Deeg67 Posted 6 August 2020 Share Posted 6 August 2020 "Disrespect", ROFL. Fuchs is a great guy, but he's useless against any serious opposition. He's slow at the opening whistle and gets worse as he tires. Just not a real option for anything but cup matches against non-league sides at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuchs really is not that much of a bad “last resort” compared to most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t want to lose him ... it would just be nice to put an end to this ‘hand over one of our best players a season’ malarkey, which seems to be the norm ... and tell the big boys to do one. And there are other areas that need strengthening instead of having to find a replacement for him ... and I’m sure we can do that without the money we get for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot see that happening any time soon tbh. We don`t have the financial power of an established or (excessively bankrolled) club. The upside is that any victories we take are so much sweeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to look forward if we are going to move on. Take Kompany at ManC. Won a lot more than Wes (all be it surrounded by greater resources) but the Club, Pep and he himself knew it was time to move out of the EPL. This is my take on Wes and Fuchs and nothing to do with lack of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he has some competition for his place now with Justin and Thomas . I want to see him in more consistent form next season Edited 8 August 2020 by An Sionnach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendy is so unreliable for them and they've wanted Chilwell in the past. I think he'd fit in well there as Pep doesn't need his full backs to score or assist much, they just need to be able to get up and down the pitch well, which is what Chilwell excels at. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 8 August 2020 Author Share Posted 8 August 2020 Can’t see Man City paying what we want to be honest. Yes they’re big spenders, bigger than anyone, but they seem to try to push a narrative that they’re not the sort of club to spend Maguire/Pogba, Allison/VVD kind of money. Instead they tend to spend at a lower lever but on multiple players and growing that year on year. For example, since 15/16: Sterling, KDB, Stones, Sane, Walker, Mendy, Laporte all signed for £45m-£55m each. Since 2018 they’ve signed Mahrez, Rodri and Cancelo for £60m-£65m each. Same reason they’ve gone for Ake at £40m - they can afford to just pay it for a quick deal but we’d be trying to negotiate it down for weeks. So I can’t see them going for Chilwell if we’re truly after £90m. Nor Cags, Wilf, Ricardo or Maddison, who I personally believe won’t go for anything less than £100m each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest An Sionnach Posted 9 August 2020 Share Posted 9 August 2020 (edited) As I have said before I would be surprised if he goes , too expensive , we need academy players in the squad and some doubts about his defensive capabilities . He remains a very good footballer though and Rodgers has got to find the best way of using him. If we go 3-5-2 he will become our principal wide left attacker with Ricci doing the same on the right. I personally prefer that, but our back three have got to be totally comfortable with that and develop a proper understanding. If we play back four , we really need two holding midfielders (as Liverpool do) to cover any disposession upfield. He needs to be given the freedom to attack though , as does Ricci. Luke Thomas shows a lot of promise but he needs a season as bench player along with Justin before I would make him a starter.
