Matheus Nunes

[BlueMoonRisin’]

He didn't strike

He's still not training.

 

[clarion]

Why's that

This strike thing

Maguire must be worth £120m now.

He's a donkey and only worth 120 carrots

They say there is a 5m difference and we should just up the bid to 60m well why no wolves drop to 55m then!?

Think it's dead personally and that be us done!

The three players we bought though are top notch..

As are the three we lost. Add KDB’s injury to the mix and I think we’ve had a decent window but find ourselves in a weaker position than this time last season.

It does frustrate me that city are so quick to to brag about how much money they have made from selling x,y and z academy products. It just stinks of a very insecure mindset, a desperation to be accepted & admired by the wide football community. We all know that won’t ever happen and the narrative we just spend spend spend will continue.

This transfer window hasn’t gone well and as a result we may just have to suck it up and slightly overpay for Nunes. The market has changed and we will not get worldwide acclaim for refusing to pay above our valuation. Just feels like cutting our nose to spite our face.

As it stands we haven’t got the squad capable of competing for all 4 competitions (which is clearly the clubs aim). An injury to rodri and the season could be similar to the 2019/20 campaign. We have yet another chance to make history by becoming the first side to win 4 prem titles in a row. I just don’t understand why city seemingly are willing to put that achievement in serious jeopardy by hampering pep and weakening the squad.

Sometimes a post comes on Bluemoon and I literally disagree with every single word and this is one.

Not getting the same despondent feelings as so many in here.

Agree and tbf if anyone supporting City is currently despondent about the squad they have a bit of a strange view of football imo.

Weird situation where I'm absolutely relieved we aren't signing a player I didn't rate one bit and I thought had a terrible petulant attitude, but also extremely concerned about the small size of the squad going into such a long hard season.

Don't be concerned about size. It's how you use it.

Kalvin with a K please.

You know what, IF Kalvin was listed today I do think we would at the very least get our money back and if a couple of clubs wanted him, maybe even a slight profit.

That's how crazy this market has gone, Phillips is a very decent player at a certain level.

As said I have no idea about Nunes the footballer, but that irrelevant in a negotiation for a player that is not up for sale.

That's wishful thinking. Not a chance in hell we get what we paid for him. Look what we got for laporte(different position I know) a far superior player. No matter whether he's decent at a certain level or not he's totally useless to City. Unfortunately looking increasingly like we're stuck with him.

Is this Nunes lad any good?

 

[leo_city]

Ask yourselves is Nunes really that difference maker shall we need him in absence of Kovacic or Rodri?

Another body in is good, but not just for the sake of. Unless it’s a big name, who’s genuinely improving us, I don’t think it makes sense to buy. Decent as Nunes is, I don’t think he’s that great, he’s someone Pep can coach into becoming a top quality 8 like he’s done with them all, but for now just another profile that fits.
