It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

You're not thinking of Guy Gibson are you? In which case yes; don't mention the dog.

Why, what has Lassie done

 

[Burtonblue]

Worth more than £52 million imho.
How often does a club accept the first offer?? I’m sure the club will have set a minimum target price.
We will make a counter offer and suspect be happy to settle for £60m or thereabouts.
That’ll be decent profit for the club.

I would always play Benardo in our midfield as I think we are a better team when he plays. He brings out the best in other players and makes us more balanced. I think we'll struggle to find a 3 in midfield that is more effective than one where he features. For that reason alone I would hate to see him leave, regardless of the price.

He’s best form was in the chasing Liverpool down season when Kev was out and he showed maybe 70% of that last year again when Kev was out but was helped out by cancelo and Ilkay. He isn’t a game changer , he doesn’t score or assist like a real number 10 or creative player or attacking wide player. Hence why we won’t get a 70/80 million fee for him.

Whilst I agree that the 98 point season was his best & that his stats for goals & assists aren’t great, I completely disagree about him not being a game changer

The whole teams press & tempo is on another level when Bernardo plays in the centre, which for me means he is most certainly is a game changer

Yeah sometimes , depends if he’s up for it imho.

his press and tempo were none existing in the champions league final and other games.

He’s like Sane was you can tell after 5 mins if he’s up for it or on his game.

Think this will end with a world famous loan with obligation to buy

 

[Legal Alien]

That obviously is the market though, we aren't turning down a bigger bid from any club he would go to. That is the market so that's the market value. How are we soft?

We are always buying high, because teams know they can ask big money but we, seemingly, give our players away when we sell.

When was the last time we got a decent fee for one of our players? because i can't remember.

Fact sancho was a young hot prospect , wr are begging people to take Bernie

Pep himself said that if anybody is unhappy it is incumbent on them to find a club and then approach City with a deal.

That is not “wr are begging people to take Bernie” is it?

Well yeah he wants to leave ,clubs hardly beating the door down , Mendes been asking clubs if they would like to take him. Doesn’t take a genius to figure it out.

We did okay with Kelechi...but this summer we sold Harrison for only £11m and Angelino goes for £18m, when Brighton get £50m for Ben White.

You are very wrong. It does take a genius. And you are the genius for the job.

When Liam Gallagher sang the words “we see things they’ll never see” he was thinking about you.

 

[Damanino]

I really wonder if someone would approach us for Ruben Dias at what fee would we start thinking about?
And what fee would we accept of for him if he stated that he wants to leave and what the difference between the two.

would we even refuse to sell him for 120m pounds if he doesnt say to Txiki, Pep that he wants to leave"please let me go", but would we accept 50-60m for him if he asks to leave?

Why do you think that is then. Are we turning down bigger bids. Do we not know what we are doing and nobody bothers fixing it. Or do we operate in a different market to most teams?

we seem to want to help players move if they are not happy , that involves selling them for a reasonable price , i like it that we are helping the young ones leave and the oldies stay till the end of their contracts , it is just the way we do business and we are doing ok

No idea but this isn't a new thing, even going back to the early 80's when we got rid of Peter Barnes, Gary Owen, Steve McKenzie, Tommy Caton etc i can't remember ever being happy with what we sold them for.
