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

[Chi-town blues]

The sun are saying he’s agreed a £2.4m a week contract at city! Have they been hacked?!

They’ve been saying that since 3 days ago .

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Dial back two weeks before any of this happened and ask the same question and most people would probably say yes. Whether or not Messi arrives shouldn't change that view IMO.

Need another midfielder imo if Messi doesn’t join or else Gundogan is basically first choice.

 

[mccity]

And if that's the case, they may have messed up.

Or not? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

More possibly a striker, depends upon Kuns knee.

£96m a year? That will be in the ballpark.

It just won't all go down as salary.

I don't want to do it then, that is peak messi numbers

If we end up with just Torres Ake and Koulibaly would anyone be happy?

Yes, we would be a winger and 2 centre backs better off than last year, 3 with Laporte. Will that give us the extra 15 points. Think so myself.

Next season maybe once Sergio leaves. However, Delap looks a real player in the academy.

Not quite, mate.

We need a LB as well as a CB. As much as Mendy is a likeable character he is not good enough against the top sides and neither is Zinchenko. Cancelo is the best of the three but we could get a more natural LB IMO.

 

[Chi-town blues]

It's becoming a circus act, we don't want a circus at the club, we have a couple of defensive clowns but not a circus.

Speak for yourself with that colorful face make up and a fucking red nose.

IF the Messi deal is off, I think we will go for a striker,that was a bad injury for Kun at his age, may take a bit out of him.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Says who?

The bookies mate

 

[dhruvblue]

Lets be honest. Everything being said and written right now is 95% speculation.
We all have our own take on the situation.
My gut feeling is Jorge is negotiating the biggest deal for his son at barca that will keep him there beyond his playing days and may involve a coaching role, ambassadorial role even a future presidential role.
Will that include him moving to the premier league to fulfil a dream first ?
Nobody really knows.
I apologise for my opinion on the situation.

by the way - I`d love him at city for a couple of seasons. Who wouldn`t

Lmao Messi and Gundogan related? How?

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Why do people love posting...

“That’s that then”

“Nice while it lasted”

Is it some form of self comfort in case he doesn’t come? If so it won’t help with actual disappointment if he stays at Barca.

It doesn’t add anything of use to the thread. If you can’t take the ups and downs of the transfer window stay off it.

Or is it so you could say “I told you so” if it goes against us?

Just wait and see.

Right now Barca have won nothing and they only win anything if he signs a new contract with them. What they have done already is absolutely ruin an opportunity to remain respectful and professional to their best ever player and that will never be forgotten.

I hate it. Makes it worst that these people are most likely grown men

Think next season our best left back will be Ake. Though a fit Mendy in games we need a more attacking left back would play his part.

Not up to you

Why do you give a fuck? It's not your money, and if he gets it, it's because the club think he's worth it.

Who are you ?

midfield would still be slow as fuck though

 

[Neville Kneville]

Ake says he's upto playing cb, lb & def mid, so hopefully we can clone him.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I’d rather have him for free in a year than 100m now, (or worse 100m plus Jesus), so I just hope that chance is there in a years time
