Yes lads!

[Rodri’s ACL]

It’s outrageous! I’m sat here putting a fiver on us winning the league next year! Behind the scenes and signings are looking brilliant! Let’s go, we are back!

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Some worry over PSG, who we might not even play tbh

I’ve giggled so much looking at the replies, great banter, I’m upping it to a £6 bet now!

Gotta spill the beans pal!

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Without names it could be assumed this is just a reaction to Khaldoon's 'you'll see' comment.

Easy to jump on the back of that for any ITK (with good or bad track records).

A whole fiver? Wow, that's confidence. I'm a believer now.

The problem is that even if we got everyone who most people want:

J.Garcia
Livramento
Cherki
Reijnders
Rodrigo

Is that amazingly exciting?
Is it KDB, D.Silva, Yaya, Sane standard we once had? Nope.

These players aren’t going to make us match PSG.

All PSG players are quick, fast and technical.

Haaland, Marmoush, Doku won’t close down defenders like they do.
Rodri Reijnders and Nico G are quick around the pitch and as tenacious as Vitinha, Neves and Ruiz.

We all have to face facts that our time of being the best is over for a few years.

This window won’t get us back.
(I can imagine this message won’t impress happy clappers but it’s the truth).

I missed what SalfodPaul has been saying cos you've been going.... Big Nose!!

We don’t necessarily have to beat PSG though. Most teams people would accept we probably had the best team in Europe for 5/6 years and won one Chsmpions league. The players we’re being linked with would hugely improve our team.

I know you Salford lads are a little thrifty when in comes to parting with there cash so I'm onboard and I'm gonna match your £6 bet

They would improve us. No disagreement there.

But people are going on how great and excited they are about these signings when all of them are worse than what we had.

When I'm happy in life and getting a bit too carried away with unwarranted positivity, please can you send me a message or two to bring me right back down to earth with a bang. Ffs

Haha, I’ll be there, pal.

 

[Scaley]

Salford Paul is about as reliable as it gets. He is like the don of the “itk” world.

That may be so but he needs to calm down a bit instead of throwing his wonga around like there’s no tomorrow…. there’s a cost of living crisis ffs.

It’s not the truth - it’s just another opinion.

No more or less valid than anyone else’s.

What is the truth is that the list of players you’ve set out were not signed in a single window - Yaya and David Silva joined in 2010, KDB in 2015, and Sane in 2016.

Signing that level of talent in a single transfer window is pure fantasy due to the spending restrictions all teams have to work within - and I don’t think anyone on here is suggesting we’ll suddenly be a better team than the current European Champions by the end of the summer.

It’s taken PSG years to build that team after the disappointment of their Galactico era.

But the players we are targeting represent the start of a rebuild - and that is exciting for most of us.

Not you, clearly - and that’s fair enough.

But if you’re seriously expecting us to sign a group of players that will instantly make us better than PSG’s current team in a single window, I’d suggest you’ll never be satisfied and might as well find something else to do for the next couple of seasons.

Well. If he's bringing it home i might as well get on flight radar then..

It's bad enough that they're quick, but we're totally fucked if they're fast as well
Doomed

He's also neglected to mention the quality already available to us.

I'd argue that Rodri and Haaland are clearly world class players comparable to the likes of Silva and KDB, whilst Dias, Gvardiol and a normal Foden are close.

No, was just highlighting we are spending millions on a rebuild to create a team worse than what we are used to. Thats all.
