It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Gumzy97]

I think this is going to come to bite us in the ass, like not replacing Kompany did. Relying on Torres for the entire season in that position is dangerous. With him playing for Spain as well. Jesus looks like he will have to quarantine if Brazil pick him.

Delap I see him getting game time in the cup, not the league pep doesn't like throwing youngsters straight in gives them a couple minutes at a time. To bed in.

Sterling can play there but he's got amazing movement but can't finish 1v1 as we saw against arsenal not ruthless enough.

Leaves us very very light up front. Relying also on a 21 year old who's still learning to be a striker is risky.

 

[meeesh]

Maybe it’s not a striker we are looking at?

Maybe it's for the position we've needed for one for 3 years with a bit of luck

What about fall-out from Mbappe transfer to Real Madrid?

 

[Danamy]

At this stage in the window keeping Bernardo will give me the same buzz as any other signing we could hope for, what he offers the team/squad is irreplaceable

What evidence do you have that a 2nd bid for £125m/£130m was ever made.

kane pulled out of the transfer. At the time I took this as an indicator that City were in for Ronaldo but it seems we knew we wouldn't get Ronaldo.

I think City let these transfer stories play out in the media and then quietly get on with their own transfer business. The fact that City were looking at Ronaldo's situation and that Kane pulled out just when the so-called £125m Kane bid was being prepared suggests to me that a lot of the Kane talk was simply hot air.

Well tolmie said we had put in our final ans best offer, then 2 days later we had pulled out.

got to be off ya nut if you think it was all hot air !!! Hot air for what ???

we always , always distant ourself from a player if we aren’t interested.

I think we will see against Leicester if Ferran can be a threat up front against a more challenging team that the club were right to go with him.

Defensive midfield and left back are areas we might improve. We made a big mistake in this window in tracking Kane for too long. If you have £200m to spend, it's better to deploy it on the pitch than have it in the bank - providing you can find a player who can justify the fee. I find it difficult to believe that City could not have found a better DM than Rodri and Fernandinho.

Difficult to know for sure if we were tracking Kane all Summer. The media said we were but were we? Kane obviously sussed a move was not going to happen.

Contradicting yourself with Kane

Agreed mate. Would love Mendes to come in and set us for that problem position for years to come! Have sporting signed Porro yet? Maybe a deal including him?

 

[DrBlueBob]

we will not be signing ronaldo this summer
we will no be signing messi this summer
we will not be signing david de gea this summer
we will no be signing a ugandan one legged hunchback this summer

fucking easy this itk stuff, some members on here are fucking crackpots, bdw an itk haha

You're going to look like a prize plum when that funny looking Ugandan hops through the gate at the Etihad tomorrow.

I just told you: to get on with our activities without it being public knowledge. Doesn't the timing of Kane's decision suggest that City's reported 2nd bid was complete nonsense and hot air? Why would Kane pull out then, if City were about to get serious? Suggests that there was a lot of smoke and very little fire.

 

[bobmcfc]

Are you serious?

You’ve fallen for the oldest trick in the book!

Over 95% of transfer rumours do not result in a signing. Every now and again BDW pops up and says a transfer is not happening. Each time he does it he has a 95% chance of being correct.

What you need to find are his predictions where he says something positive is going to happen and he consistently gets them right. I’ll tell you now you will struggle.

You could do what he does. Give it a go…just say that there is no way we will be getting Mbappe next season then be amazed at your previously unknown insider knowledge.

Lol

 

[leo_city]

Just got to hold on for 2 days, we'll get through

 

[Keeper!]

It's on! ;)

No it suggests our final offer was in, and spurs said no , so we backed out and allowed Kane to make his statement.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Close thread we’ll go again January 1st

Don't use that phrase mate. It's copyright Dippers Ltd. Thank goodness.

 

[Gumzy97]

I do think throughout this Khaldoons pride has been hit. He was so confident in that interview of a replacement now being called a liar. Also the super league stuff. Its why I think he might be ruthless next year in the transfer market

 

[bobmcfc]

I don't think we can pin everything on Torres

We need Haaland Now.


Pretty please

Is that not then a huge waste of time if we never serious about getting Kane? The chairman said in his interview we were going to replace Sergio with a world class forward and our summer targets had been identified yet we realistically done
Nothing on the striker front!?! There must have been another on the list or you should be prepared to do the £150m if required? We have the cash, relaxation again of FFP, and the rest of the premier league and Europe would have shit their pants if we got him? Now all I hear is no striker and people who support other clubs getting excited we haven’t done what we were allegedly going to do to dominate again!

I think the timing of his decision suggests City told him "that's our best offer and he won't even respond, so it's over."
