It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Why, what makes you think that.

I'd say a few factors. Regardless of his quality, he is an attacking midfielder/winger. Doesn't seem our way to spend 100m (would be a record fee) on a position we're not overly lacking on, unless there's a departure first, which hasn't happened, despite rumours of Bernardo being the one on his way out.

If we do spend that, and get Grealish in before a sale, it would make our position weak with whoever wants to buy Bernardo imo, considering La Liga clubs are not doing so well financially, they could simply turn around and say a loan + option to buy for €50-60m odd, or just offer lower than what we value Bernardo at. Just thinking out loud obviously. I have stated before I would absolutely love Grealish in our side, just seems that it's well far away than what we might believe.

Something big really has been kicking off these last few days.

Have friends at CFG who state the club has done its business.

That's a very bold statement and one which excites and worries me in equal measure.

Someones made a move for Bernardo so we’ve gone all in for Grealish maybe

 

[The Doctor]

Are we still in for some positive news this week from Sterling?

Why would it worry you mate?

 

[TheThirdDeano]

I'm assuming the deals are done and we're waiting to announce
Rather than we're doing fucking nothing.

Please haha

Showing your age now there.

We used to use paper cards and I think these days they use some sort of leccy key?

Unless you were like my old man who was tipped off that using an old camera film negative could be slipped inside the meter wheel and that stop it turning!!

Allegedly ;)

*mum and dad used to always say to me as a nipper, always look out of the window first before answering the door!!

Hope its positive business that as been done

Cityitus in me always fears the worse

 

[Centurions]

Presumably because it could mean we've completed all deals or that we've decided we're not going to bother given some of the prices bandied about?

Why worry?

Someone we are going to be sad to lose, or don't we have our man/men?

 

[blueparrot]

Kane and grealish done then.

Either that or we aren't buying anyone :)

haha we are done!

we play next season with the players we have suppose we have an awesome academy with 3/4 top players who can step up!

That sounds about right, hopefully we've got the deals over the line.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Let's just say we have some people inside the CFG who know fuck all about football and how it actually works.

The club actually likes to employ people who don't support City or don't have a real passion for football as such.

I have a couple of contacts within it and their bullishness is welcome, but we all know how things can get fubar.

 

[abu13]

Can't help feeling that we have both Grealish and Kane in the bag, can't see us doing much more than that and there is no way that anything would be announced while England are still in the Euro's.

Unsure how this leaves Bernardo and Laporte though given that Aguero and Garcia have already left.
