It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

They did when ffp was introduced and we got a £49m fine and “took a pinch”

No they never. That was down to an interpretation on the original rules set by UEFA. The rules are now set in stone and can't be randomly changed to stop certain teams

 

[chesterbells]

They tried to fuck us over and now we’re sailing close to wind on the hope they don’t change the rules.
Seems I’m the only one worried by this.

Stop worrying mate. It’s not good for you. We have all done enough worrying already this year.

As soon as the guardian disappears the better.

Along with the elbow-patched scrotes who read it.

The second one is right,i posted it yesterday,his dad is bringing the action against him over money from his sale from wolsburg,i think kev could do his own talks with us if he wanted,bright guy

Kev should give @Prestwich_Blue a bell.

 

[Maly]

Maybe we could use her as a back up in nets....just imagine attcking the City goal and she looks you in the eye and pulls up het shirt!

I’m imagining......I’m imagining

 

[Dobsy]

If we actually get this guy for free, my goodness what a vindication for Khaldoon. His long term strategy of modelling the football structure on Barcelona meant we acquired Txiki B and Ferran S, they brought Pep on board, and now possibly Leo Messi. Incredible leadership from him.

Ask yourself why

Imagine we sign Koulibaly for say £70m. And get Messi on a "free". Our net spend for this window will barely touch 100m in that case? That's before any sales other than Sane.....

Those are some rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up.

 

[Asa's left peg]

It may be a good idea to cut the board a bit of slack on this. There were many on here and elsewhere being prophets of doom re the CAS hearings, but they were true to their word and we didn't have a case to answer, so it stands to reason, Khaldoon won't have got sloppy on this, either. I know we are City fans and we are suppose to think the worst, but have a little faith, eh.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

They already have, we got fined £49m for it.

We took the pinch that time as well you know. At CAS it would be inadmissible as well you know. There will be no bending over for uefa and the g14 again.

would be nice how could any one beat 'f~~k your net spend beat getting messi on a free'

 

[Neville Kneville]

Like V Wolves? When we had loads of chances to put the game away but insisted on just crossing to the back post instead?

Like when we scored twice away from home & let in THREE GOALS ?

Messi will guarantee that never happens by making sure we always score more that two ?

 

[Neville Kneville]

How many matches have we lost this season in which we had a lower expected goal stat than the opposition?

Our defence has undoubtedly been worse this season, but it also coincided with the fact our best CB has been injured for the majority of it.

We’ve added pace to our back line and the players will be hungry to win the title. Getting Messi would transform the mentality of this side as well!

How many goals should it take, to win a game ?

 

[I'm Blue]

I wouldn’t trust UEFA to pick up my dogs shit.
We keep hearing they’ll be changes to ffp so time will tell.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

You can’t have read my post if that’s they point you think i’m making.

We were susceptible because we had a weakness in midfield caused by an injury to our first choice central defender meaning our first choice defensive midfield had to play out of position. This led to us being open at the back. Since then we have signed Ake. And we are in for KK.

In my opinion, you might not share it, we dropped points when we didn’t convert chances.

We dropped points because of both, lots of missed chances but lots of poor defending as well. Thankfully the club seem to recognise that and are addressing it.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Can you imagine this midfield and forward line

Rodri

Torres De Bruyne Messi Sterling

Aguero

 

[daztrueblue91]

How many goals should it take, to win a game ?

Depends how many you concede.

The reality of the situation is that if we are creating more clear opportunities to score than the opposition, then we will win games more often than not.

 

[i8rags]

I'm confused..... I said Messi is signing because Pep is our manager, he wouldn't come here without assurance that Pep will be our manager.
What exactly am I swerving?

Eh

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Which is fine. But whenever they are changed they cannot backdate them.

I wouldn't worry about UEFA. Any nonsense and we just take them back to CAS.

Absolutely
