It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I am on board with the Rodrigo Riquelme signing but does he have enough quality to make an real impact?

 

[loio]

Nope. We all knew he would be going - only you were taken in

The level here lol. So you see all this like some kind of fight, "fandom"

 

[grandsolo]

Txiki is caught off guard this window.. Im not convinced. And Riquelme is part of this, I like him as a player though. But I dont think they really expected Gundo to go and is on their heels because of that. Surely Mac Allister etc would have been worked on earlier then. The (obvious) targets are drying up. Bellingham, Szoboslai, Tonali and now Veiga.. even Tielemans really

Yep, the man who signed the treble winning players was caught off guard. Lol

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

We surely won't pay that much just to do Girona a favour, and he's nowhere near good enough for us.

Not sure you can argue he's one for the future either - he's older than Haaland and Foden.

I wouldn't call the Kovacic signing being caught off guard

We will know the deal is close once the buzz word bingo card is full.

We would need to have evaluated our options, unlocked the door, monitored the player. Pep must be in love with the player, oh and talks must enter the crucial hours, within the coming days the talks could intensify before reaching the final stages..

Then we have to wait for the player to pack their bags and have their goodbye meal before the medical.

That is not fair comparison Haaland and Foden are among best talents of their generation,he is same age as them, also reports are he doesn't want to go on loan.

I am sure you know everybody in England, journalists+ all "ITK"s on here (2) thought he would extent, as late as 2 days before. +Gundos self professed call to Pep.

Never thought it. Who was the last player to run down his contract with us and then re-signed? Please don't include Fernandinho as we had an understanding later in his stay here that he would go year to year that was both to his and our liking...

Carson? :)

 

[BlueDejong]

CONFIRMED Manchester City's interest in RODRIGO RIQUELME. The operation is purely for him to end up in the PREMIER, not a favor for him to return to Girona on loan. If an agreement ends up being reached, it will be to, a priori, play light blue.

At least an argument, thanks. As I have stated before I think Kova is a replacement for the role in the team (minus the wing) for Bernardo, ball retention and circulation, +progressive ball carrying, and high energy pressing, who they have known wanted to leave for 3 years now and Mendes is in "charge" of both PSG and Saudi now so..

No, I didn't know that.


I suspect I know why I didn't know that though...

Not just us - pretty sure that once players get into the final season the re-sign rate is already incredibly low, and by the time contracts end, it's very rare.

 

[merz]

do we get something from the nmecha deal? 30mio is a lot. left 2y ago

 

[RayCTID]

You forgot 'readied the warchest'

Or 'In Principal'

 

[MadchesterCity]

awww bless her mate, like you say though if she is in a residence where people are trained to help and its basically on your doorstep then its a win win? Yeah the lack of sleep is the killer isnt it? My daughter Sofia gets a bit upset when we cant understand her but shes learnt to write it down or draw a picture for us as well?

Beautiful girl and beautiful name

You're not following the forum in that case.
