New Keeper Alert

[HundredRoom]

Just off to buy some bitcoin. Looking really cheap now.

When you bringing some decent beer over. We're talking purples now. Something I can chew on.

It won't be decent beer mate. I'm not made of money. It'll just be the cheap stuff. I'm having a bit of trouble with the boat at the moment. Once I've sorted that out I'll try to get around to visiting you. Erimus74 throws wild parties every night though and I'm exhausted most of the time after attending those. I'm not getting any younger.

At the risk of upsetting almost everyone on this thread , some of whom seem to be absolutely chroming themselves, I wouldn't want to be showing that showreel around with the title Best Saves. I wondered about the ones that missed the cut! One cross caught, two punched. One brilliant save, the rest adequate. Yes, better than Lumley. Pretty low bar though.

D

I'm linking the out of the box thinking, the US market seems very under represented.. in terms of hype.

Riley McGree was signed from Charlotte FC
Daryl Dike popped into the Championship from Orlando City and blew us all away!
Kai Wagner was linked with us from Philadelphia Union (I'm assuming Ryan Giles has put that one to bed)

Auston Trusty signed by Arsenal from Colorado Rapids then immediately loaned back. 23yo 6'4 left footed central defender - he is a made up rumour.. but still.

Could Leo Percovich have a hand in these dealings? There was talk of him being involved with the Carlos De Pena deal
Joined the Colorado Rapids coaching staff in 2006, as their new goalkeeper coach, serving for two seasons before joining Chivas USA prior to the commence of the 2008 season. He moved to Toronto in December 2009, as an assistant coach following the departure of Preki during the off-season. In January 2011, Percovich continued coaching in the United States, joining Chicago Fire as assistant coach. In November 2013, Percovich was appointed as a member of Aitor Karanka's coaching staff at Championship club Middlesbrough

Didn’t know of Leo‘s extended MSL connection. Riley McGree never suited up for Charlotte.

No upsetting me. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion!

Nope.

Are you Block21 by any chance? If my memory doesn't serve me wrong, which it often does, I do seem to remember old Block getting equally excited over a certain Sam Morsy signing? If I've got that mixed up, sorry!

I had no idea who Zak Steffan was until morning. Hope you're right though Diego! And he is beastly.

Nope never heard of him

 

[Rishworthian]

The general view in Manchster is competent but not exciting at present but playing regularly should see an improvement

On Morsy to be fair I think most of us thought he was a decent signing, Wigan captain, always played well when I had seen him and a bit of a hard man.

If you remember correctly I quickly changed my mind and hated him more than anyone on the board and couldn’t wait to get rid . He was shocking for us and I mean shocking

Guess the writing style is the same haha

Our business has been fantastic so far, it really has. When you think of the teams we were closely competing with, they’ve not done a lot yet, well not that I’m aware of anyway. If I was a Luton, Sheff Utd, Huddersfield or Blackburn fan I’d be looking at us with a bit of jealousy. WBA have signed a couple of decent players but we really are on the front foot here

2022 Manchester City Active Roster

Player (24)	Pos.	Annual Salary
Zack Steffen	GK	£2,392,000

Hope they are paying some of his wages!

Considering Lumley cost us at least 12 points last season, if Steffen can safe us that many then picking up his entire wage would be a steal.

Some unnecessarily hard tackling, cheap cards, and except for the bungles, practically anonymous in the offensive zone.

To be fair you do seem to have a wide knowledge of players. If your predictions were right everytime you'd be a scout for the Boro! So I'll let you off on Morsy

Like someone else has mentioned here, i think I know a bit about footy, only then to realise I don't know any of the players we are being linked with or signing! UTB

Thankfully you are not in charge of recruitment. We just want a solid keeper who can save a shot or two. No bells or whistles, just a good honest shot stopper. Who cares about these showreels anyway?

Again come on! We are talking about a goalkeeper for christs sake!

 

[S7DiscoDown]

I can only assume all the negative comments are coming from Liam Roberts. He's clearly knocked up a few profiles under different names

I bet he's well made up lol

Hahah cheers, I watch to much football. But I love it!

We are being linked with some good players this summer, I reckon other clubs fans are looking a bit with envy so far! Hopefully the season is a good one. Feels like it could be if things keep up in this positive manner.
