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

Tolmies either has some real gossip here and he can't say specifics or he's winding us all up

Or he’s just saying the window isn’t closed yet, stuff could still happen.

I hope I am wrong but I don't think we will have enough time to sign Messi by October 5th considering we are dealing with a lunatic here.

Messi isn’t a lunatic. He’s a genius.

It might not be over in the eyes of some optimistic people at City (and Tolmie, whose optimism shines through in how he shares the info he gets), but it very clearly is over in the eyes of Bartomeu. Doesnt matter what we think.

The only way anything can happen now is if Bartomeu gets a vote of no confidence (a number of Barca members have done this apparently but nowhere near enough to make the threshold to set things in motion) and even then they will need to go through a process to get someone to replace him and then that person would have to make a very bold move to agree a fee with us - there’s just no time to do all that, there’s too many dependencies and variables, Messi may even stay with a new president anyway. Just can’t see it myself, would love to be proved wrong.

That would not happen in time, for this window. A vote of no confidence would be worse, than bartomeu surviving one, imho.

Seems a vote of no confidence, would see him replaced in November. After the window shuts, but in time to offer messi the world before January. Bartomeu being in charge in March makes January window a bit more interesting.

It isn't over!!

Fair enough. I say the team looked really shaky the moment Fern was taken out of midfield, that's where I'd strengthen. Just my opinion.

I agree. Not having him there left us open to more chances but also shifting from defence to attack.

I’d love a galactico style signing though!

We are not even linked to anyone.
And may I ask you show me some proof that we are actually going for messi even now? There is no news from anywhere that city are going for messi since interview

Your simply ranting on your assumptions

we play next week, we finished 18 points off Liverpool and haven’t had any preseason games

any signings should have been nailed off soon as we got our ban over turned

Is every other team finished? by my reckoning we need one more and that's well progressed. Think fans of othere teams wish they were as far along as we are, except possibly chelsea.

Could it not just be a a wailing, cry of despair aimed at the KK saga?

 

[Pete Scaithe]

People can’t seriously think we can sign Messi now can they ?? Ha ha for the love of god surely we can’t

Tolmies either has some real gossip here and he can't say specifics or he's winding us all up

He’s not winding anyone up.
