Kanji Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 He's going to keep his firmly on minutes too given I imagine he won't do anything to jeopardize his spot as one of Brazil's main men ahead of the world cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 City might have had a stronger shout if they still had Jesus and Fernandinho. I've read about Fernandinho being the older brother or daddy figure of the Brazilians in the PL, with the Liverpool players and Fred at Man U going to hang out with him. Brazil have a really strong team now, and if Paqueta does move, he's going to have to settle in fast and keep on performing because competition for places is fierce. fwiw, Bernardo Silva is just about the most mobile player in the entire league, so "just cover the same ground as him" could well be a poisoned chalice.

It's easy rhetoric with 3 weeks left to say "we only want players who will make a difference!" but you know what would make a difference?...having someone like Dennis as back up to Wilson. We are trying our upmost to maintain a high standard in the market, this is because we don't want to be lumped with an expensive player on a long contract who isn't any better than Almiron or Fraser or Wood. Towards the back end of the window, we will look for more pragmatic solutions. Burn and Targett were pragmatic solutions in January and they worked out. Right now we are holding our nerve and resisting the temptation to spend our money on Cornet etc. You could be right tbf mate, I'm just Howe at face value, and he did intimate we were choosing from a very select group of targets. I'm also wondering whether the club's thinking is, we could spend money on lesser players who have done well last season, but would they be better than Almiron, Fraser and Willock? When it comes to someone like Maddison, the gulf is clear, but some of the other names we've been linked with, maybe the club aren't convinced.

Guest Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Yeah we could easily sign better or more in form players, but can see why we're looking at big upgrades. We'll just be in the same boat in 2 years when we're looking at buying again otherwise. Brave strategy but if it pays off, we're laughing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally's army in '78 was my first World Cup and I had Forest and Villa win the European cup in between, but that Brazil team were the first to take my breath away.
