It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[robbieh]

What im trying to say is if we didnt spend all this time with ADL trying to sign Koulibaly and just went for Diego Carlos , Diego Carlos would probably be a City player right now. We wouldve payed his release clause, probably wouldve been done in like 24/48 hours. I didnt want Diego to begin with but Sevilla fans rate him highly so would be an upgrade on our defence. Hes apparently a leader at the back as well

Yep, Sevilla fans I know rate him highly and fully expect him to leave this summer as thats what they do with their south American players. Buy them cheap. One year of great service. Leave for a big price.

Thoughts?

Aside from the 'leaked' document being weird and clearly faked, it also doesn't make any sense as to why we would have bid for a player who at that time was disputing that he was even under contract at Barca? Also with all the leaks to the media during the Messi saga, I'm sure it would have been public knowledge before now.

I still think we're likely to put in a bid before the window closes, but I reckon they're about a month early reporting this story... gives them time to practice their photoshop skills I suppose!

Thoughts?

This document is actually quite useful. Any journalist or outlet stupid enough to take it seriously can be permanently ignored as a source of useful information going forward.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Thoughts?

FFS not another leaked document?

 

[Greenjob]

That document is most likely a fake. But, who cares? He decided to stay, we need to move on from Messi. On a different note, could we be holding back financially in order as to not be seen to be taking the piss following the FFP verdict? Afterall, we wouldn't want to be seen to be ripping the arse out of it after the positive verdict.....would we? :)

so they've gone from hacking and splicing emails together to create a false narrative to just falsifying documents in our name.

Lets not forget Otamendi was fine here for a couple of seasons.

I’ve genuinely never understood the obsession with the lad from Napoli, I feel like he’s not the be all and end all of defenders and won’t be disheartened if we go elsewhere.

I almost get the feeling the club feel the same, but good CBs are few and far between.

We could actually come out of this window weaker than we went into it. Ake aside, we haven’t really done anything with that back line. Still nothing on the left-back position. We lost Silva and Sane and we don’t appear to be interested in addressing the hole left by Fernandinho at CDM. I really wish we had moved on from Koulibaly weeks ago. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if don’t make any more signings.
