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

if we go for luiz this window, i think it is far too soon. needs another season or so of first team football before coming back

What the hell?

I’m happy about this if true. Think he moved to Villa for work permit reasons, hence the buy back clause. He will make an excellent back up for Rodri. I’ve been keeping a so so eye on him in anticipation. No signs he is world class but mobile, alert and confident on the ball.

This is not correct. We are not signing Luiz this window.

We are happy to wait another year and see how he develops.

Are we after another Villa player instead perhaps?

Dougie provides one thing our midfield needs: some legs, energy, dynamism. For 25m buyback its near perfect

Why? Do you think Villa will be any better next season? He’l spend the majority of his time running around the pitch closing down players and trying to get the ball to Grealish, who might not even be there. Another year there is just another year of the exact same experience.

Far better to get him back now and have Pep show him what to do. If Guardiola does leave at the end of next season, I’d rather Luiz had enjoyed that learning experience over hearing Smith repeat the same instructions.

Any news on out goings @tolmie's hairdoo I assume we need space

I don't know why people think the board can't work on the other transfers at the same time as trying to coax Messi into leaving.

Because signing Messi will cost at least 100 million in transfer fee alone, if he's on similar to what he is now at 400k a week thats another 20 million on top, and he will have performance related bonuses on top of that. Our budget isn't big enough to try and sign the 3 players we desperately need whilst also having 120 million (minimum) just sitting there in case we somehow convince Messi to come.

is it Luis and youth or defender and pep? You keep changing and editing

This is getting confusing,pep talking about a new contract was on Twitter this morning

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

So the updates are

We are signing Luiz
No we are not
Pep is going to be replaced by Pochettino
Pep is extending next week maybe!!!!
We are balls deep in for Messi Who is past his best
We are being used by Messi for a new contract but we didn’t want him anyway

Fuck me please give me the music videos as they are easier to try and guess what we are up to
