It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Rammy Blue]

He’s ok in certain games but others he might as well not even be out there

Needs to man up.

Must have been tough for a young lad coming to a new country which has then been spent pretty much completely in lockdown. He‘s also had covid too, so we don’t know how much that has affected him, so he just about gets a pass for me.

 

[wattle]

Spurs can't afford to pay Sterling's current £300k a week wages, never mind his anticipated rise.

Raheem might also have something to say about joining a club without its best striker and no Champions League football to speak of!!

Nice stadium, though!

Exactly this. Why would raheem even think of going there? People forget they’re not playing football manager sometimes. Players have the main say where they go and off they stay.

Agreed
No issue him staying....just don’t see him playing if we buy new players
Equally wouldn’t be bothered if he left
Mendy I want to leave, he is a joke not a footballer
He has his medals to make the last four years worthwhile

Not willing to write raheem off yet
For a long time he was our main threat and he never stops giving his all even if he’s playing shite

But what about Cancelo? Can you be sure he will ever be consistent?

He may be fed up with Pep and Pep with him. Pep might tell him he won’t be of much use next season. Who knows

Nope
But I’m sure as hell there’s a great footballer in him

 

[RayCTID]

Cancelo has one more chance along with the likes of Sterling, Torres, and Jesus. It still doesn't stop us bringing in an extra left back (Mendes).

Yeh maybe but he isn't going to Tottenham. Not a chance. He'd have the choice of many, many top level clubs

It's crazy that a player can have the season that Sterling has had and still expect an increase on £300k per week.

City should be looking for a refund given the level of his performances.

I am hoping that cancelo and torres come good next season. It can take a while to settle at a new club playing in a different system they are not used to. If I remember correctly sane and Bernardo didnt particularly impress in their first season either. Think they both deserve another season, when the will both hopefully kick on and come good

Agreed. He’s failed to perform at his job for a very fucking long time and wants to be paid more for doing so.

The thought of it annoys me every time.

Renewals of contracts is going to be an interesting ongoing subplot to all clubs post Covid.

I wonder if clubs will come together like they do in ignoring the Webster ruling and try and force players to either cap their wages or force wage cuts. Probably not, but they should.

 

[LucahArchie10]

I think people are being too hasty regarding Torres.

Been tough introduction .

Needs to play more games & for that reason I would send out on loan at Leeds or Wolves??

17-18 & 18-19 season were class everything else frustrating

To be fair he’s not gonna learn our system playing for one of them. Most of our signings get that second season boost so i’ll give him until next year to show improvements

May be Arsenal. I heard Arteta helped him a lot during his time here.

I’d be up for a £50m + Saka for Sterling deal.

 

[wolviedinho]

Cancelo is a frustrating player. At times during the season he was unstoppable. He went off the boil on international duty and has returned to being Crap. Such a shame because his passing and control in midfield was fantastic. We need him to step up again.

I don't see anything from Torres that makes me think he will be a successful winger. Any time he has excelled he has been playing as a striker and seems to be a top level finisher.
