Good backup to have a la Willian, not good enough to be an undisputed starter in my opinion. Let's see how he fares against Bernardo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted May 26, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted May 26, 2017 No doubt the Manchester clubs are going to invest massively this summer even though their managers have failed big time. Seeing this I hope the Chelsea board don't go into retard mode and deny Conte his targets. If Guardiola can go into a 200m+ buying spree after a trainwreck of a season I see no reason why Chelsea can't back Conte up too. Improvement is here for everyone to see now it is the perfect moment to finally start trusting a manager who is not clueless and has a perfect view on what the future holds for him and the club.

Pizy 18,944 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 If they sign all of Silva, Fabinho, and Walker I'll start to be concerned. Until we see what we do, anyway. kellzfresh, 11Drogba and laura90 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tautvix 1,321 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think it's not about that Bernardo Silva is a great player. The thing is Man City will spend a lot, Man Utd will spend even more. We have to spend big too, we must... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agüero Sane - KDB - D.Silva - B.Silva He fits in, unfortunately. 4-1-4-1 with no Jesus, and with Gundogan as DM? Now, I have not yet seen enough of Jesus to put aside my doubts about him, but most people, including many who have seen more of him than me and who therefore are in a position to know better than I do, think Jesus is the real deal. If he is, then it still looks like B. Silva can only play if a good player sits on the bench. Net gain for City? My claim is that it's probably marginal.

akgw13 867 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Great player, crowded team. I don't think we were ever really in for him like others are saying. Sucks seeing a talented player go to a competitor but lets not panic. Conte has given the board his list and it is their job to do their best and deliver. It is a long summer and both Manchesters are going to be spending 250-300+ last year everyone thought City and United were going to run away with it but who are champions? Chelsea. Titles are not won in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,944 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 All these expensive signings Pep's making are very young, too. This means that (much like this season) we'll see them look brilliant and unstoppable one week and very naive and inexperienced the next. For instance, Sane and Sterling can either be brilliant or laughably bad. They do however have excellent veteran leaders in Aguero, Kompany, and David Silva. Must say, if they sign the players they're favored to sign they'll easily have the best squad in the PL on paper. As we saw this season that isn't the end all, be all fortunately. It does mean that we'll need to also spend huge in order to maintain and compete. -------------Aguero/Jesus------------- Sane--------KDB/DavidSilva----------Bernardo/Sterling ----------------Fernandiho--------Fabinho--------------- Mendy----------Stones-------Kompany---------Walker ------------------------New keeper----------------------- That's insane, tbh.

If he is, then the claim is still that B. Silva can only play if a good player sits on the bench. Net gain for City? Marginal probably. Gündogan is toast, he won't play much anyway. Jesus is young and unproven, easily benched and rotated as a squad player. 4-1-4-1 with a DM, whoever that will be, Pep doesn't do defence anyway. If they can convince some quality players to embrace the bench, then good for them, otherwise they will need to sell. They still have Nolito for example, he will probably be gone.

Last Sicarius 610 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Well Pep must thinks about defence and now he has perfect attack. If Chelsea dont gonna win anything i hope that City gonna rape league. I can't take if KFC, United or LFC win PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Great talent. Potential superstar. One of the possible attacking options to strengthen Chels for me so slightly annoyed he's not joining but that's football. I'm surprised they're making these kinds of signings under Pep though. He doesn't stick around for long and I highly doubt he'll be in charge when their young guns reach their prime. And that's the thing. These players aren't in their prime. Signings like this doesn't make them a super team or a team to be prematurely feared. That would take years to build. And even then, there are no guarantees.

Tbh the ONLY way Pep will be winning trophies is if 1:) oppisition is below expectations or 2.) If he creates absolutely perfect team like his prime barca. His tactics have flaws and as long he doesnt have top top team or opponent isnt good, he wont win it. He had brilliant Bayern team and didnt do anything spectacular. Nevermind it will take a while for his team to gel together and all the talents actualy develop fully. By then he might not be at club anymore. I do fear City abit in 5 years or so, and United too. They will spend like mad to get back. What we need is improve our team and keep key players. Prime, Tibo, Azpi, Kante, Eden, and improvements should keep us a top for a while.
