Was Txiki here when we bought Sinclair, Maicon, Rodwell and Garcia. Ferran was here. Or was this all down to Marwood? Certainly Mancini might have wanted Maicon, ex Inter, and apparently rated Rodwell.
The new signings if they are Txiki's do seem sound. The only question concerns letting Kolo go and not getting a CB in.
You really are better off asking someone else when it comes to who unofficially called the shots and when. I get no information from inside the club. If the getting of ITK information was a game of chess, I would be a pawn.
No, Txiki wasn't here, at least not officially. Ferran's official operating role is to grow revenue, although there will definitely be more to it than that, but getting players is more Txiki's responsibility both officially and one would have to believe de facto. It's the role to which he is best suited. As to how much input Pellegrini or Soriano has, again, I am the opposite of ITK. Doubleplus unITK.

You are one of the few people who has genuinely pissed me off though. You're one of only two people who I've blocked. You're the only person I've blocked twice.
