It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

What's the last subtweet in reference to?

I think Sean Dyche when mentioned about City signing said - " I dont know if they are going to buy a player or a club "

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Every line makes sense.

and the last subtweet :

It’s unfortunate that comments by Sean Dyche or a journalist employed by a holier than thou newspaper tweets bothers Manchester City so much. It’s of no relevance or consequence unless you let them get to you. Big mistake.

Khaldoon has run this club superbly over the past decade. He isn’t going to change how he spends our cash now just because we need a striker. We should be lucky we have someone like him as our chairman.

With Kane done and dusted now. In retrospect, should we have gone back for Messi when the time came? Was it even an option at the time?

 

[Cobwebcat]

Has the window shut yet?

On our targets yes. As to your exact question no.

 

[Petetheblu]

Do we need anyone else though?

I mean we scored 5 on Saturday..!

4 different scorers (5 with the one chalked off) and an own goal, with 2 of our subs on the scoresheet too..

Early days but we played well against Norwich, so much so that I remember saying to my mate at half time that we'd score another 3 in the second half after coming in 2-0 up at HT..!


Haha..!

I think against a better organised defense we may struggled. Maybe Delap could be the answer, I'd fookin love that!

We're not the big draw for players that some people on here seem to have convinced themselves.
Top 'elite' players will only come to Manchester City for one or both of two reasons...
1. To play under Pep Guardiola
2. Money
When Pep goes, it's 100% down to the money. If we want to keep playing with the big boys, we'll have to start throwing big money around soon or we may find ourselves doing without CL football in a couple of years time.

I think we are a big draw for players, as long as we paid the same money as the other big clubs do. We can’t match what Barca and Real pay their players. I’m convinced Haaland would be a City player this summer if we didn’t give a fuck about our wage structure.

He's right that we should give a fuck what others say. PSG don't

nobody, absolutely nobody disputes that. But the point is fair. It’s almost like they are afraid to offend at times, and a decade later we know that approach doesn’t garner them any respect whatsoever.

Neither

Hope not.. this window can't get any more worse

I don’t buy it. The reason why we haven’t caved into Levy’s demands is because we don’t value Kane at £150m. We have our limitations, it’s not because we’re scared of what other nasty people may say.

Exactly!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Bernardo shouldn't be going anywhere now unless we get a striker in. He needs to stay now.

Why do we have to explain ourselves fucking 100 times that we didn't pay 100M for grealish then? Whatever you say we care what other think.

again, what demands? It’s widely reported we never spoke to Levy. There were no demands. Levy simply refused to negotiate. Our valuation didn’t come into it if you believe all the stories that came from reliable sources this past week.

Who’s said we didn’t spend £100m on Grealish?

 

[decmancity]

We didn't. Pep got asked a question, he answered.

 

[samuelyeboah]

Lads you had 2 months. You are the ones that decided not to look at ANYONE else! Don't go out now saying "oh getting someone else now would be kneejerk" - you had the time to assess more than one option! Did not a single person in the club envision a situation where spurs reject a Kane bid?

Fucking what?

I was agreeing with your list finished at number 2. I'll give you that the club isn't the big a draw as some on here believe it to be, but we have more than just pep and money. We're the most successful english club of the last decade, regardless of who our manager is players stand a better chance of winning trophies with us than others.

How'd we manage to win two premier league's before pep showed up? There might be a dip when he leaves but we'll be fine.
