Danilo

[Sir peace frog]

And no one ever will be.

think we should change the thread title to domalino.
I enjoy your posts when I'm not involved,its like trying to shake a pitbull off your trouser leg,hahaha

 

[blueparrot]

And no one ever will be.

Now you're just being ridiculous. If we produce a Messi or Iniesta you don't think they'll make it.

 

[Damocles]

And no one ever will be.

It's true.

Txiki Begiristain and Pep Guardiola have a terrible record of promoting youth.

Oh wait.

 

[wagonman]

By your logic no fan should express their opinion on transfers because we all need to blindly trust the management.

Frankly, before I can have any interest in opinions, especially ones stated so emphatically as yours, I need to know what knowledge these opinions are based on.

Will you give me a clue?

I find you "logic" totally irrational.

I remember when I too had the certainty of youth... I knew it all... but then years passed by and certain realisations made themselves obvious.

There are modest ways of making one's opinions known.

I don't know enough about Danilo or Maffeo to hold a valid opinion... but I am fairly sure Pep does.

 

[Proy]

And players like Jadon Sancho will follow him out the door.

Absolutely, if they're not good enough.

If they are, they'll be in.

It really is that simple.

 

[Dax777]

Only on Bluemoon would people advocate a player who's started 1 game in midfield playing ahead of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho.

I think you've missed the point. People are saying those things in an attempt to justify what even their subconscious regards as expensive for a backup.

The whole he can play 3 positions is a silly way to suggest he has more value than just being a backup RB. So that extra value of being able to play LB and DM makes the 30 million worth it. It silly really

 

[IWasHere]

He's just bought a 26 year old for £30m in his position.

He's not saying Maffeo needs a year in La Liga, he's saying "I'm spending £90m on fullbacks so I don't have to think about the position for the rest of my time at City".

This isn't a "see you in a year, Pablo" moment, this is a, "we no longer have an opening in your position, please accumulate some value in Spain so you fetch us a decent fee" decision.

Has it not occurred to you that that might be because he's not good enough?

Stop moaning about youth you sad twats does it matter since 90% of the young lads are just foreign players we have signed from other academies.

Gone are the days when local lads will come through at any club.

If we win loads of trophies i will be happy and i am much happier playing Danilo/Bertrand in a cup final than 2 youngsters.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

But Jadon Sancho is already the jewel in the academy crown at just 17. Maffeo has never really stood out

That's not really true. Maffeo has stood out at academy level and, other than the Celtic game, the few first team minutes he's been given.

Does that mean Pogba wasn't good enough for Utd when he left them in 2012?

 

[richards30]

haha , on every thread you have argument :) , I admire youre passion,but fuck me are you pig headed

yep! he needs a hobby or job mate

That's a terrible example.

I wish I had your way with words,i could of saved myself an hour with domalina :)

And Sancho's refusing to sign a professional contract.3

Now you're just being ridiculous. If we produce a Messi or Iniesta you don't think they'll make it.

No they'll get to 17 and then leave for a club who will play them.

Absolutely, if they're not good enough.

If they are, they'll be in.

It really is that simple.

So if a player leaves because they think we're not going to give them a chance, despite being the stand out player in their age group in the country, the stand out player in the u17 world cup, that means they just were never good enough for us anyway?

What a nice world that must be you live in.

 

[almir]

It's the same outrage with each of our youngsters that some people think could make it. Yet none of them made anything after moving from here. Suarez did best job yet nothing special.

 

[Proy]

Just before we go any further, my last statement was black and white.

That doesn't mean people don't make mistakes. We are humans.

But the toys are coming when people say nobody will ever get a chance at man city etc etc. It's pathetic

 

[01cravend]

Now you're just being ridiculous. If we produce a Messi or Iniesta you don't think they'll make it.

No because they won't be a Messi when at academy level so they won't get a chance(unless we pay about £40mil for them) and thus be sold to go on and to become world class elsewhere.

Kieran Trippier says you are wrong.

8 of the starting line up for the Youth Cup final were English and 1 was Welsh, so that's a load of bollocks right there.

Every fullback that has moved to a top club this season has moved for 30 million or less. Yet, folks are trying hard to convince themselves 30 million is fair for a backup.

Its mind boggling the mental gymnastics our fans want to go thru. If you don't give a shit what we pay, great. I respect that. But its folks trying to convince themselves 30 million is fair for a backup is just laughable. I mean, Real is about to make a profit on a guy they overpaid for, and who wasn't good enough for them.

Its like us pinning off Bony for 30 million. Its insane.

Anyway. :(

I don't give a shit what we pay for any player and I am at a loss to explain why so many people on here seem to do. What is important is that the player is successful with the club. I have no idea if his kid is any good, because I have never seen him play. I will hope the people at the club who have seen him play and deemed him good enough for us are proven correct.
