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

I don't think he'd struggle, but wasn't the first goal he scored in England the penalty against us? His record is strangely poor

His goal scoring record might not be high against the English teams but his performances have always been of a very good to sublime (as we found unfortunately) standard. He destroyed ourselves and Arsenal in recent years and although his numbers may not be what they are over here as they are in Spain, they wouldn't need to be.
Players like Messi are few and far between and when they come along they can play at any level in any country.
I very much doubt we'll be fortunate enough to see him at the Etihad other than if we draw Barca but if we did, well that's when we become top dogs.

nonsense

why would he struggle in the most overrated league in the world.

and dont give me that the epl is more physical crap because players like silva bosses this league every season.

He has teeny tiny legs.

Hola Naymar, Aidios Dave......yes or no?

No

 

[Pam]

Pardon my ignorance who is the bloke in the middle

More to the point, who is the babe on the right?

 

[Keeper!]

No

Really? if we have the chance that deal would have to be done

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

I see Neymar and Aubameyang as similar type of players...both comfortable out wide on the wing, both direct and like to beat a man and both excellent in front of goal.....I know most might disagree but its just my opinion.....I would take Aubameyang over Neymar. For me, Aubameyang would give us more of an advantage as a striker (Neymar likes to play out wide in space) and if Aguero was injured, Aubameyang could slot into the striker position without any issues......A player that can play anywhere across the front would give us excellent flexibility and he'd also be about £70mil cheaper!;) Aubameyang would be a 2 for 1 buy.....as we wouldnt need to buy another striker and wouldnt need to pay 40mil+ for a winger like Sane....

I suppose if Barca are willing to do a straight swap we'd have to consider it.
I'm yet to see anything linking Silva away and I see no reason why he'd have to be sacrificed in order to make the deal happen in the first place. My feeling is Guardiola will be more than happy to work with Dave.

Gundogan and Thiago are very similar....would we still be interested if they willing to sell?

This cant be true. If and its a big if, bayern did sell him I would that thought pep would be desperate to bring him to City because he holds Thiago in very very high esteem.
The tweet could only be true if we have our eye on another huge signing.

If there's even the slightest chance we could get Messi we should be all over it like a tramp on chips

Messi will never leave Barcelona.

Neymar really is a next level signing.

Way beyond pogba.

Neither are as good as Delph

 

[york away to this!]

so pogba was seen "viewing an investment opportunity" in barca - are we sure this was a house? In the mean-time Neymar has been taking some time off in New York.

2+2=56,794

oh my god I've just soiled myself...

If I had to choose one from Neymar / Messi / Pogba. I'd choose.......

No...we really need to focus on the future. Not sign players in their late 20s. Unless it's good value. We have an ageing squad and need players who we won't have to replace in the next few years.

 

[Daz_Blue]

OK given the choice ...

Pogba 80m or Kroos and Sane for the same cost ?

Aubameyang or Dybala for 50m+

I can only speak for himself but stopped thinking of Pogba to us in the last transfer window......and even if he was an option I would still take Kroos and Sane for the same cost over Pogba and I'd take Aubameyang over Dybala....Aubamenyang offers way more system flexibility.....A striker who can play out wide on the wing fits Pep's system perfectly.....

Pep Guardiola will reject the chance of a reunion with Thiago Alcantara, who Bayern are willing to sell. [MEN]

MCFC Info ‏@MCFClnfo 3m3 minutes ago
Instead Guardiola will look to pursue moves for Paul Pogba or Toni Kroos, who is seen as the cheaper alternative. [MEN]

Really...

Dybala is flexible and is also more talented then the speedy but lacking technique Aubamenyang. Dybala is on another level in terms of talent. This kind of reminds me of the Aguero thread where alot thought there was better options. Or you simply had better already. Dybala is unbelievably talented and he will be one of the very top players on the next 4 years.
