It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Phoenix900000]

Pretty disappointing window in not resolving the striker issue. Oh well bring on the season I say

[LongsightM13]

What makes you think that?

Pep's comments suggesting that our window is over?
The club's press briefing that suggests the same?
Our record of never making late panic buys under Txiki?

he literally just tried to make a late panic buy

That's how to close a deal. Only first linked with the rag twat about 5 hours ago

Just think, there was once a time when we had Dzeko, Tevez, Aguero and Balotelli.

now we have Jesus who has decided he wants to play on the wing, and Torres, a young winger who decided he wants to play up front.

all while two of our main rivals have each signed one of the top 5 strikers in the world.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Haha,thats one spin on it by the Rag ****

 

[pudge]

Well that, was fucking dreadful

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

I agree with this but I keep seeing Messi get put in there. We were screwed by him last summer but didn't go near him this summer (unfortunately)

Hopefully there’s 10.30 news tonight about anything

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Why did he say that? Does he really want to be a winger or did he think a new striker was coming in and he didn;t want to be a standby

Well he’s not a 9 is he, and he knows that.

We could have had Messi but we decided to develop a tunnel vision pursuit of Harry Kane with no evidence that we could definitely get it done. The window has been stunningly incompetent. We will not hear the end of it. You all know this deep down.

We couldn’t, Messi knew exactly what our offer was, and what PSG were offering. The fact within 2 days of being unable to register for Barcelona he was a PSG player tells you what he decided.
IMO we’ll be fine and break the record again for the number of players with over 10 goals this season.That’s what I think deep down.

Bollocks

The Rags would have been all over this from the moment it was stated he could leave Juventus

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Messi we passed on, Kane was too expensive and ronaldo wasn't a priority.

Or is someone going to try and tell me that Mendes getting his client to twerk for us for two days constitutes a concerted effort on our behalf?

 

[Coatigan]

Not sure he would even get a work permit

He will for girona.


He might just be young enough to count as an academy player rather than professional. Guessful-wishful thinking.

 

[Sir peace frog]

cant say im sorry about kane or ronaldo, both transfers didnt get the juices flowing for me, i think i have a sergio hangover,and will judge any new striker against probably my all time/joint hero .

i and many more on these forums need to get over this, i wasnt overly keen on kane, i just didnt think he was a "city" player, he would of got us lots of goals though.


as for ronaldo , ive posted ive always fucking hated him, arrogant slimy all about me player, however again he would of bagged us plenty of goals.


is that it, are we done, a dont subcribe to slagging anyone at city off for whats happened over the window, we went for grealish and got him, we went for kane and am glad we didn't spend 150 odd million on him.

as for ronaldo, we were offered him,weighed it up and said no(according to ssn), i can only assume it was his wages or he had things he wanted in his contract, who knows, still think we will be competitive in every game/competition we play, and that's all i can ask for from city, they have worked wonders these last 10 or so years, they all have plenty in the bank for me.

 

[chaddblue]

Well he’s not a 9 is he, and he knows that.

He's a better number 9 than anything else at the club

 

[bluethrunthru]

yet we are the one's with all the trophies and still have the cash in reserve. I love failure.

 

[Goater=Legend]

What a week lol

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Every time we win the title we take our eye off the ball. Done it again.

Spent too long chasing Kane and should have set them a pre-Euros deadline. Fatal mistake. Now players who would have done a job for us have gone.

Lol

So where does that leave us now

Think we are ending the window without signing a striker

it leaves us with another title winning squad and manager. That’s what.

I won't hold my breath
