Alves who is a massive twat, then we tried to sign Sanchez who is a massive twat and now it turns out Jorginho who we've been trying to sign is also a massive twat.

We would have to blink first. We spent 6 months getting these two deals on the table now we have ~4 weeks and anyone selling knows we have already missed one target so they can jack up the price.

Think Sam's right and we'll just crack on with what we have.

Definitely he’s got the tools all I’m asking for is improvement on this year push a little more. With mendy we’ll be able to play with kun and Jesus together at some points in the season like last year and those killer crosses mendy delivers I can only see kun and Jesus smashing in loads of goals in from them
 
Don't think we can rely on Fernandinho to constantly run around as He is 33. This is the age where players start to decline physically. Not sure gundogan has the defensive steel to be our starter there either. Think the fact that we spent months trying to sign a Dm shows we need one. Really hope we get someone in.
 
With mendy back I think delph can definitely fit in for cover for both...he constantly ends up in that position as left back anyway peps done well with that one

I thought Delph looked good in that role when he played for England in a friendly at Elland Road. With better players around him he can excel even further.

I think at this point they know if someone is available and we look desperate to sign them I.e kovacic their price goes up but if we see someone who is in our price range and qualities we can use then I think then we’ll be willing to spend. Since we arnt in a position of beer and we just want someone then it plays in our favor.
 
This how I feel reading some of these responses god Our squad IS the best around why are flappers flapping like this...Jorginho isn’t kdb nor hazard he’s just a player that would have played for us. We arnt in trouble neglecting cover for fernandhino we are always in control of our games and I sense we’ll improve that this season

They are spoilt morons, pal.

I'm always in a position of beer.
 
Looks like we're repeating the same mistakes as the last title winning summers.

I can't believe we're not going to strengthen in defensive midfield. We're crying out for one.

Here's hoping it's just Twitter bullshit, but it doesn't look good.
I thought or I have been saying the same thing. I've been swayed a bit though by some of the posts I've received. Gundogan can sit in there and if he catches his dortmunD form, happy days. Further foden was mentioned. My initial thoughts are that the position may be too soon for him. However, if we are looking to rotate the position between fern, gundogan or possibly De Bruyne, I see no reason why foden could not slot into one of the number 8 positions, say if De Bruyne was asked to sit in there. I would rather strengthen but any option that gives foden and opportunity also works for me.

Yeh we had that for a few games before Mendy got injured. Completely on your wavelength fella.
