@Ezzy

Any updates on the transfers ?

Lol

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

That's disappointing. Guess he won't be one of next week's signings 93.20 referred to then. Whoever they are I really hope they're proper first team level players.

The squad have the next fortnight off and the window is small anyway, certainly in terms of wanting names in before the season starts again.

Stands to reason Txiki will now attempt to get busy once the European competitions do end this weekend.

City are making is very clear that no bid has been lodged for Koulibaly and it's not even very clear if it's going to come.

If there are two names already done, it's can't be Koulibaly, certainly not according to people at City.

Wouldn't we ? I think we would have been in Cl final with him. Barca do not have the same team as us. Messi seems to be a missing dice in the puzzle we have not solved. Of cource a good CB is needed. We need some big game players who can score in difficult times like Messi, ronaldo, Mbappe. We had Yaya once. Pep needs messi and messi needs pep as well. Pep took Bayern to cl semis and city o QF only. It has not been once or twice. It seems like eternal. Someone needs to rescue his overthinking. May be a good assistant coach or someone leader in the pitch. Our team do not have a big game player. When mit matters Sterling and jesus bottles chances.

If both Stones & Otamendi are going, we would then have Laporte, Ake & Garcia, who doesn't want to play for us, as cb options.

So, after Garcia has played Offside Roulette time & again & we've lost to some fucking no mark attack yet again & again & Laporte has joined Stones on his 19th nervous breakdown, we have Fernandinho & Ake, for the winter schedule.

If Stones is staying, then, seeing as Pep doesn't play him, the above still counts except Stones gets to have a go at some point.

So we need another cb, under any circumstance.

I'd count Fernandinho out of that scenario. Lockdown and now back to back seasons have come at the wrong time for him. Can't see him being a bit part player because he'll be even further off the pace when he does play.

Ahh, Tolm. I've always been dubious of your musical taste, but you've redeemed yourself. Check out some of the stuff released as the Finn Brothers. Wonderful. Eadible Flowers is a beautiful piece of music.

Ha - will do mate - first music I ever bought was their Woodface album.

All I Ask and Whispers and Moans are two of my all-time greatest.

I’m hoping it’s Kane. Would be a major statement and an immense addition.

Kane over Messi!!! What parallel universe have I just wandered into?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We negotiate a fee then make the bid

Not really mate. It's the same conversation/negotiation in essence.

It's not as formal as that.

We obviously always get the agent and player onside first with personal terms.

Kane over Messi!!! What parallel universe have I just wandered into?

Because theres not a cat in hells chance that we will ever get Messi.

Because theres not a cat in hells chance that we will ever get Messi.

I thought that was the same for Kane?
