It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Newman Noggs]

Mortgaging off part of their future tv rights, rather than taking a couple of years to reset, is foolish, but they normally generate so much revenue (in the last full pre-Covid year, they earned €840m compared to our €610) that they'd still be able to compete at the very top.

I just wonder how much of that historic revenue they will have lost when Messi departed the Nou Camp. Hopefully, a great deal of it.

We could have signed him on the spot now if we wanted to

The countless times this guy was linked with us,unbelievable amount,then bang Chelsea come in and he’s signed more or less straight away,albeit a few years later from when we were so called interested

93.20’s arc from respected ITK into another clout chasing chancer is very sad.

When he gets home from his 3 day Ket and brass bender I'm sure he will be very disappointed to read this...

 

[Chi-town blues]

Koulibaly announced at Chelsea. Good signing for them.

Enjoyable that the bellend owner has gone from rejecting (apparently) €70m from us 2 years ago to selling for a cut price because he wouldn’t sign a new contract.

Red card gifter .

just posting this in both neymar and this thread

Sam Lee doesn’t need bluemoon or anybody else’s help to look stupid, especially when it comes to transfers.
He does a fine job all by himself
That said I’d agree with him that this was absolute bollocks all along

 

[not my fault!]

Just back from getting my Neymar tattoo, looks fantastic. So what’s the latest?

Why are they getting a cheaper deal exactly

Buy two, get discount on second player.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Bs, if it wasn’t what City wanted, he wouldn’t be going.

 

[razman]

the same guy said 35-40m yesterday, the discount puzzles me

I think the name above this piece has been misspelled. Need to substitute an 'n' for the first 't' in the surname.

I suspect if we are not quite getting the price we want for Zinchenko then it’s linked to progressing another deal (Cucurella) and we are against the clock on both. As long as the prices for both aren’t worlds apart then it’s good business for the squad.

Personally I think £35M sounded about right so £30M isn’t miles off. Over the last 5 years here in the PL he’s played 533, 1153, 1272, 1474 & 1042 minutes. So he’s only averaging 10-12 games maximum in the side per season in a position that isn’t his own.

You’d expect a full-time left-back will offer the squad a lot more contribution than that over the course of each season. I’d hope so at least for the money touted.

Do we trust a man who's name is an anagram of Dilate Cünts.

Would've thought we'd have made Arsenal of all clubs pay up exactly what we wanted. Hopefully it's for the reason you state. Playing FB for us takes abit more tactically than other places, when to come into midfield etc. so the more time Cucurella gets, the better (if he does come)

Not sure we can accept anything a journalist says at face value. It could be 20+10 or 30+10 or 25+5 easy +5 not so easy. Basically anywhere between 20 guaranteed and 40 including add-ons.

Let's wait for an announcement.

Any doors been blown off today ?

Don't think so, he's still drying out I think.
