Look at who we've signed in the past 4 transfer windows. Yes we've had FFP to contend with but we've still spent money!

I trust the chairman. I don't trust Txiki. Exactly, I know it's only early on but the signs are undeniably ominous.

Farting about with Sterling, farting about with Juve, heard fuck all on KDB for ages and now the 'easiest' deal of the four has gone tits up! Like I said, it's ominous.
Our transfers have been the same as every other club in the league over the last few years. Some hit, some miss. We've managed to win a bit of silverware in that time whilst playing some magical football so in the grand scheme of things we're probably coming out ahead.
If we kick of the season without doing any major business that'll improve us then I'll come back and apologise to you and all the flappers - I'm pretty confident that won't be neccessary though.
 
How is this down to Txiki? Delph must have thought he wasn't going to play, and was worried about his England place. He's got Sinclair and Micah in his team who had similar experiences

Mate don't bother. Just piss yourself at it and remember it come September. Most of these lot couldn't even tell you his name let alone what he does or how talented he may be at it.
 
Then why ask "Do you actually believe we'll win the "premiership" with the current squad", if you don't think we will be contesting the premiership with the current squad?

To be honest i can't remember what I was even replying to as I was flapping, We need some pretty great players coming in if we want to win the league though imo and it seems like we're struggling to get them world class players
 
If you don't back yourself and your talent on the big stage then you had better stay where you are. Which he has. It also means he was never right for us.

It also shows that Sterling does back himself and the media shitstorm hasn't fazed him. Which also given his talent does mean he is right for us. Chuck the saved cash his way and sign him up.
indeed
you only prove yourself to be the best when playing with and against the best
maybe he did the right thing staying where he is
he's better off in the Midlands derby against West Brom then running out to face Neymar and Messi
 
Heard Delph got to Ashton New Road, saw the new South Stand and got overwhelmed. Then saw the campus and thought 'bloody hell, I thought I was moving to a bigger club, not a stratospheric one' and bottled it ;-)
 
But we've had since the end of season to sort things out.

Look at who our rivals have signed! Arse have Cech, Chelsea have Falcao. . . Then The Tampons have got PigFucker, Depay and Darmien. . . And then the scousers have about 6 new players including Jimmy. We're in danger of getting left behind again.

I assume you will add to that the fact that you know nothing about the negotiations taking place and that just because the club isn't telling you the in's and out's daily doesn't mean that nothing is going on. Delph changed his mind, nothing the club can do about that. It obviously wasn't the easiest as the player had doubts. It could be as simple as his partner just having a baby and he felt it was to much change at one time. Nothing Txiki can do about a decision based on Delphs personal life. You seem to see things as black and white but they aren't.

Heard he watched some Nando highlights on Youtube - all 20 seconds of them.

Said 'how the fuck will I compete with that' and pulled out.
 
It's down to opinions I guess, but in my opinion, Fernando wouldn't get in Hull's midfield. A truly dreadful footballer.

Milner was great when playing wide against top opposition in making us solid, but in central midfield he stunk the joint out. Doesn't have the speed of thought, tactical awareness or first touch to play centre midfield at the top level.

Delph is a huge upgrade on both in central midfield. He moves the ball quickly, picks the intelligent pass, reads the game well, has great pace, drive and energy. If he was called Delphinho, played for Zenit and we were only judging him on Youtube clips, people would be excited by this one. I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.


I hope you're right. But l don't see any of the British top teams interested in Delph. Let alone European top teams. Therefore 'huge' is overrating the player. Obviously l hope he will turn out ' huge' for us though.
As for Fernando, the same was said about Garcia. And he turned out ok in the end. Never understood him leaving tbh. I always judge foreign players in their 2nd season.

I don't think things are black and white. Nor do I think this transfer is necessarily his fault. I just don't trust him or his judgement!

You're right I know nothing about the in's and outs, but in my opinion there is a real sense of foreboding about this transfer window.

Yep and if playing for England in a short lived Euros makes more sense then playing in CL season in, season out, then we've learned plenty without him kicking a ball.
How far we've come when you'll be good enough for England, but not necessarily for City.
