UniFox21 Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 Listening to the football daily podcast from Monday, Charlie Adam/Dublin are talking about how the best teams play open, expansive football with pace to defend 1 on 1 situations. And they're all realising Maguire isn't the player for that. Which I'm finding amusing, as most of us saw that in his last year with us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered why he always sounds like he's gonna burst into tears when he's speaking but then I realised he has to listen to himself the most. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 I'm crowdfunding to commission the erecting of a statue of Congerton outside Celtic Park just so I can damage it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc81 Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 I think my shock with the David Silva statue is that they have had so many iconic and important players recently. Aguero, kompany (although I believe he is getting a statue), Dr bruyne, fernandinho etc. I am sure they will continue to have players of that stature/importance moving forward. It just feels a bit premature for a statue (and probably shows that I have underestimated his significance to people at man city). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me if we ever had statue of that amazing season I'd rather wait at least decade later like reveal on the 10th anniversary. Aswell as Birch's statue which certainly long overdue. In fact next year will be Birch's 50th year with the club! Anything in the pipeline. Edited 19 August 2020 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little does he realise Henry has had one for 9 years and Bergkamp for 6 years. Great bit of punditry there. Sums up the state of pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 20 August 2020 Share Posted 20 August 2020 This seems to confirm that our offer for Deeney was accepted, but he decided to stay put. Deeney and Vardy would have made a great combination I think, especially with the Ranieri counter attack style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpret that as an offer was there which Watford were willing to consider if Deeney said he wanted to go, or he could have pushed for a move as there was substantial interest from us. I know we weren't as established then but I think Deeney would have taken CL football if it was in front of him and he probably knew a lot of our lads which would have made us more appealing.

Finnegan Posted 20 August 2020 Share Posted 20 August 2020 IMO we'd have ruined Deeney's career. I don't actually think he's vastly better than Slimani he just has a better attitude. We'd still have ****ed up by trying to play Vardy in the Okazaki role and Deeney in the Vardy role as we did with Slimani, it'd still have been terrible and he'd still have spent most of his career here playing second fiddle to a very different type of striker. The moral of the story is signing some "target man" to be a "plan b" is a ****ing stupid idea that City fans need to get over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulloa was finito after 15/16, if anything Deeney would've taken Leo's role over the 16/17 season and grown into the squad. Slimani's main fault was his character, it was clear a year in seeing how Vardy was around him against Wolves away pre-season they didn't get along and Slimani wasn't effective enough to usurp Vardy in the squad anyway so it was over for him. I think Deeney would've been more likely to crack on with his role in the squad with Vards instead of trying to take over. Deeney's also a leader, a character who could've improved us particularly these last couple seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
