Kalidou Koulibaly

Already done so.
The reasoning doesn't depend upon 3 posters
No you havn`t explained one iota.All you`ve claimed its the fault of one person who is responsible for bringing players into the club.So why is it down to him solely and not the fault of Pep,Soriano,Khaldoon and our Owner also ?
Serious question.
If you can`t respond just say that you`ve no idea.
 
Practically everyone on BM could predict that.
How many fans turned around and said "title has gone" the moment Lap went down? Quite a few
I can predict that for Otamendi but not Stones who regressed even further. I can also not predict that the performances would come against a side like Norwich, which realistically shouldn't be the case. Games like that should have been managed by the two, end of. You can't just replace them at random, both are on big contracts and have responsibility. Now we are still struggling to move on Otamendi because he has become utterly useless, and no club would pay 20m even for John Stones, a player bought in for 50m. Not so easy, as I said.
 
Ferran and Omar Berrada are also involved in making transfer decisions along with Pep, as was proven in our Amazon documentary. But people somehow have stuck everything on Txiki. Messi decides to stay Txiki's fault, didn't get a player Txiki's fault, a 17 year old loaned who barely anyone knows of: Txiki at fault, when will we trust youth!
I feel like shouting to you "don`t tell him your name Pike". ;)
 
I get the feeling that some posters only turn up when we are winning.

I will try and clarify, before last season we won everything pretty much and played the best football the league has witnessed. It was easy to support us. Media criticism was low, pundits cld say jack shit, rag mates could be told to go fuck etc.

Roll on to September 2020 -we are having to go through a period were it is not so smooth. We have got beat 9 times boo hoo, we got beat by Lyon boo hoo, we have not replaced legends with already made legends boo hoo. Other teams are better boo hoo.

Now we separate the wheat from the chaff. Get a backbone and support the club, manager and players. We are relatively in the dark about what is actually going on with transfers.

So if u can’t heck it as it is not easy now-do one.

Even worse is that some people think there is only Txiki involved along with any said player we are looking to bring in.
They`ve no fucking idea as to how many top people are involved from start to finish on any one piece of transfer business.
That`s why I believe some people on this forum are either stupid,naive or just school kids.

With your little outburst and "dick or fanny" I don't think you're in a great position to call others school kids tbh
Anyway, everyone knows Txiki doesn't work in a vacuum but reality is the club has failed to sort the central personnel problem of last season, a personnel problem resulting from a failing in the market last summer
and we play on Monday against a team who did the double over us in large part because of the above issue.
It's not exactly great preparation for a season in which we must take the title back from those culty cunts

Ah so its NOT just Txiki who is at fault but now by your own admission the clubs ?
You can`t just make a statement and then expect a lot of us just to sit back and say fuck all,when in essence people who understand a lot more about the transfer business than yourself,come and defend Txiki.
I take it you also don`t do humour. ;)

Everyone knows lots of people are involved to varying degrees, but he is the one most responsible as it's his job - the others all have other responsibilities.

This is all tertiary to the point anyway. However you slice up the blame for us starting another season without a replacement, we're still starting another season without a replacement...

As above, I'd argue he's mostly at fault as it's his job.
I didn't start out blaming Txiki anyway, someone else said that he should shoulder alot of the blame if we start badly. He was ridiculed even tho it's a fair argument. I defended his point by saying he has already cost us points - you can split up the percentage of said points however you like.
You don't understand more about the transfer market but whatever

Wolves didn't have much of a preseason either and have got knocke out by Stoke in the Carabao

They've had 2 games to build up sharpness tho and them doing poorly against a lesser side is quite normal for them

We can beat them, obviously, but I'd be more confident if we had our priority signing sorted by now.

The priority signing needs time to bed in.

It's probably a lot of people. For example I imagine there's an entire accounting department that gives the board ideas of what works that need to produce several plans as to how a specific transfer fee affects things throughout the club.
 
Sure but not when Ota/Stones/Dinho/wantawayGarcia are the alternatives. (Ake is needed at LB, imo)

Ake is still a Centre Back first and foremost. Everyone in that list barring Otamendi can do a job up until the new signing does arrive.
 
Im not sure i believe the stories over the last few days about PSG making a bid for Koulibaly but I think its very interesting that bot the offers have apparently been for €60m

The Italian press basically confirming what the market values the player at, and its very close to the City bids reported.

Makes no difference to ADL
 
Bored of this one now. Been about 3 months of the same story no progress. We’re gonna have another season rotating with Fernandinho/stones/otamendi again
