The are we allowed the "it's quiet" thread yet? thread.

[kaz7]

Thats an early summary. Someone tired gone sleepy byes?

I thought that,hope not

The way things are developing I'm thinking back to Salford Paul's 'Boom' thread.... is this what he meant?

Feel like there's a lot of over excitement in this thread about the names touted.

Can't see adding Stones, Sane, Kroos, Bonucci propelling us into an unstoppable force as some are making out. Hardly Messi, Neymar, Suarez.

Add a striker to the list and there's reason to get hopes up - otherwise, it's still just relying on Aguero on his own or Iheanacho/Bony when he's injured. Not enough firepower there for a full season/4 comps.

If we get Suarez, Aubameyang or Lewendowski (unlikely as not linked), we're in with a real shout for the CL and beating the likes of Barca.

10 new signings is the rumour .....well we have 4 so far ..... Mooy, Zinchenko, Gundogan and Nolito

Two genuine world class players, and two with huge amounts of potential.
Playing for the best manager in the world.
In a team that already contains the likes of De Bryune and Aguero.

... you know, I don't think people are wrong in getting excited about this.

Absolute nonsense. You think we won't be a killer force with those 4 names mentioned add to having Bruno Peres and maybe some more additions with Guardiola in charge? Oh we will most definitely. I am super excited.

Stones has a lot of hard work to do if he wants to become a Pique quality player - fair enough, Pique at his age wasn't anything like he ended up showing himself to be, but Laporte seems to show the potential for that more than Stones.

Sane yes, could be world class - one day - but I'm talking next 2 seasons here.

Kroos, Bonucci yes would make us much more reliable and defensively sound but it's the final third that's lacking for me. When Kun was on his own last season he was totally isolated in key games. Of course Pep will improve a lot but, we need another world class forward to be getting giddy for me.

Stones? You think Stones will contribute to us being a killer force next season? In future seasons good chance but in the short-term, sorry mate. He struggled at times last season.

Bruno Peres, how much do you know about him really? People seem to have all the sudden got giddy about him too despite barely anyone knowing anything about him 2 months ago. I'm confident he will be a great signing but will need to do some work under Pep before he becomes "killer' and has something like the impact of Alaba.

They would improve us as a force no doubt, but not so much a "killer" force to do damage to the top teams in the CL.

Not purposefully trying to be a kill joy but looking at it objectively - not even that, just normally. Those names don't seem to be adding up with the reactions people are giving. You'd think Suarez was one of them from the reactions. There'd still be a lot of hard work to do with those names.

Pep doesn't play with 2 strikers, he plays his main man and has wide forwards/ wingers/ attacking mid's around him and supporting him. We also could have Nolito, Kev, Sane and Sterling who could play as false 9's.
