Brentford want us to recall Bah and send him to them on loan but as things stand we may need to bring him back here.

Reis needs to be brought back asap

 

[Don Karleone]

The quote is specifically about adding players in defenceView attachment 179279

I still hope that he's taking the piss. Even if it's recalling players from their loans. We need numbers.

I think we will recall Reis.

As much as I think the club will like to have Guehi, I can't see us paying the money needed to get him.

He won’t come to us on a free though imo mate as im not sure we are his first choice? I have no doubt he would be happy to come but don’t think he would pick us in a fight on a free with say Liverpool, Chelsea and possibly Arsenal

 

[dragonman98]

So just Khusanov - Ake left for the next few weeks then? And Nunes NOR won't even get to rest too.

How has he been playing on his loan?

 

[Skellhell]

Hard to get players in in January those homage good will be expensive and they are the one you want. Any good ones with release clouse

How has he been playing on his loan?

He’s done really well by all accounts mate, especially playing in a bottom half team in the league

I know everyone hates him atm but Bernardo is a CM, he is and if he wasnt run into the ground after his 9th year under Pep you'd see the value he adds

I can't say I've ever came across any poster hating Bernardo. I'd say he is one of our most popular players over the last decade.

He"ll end up at Madrid.
They are already in discussion with him and plan to do the same trick that they did with Arnold and liverpool.

 

[Draikin]

Keeping Stones and Ake didn't look like a smart decision last summer

Yeah I have read the similar about Rodri, hate when Madrid does like that. But what about selling him in the summer to gain something? or is he worth keeping? He is really really good i think the hole team dynamics gets a lot better with him in the starting 11, the attacking gets better the defence gets better, we can’t find a similar player.

It was mentioned consistently on here as well.....very poor planning..

We needed to be ruthless and we werent....it was OBVIOUS what was going to happen with Stones.....
And if Ake makes the rest of the season without a muscle strain sidelining him it will be a miracle. ...

 

[Claytop]

Similar position to last year where the sheer amount of injuries meant we had to spend in January window when I’m sure it wasn’t planned. We’ve continued to keep the injury prone players and now look short again…

 

[Tevez City]

Rico Lewis can be our Cubarsi

 

[SaintColin]

Can’t see the club paying 70M+ on a single player in any window. Anderson/Wharton is a non starter.

Why? We’re not Burnley.

 

[Gumzy97]

I don't want to be harsh as they are all city players but I think there's eleven quality players that's your starting eleven and then the rest in the squad are just filler. Whenever one starting player comes out of the eleven the level drops. When we used to have a small squad but at equal level there was no drop off when a sub was made.

We have just lost their air of arrogance in the market?
