fox_up_north Posted 2 April 2021 Share Posted 2 April 2021 Do players' families really get involved on social media to trump them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not feasible anyway, but, with the CL on the horizon a year’s contract at a good wage would be great for experience. I don’t think he is over the hill yet, he’s just had a bad year, but I imagine wages would be an issue. He’s a great pro though. Nah, will be wanting 200kish a week, we can't justify that. Plus, Vardy will be our bit part player for the next two or three years, we don't need two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 2 April 2021 Share Posted 2 April 2021 Can’t now see it happening, but I’d take the rejuvenated Lingard in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just his energy level and pressing transform the entire team. That's why Under doesn't play. He cant match the work rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking how strange for a midfielder to be classed as a decent LB but then realised I was thinking of Jay Spearing! Tony was a bit before my time.

Wortho Posted 2 April 2021 Share Posted 2 April 2021 What do people think of Callum Styles at Barnsley. I’ve just seen some of his goals and he does score some belters and he’s only 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majaco Posted 3 April 2021 Author Share Posted 3 April 2021 There is an article on the right wing BBC site where Guardiola says that Man City will not be able to afford a new striker in the summer. I think he is wrong as they could probably afford George Hirst. If Guardiola is saying that, it makes it more unlikely that we will not be losing any big players as who would be able to afford them? I reckon we have 9 players who we would not be willing to sell for under 50 million (Justin, Ricardo, Castagne, Fofana, Soyuncu, Ndidi, Maddison, Tielemans, Barnes: Praet and Iheanacho would be expensive too). Some we would want considerably more for. Then there are the players in their 30s, Scmeichel, Evans, Vardy, Albrighton who aren't going anywhere. The flip side is we won't be able to splash much cash either. Bearing in mind the players named above, we have one he'll of a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you really believe: 1) one of the richest countries in the world can't afford any striker they really wanted? 2) anything that Guardiola says? You need to get out more - socially distanced of course. Edited 3 April 2021 by Frank Large's Black Book 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a life-changing moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta Legend Posted 3 April 2021 Share Posted 3 April 2021 23 hours ago, ARM1968 said: I’d rather we maintained our strategy of young, hungry players with good resale value. I would rather our club stick with the statistical analysis process driven recruitment policy that has held it in good stead. While the club invests with the future in mind (the squad reflects this) it be silly to discount the likes of your Johnny Evans who are older but can add to the squad and it’s success. Don’t know enough about the player in question but it would seem we’ve been watching him for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
