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

Unless Yaya is slim and bang at it I think we need another CM who can help boss possession.
It's not unlikely that both Gundogan and Silva could miss a month here and there. Kroos probably won't be leaving Real and he'd cost a shitload but someone like Thiago fits the bill

Typical comment from someone who has no believe in what Pep can do with the players we have and the youth products. You want us to buy buy buy and that'll do it. Well ...it won't.

Pep is building a team.

People have forgotten how that works & are just used to managers trying to buy one instantly instead, & if it doesn't work, try to buy another one. That's us since the first title win. 'We must buy'. We didn't sign 'x' so we can't win.

What Pep is doing is clearly not just about this season & can't be done in one transfer window.

I'm certainly prepared to give Pep his lead and trust him to put a team together that will if he leaves in 3 years be worth megabucks should a new man want to change it again.

I see no reason why we won't break playing records next season even with the majority of starters being last year's squad. Tactical awareness is a wonderful thing something our last manager had very little idea of.

Forward with the revolution.

Instead of just signing 'obvious' players I'd hoped we'd bring in a couple of smart signings. Going for Stones is obvious for me. I had hoped by now we'd be seeing an exodus of Yaya ,Nasri,Kolorov, Delph,Clichy etc. Still time maybe???

Perhaps getting rid of Yaya ,Nasri,Kolorov, Delph,Clichy would be too obvious

Sane and Stones will be world class in 3-5 years, but will they play a big part of a title winning side next season?

We need Bonucci. Him and Gundogan would make a huge difference straight away. Sprinkle Stones, Sane and Nolito on top of that and it's a great window.

I definitely think we need one more big, experienced signing.

Akinfenwa ?

Akinfenwa ?

Is that a Welsh profanity?

No. That's Robbie Savage ;-)

Typical knee jerk comment as well

You clearly missed the bit where I said that I totally get the signing of your players with potential (young talent)

You also clearly missed the bit where I said that Pep is probably the only manager capable of rejuvenating Yaya.

I want us to buy yes (so do you or you wouldn't be interested in the transfer forum would you) - I want us to buy the right mix of players. The only negative Ive said is that I don't rate Nolito. I absolutely get why we would go for Stones and like I clearly said Gudongan is absolute class and so would Bonucci be (if we get him) - again all this is in the original post.

No-one knows whether Sane will make the grade...thats what potential is...he may, he may not
Do you not think that we need an upgrade in midfield...I think we do...can pep change the performance of some players - of course he can but IF Yaya has another season like he did then we are heavily reliant on Ferna and Gudongan (once he aint injured) providing the driving force......Ferna is a superb player but can he do it for a second season running ( pick up the slack as he did last year?)

Do you not think we need a left back???.....most of the members on here seem to say that we do....Im sorry but Kolorov is shit defensively...he is worse that that actually; he is a liability!

What do you see happening IF we lose Kun for any amount of time???? Would you be confident with say Kelechi and sterling.....I wouldn't ( and i like both players)....add to that list Nolito and Sane (neither with prem experience - fact) and neither of them are centre forwards (though they can play there)......
