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

[jay laruja]

Aguero to extend (gives us another year to find a striker)
Messi to come in (bonus really)
Ake signed
Torres signed
1 x CB more to sign
1 x midfielder to sign

No one material to leave apart from bit part players

We will look at this as a great window in the future.

And don’t forget, there is a queue of really good youth now too so we may just see the next three or four windows with very little activity as we use a depth of squad to get us through the big competitions and use the Doyle’s, delaps etc in the cups.

No LB?

No LB?

Does miss bum bum have release clause ?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Just think how much space Kev is going to get when Messi takes two defenders with him wherever he goes.

Just imagine how deep some teams will sit, especially Newcastle.

There are games now where our DM ends up marking our opponents furthest player forward.

 

[lonestay]

My only concern is will Messi be as consistent as the scums new signing penalty .

 

[doobyedoobye]

No LB?

We have 5 options there currently

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Imagine miss bum bum in Mary d’s before the match loooool

 

[Bald fraud]

It was explained earlier it’s perfectly legit and UEFA can’t cover it under FFP. Very clever move by City and another ingenious way to a) circumnavigate the rules, b) piss off the rest of the footballing world

We all know what’s coming though that twat Gill will just change the rules!

 

[BlueBas]

With Messi in our team the worldwide scrutiny of our matches will be unlike anything we've ever known. Hopefully it will make it harder for PGMOL and VAR to eff us over every week!

He better be quick then, you can’t change them after the fact and backdate them.

 

[Coatigan]

holy shit Hagrid is super reliable for Barca stuff isn’t he?!

He is quite bad at keeping his mouth shut.

Ridiculous.

So when building regs change / evolve, does every non compliant House owner get fined or have to rebuild?

Exactly, we have some real doom mongerers in this thread

I should not have said that.

Now being reported that he has in fact missed the Covid testing, just gotta wait for Barca’s response now then

 

[razman]

Totally agree with this last paragraph from the Sam Wallace article (Telegraph). Posted link in the other thread

There were some things the Abu Dhabi money simply could not buy, City were often told, and at times that was proved correct. But what Messi’s arrival says, more perhaps even than winning the Champions League this month would have done, is that anything is possible. For City, for Abu Dhabi, that feels like the whole purpose of the enterprise – the proverbial shining city built in the desert. Besides, a club win the Champions League every year – only one in history will have the opportunity to take Messi from Barcelona.

Thought the covid testing was today? Assumed later on, not this early!?

I suspect this will all conclude quickly now

So did I to be fair it was being reported on twitter so don’t know if it’s accurate or not

Says he’s due in training in half an hour so makes sense to get a test before work
