It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[bhayes]

He's basically their second best player, so they'd hate to sell him but it all depends on just how bad their finances are.

He's on big wages, and if they want to do a Arthur/Pjanic type swap involving Bernardo on our end, they are going to have to put up someone worth a similar amount.

i would take fdj over silva but I know that will never happen

Well these are all agents talks. Swap deal or whatever. Saul for barnardo, some swaps from barca etc. However we are not letting go of half of our team.

 

[himalayan_blues]

Try to strengthen our relationship with them maybe, from what Tolmie was hinting theirs politics at play here. Laporta is friends with half our board members.

How time has changed. I remember the early days of take over. How we aspire to be like bara. Now barca aspire to be like us.

 

[himalayan_blues]

This might be true because we will be willing to spend 110 million for him. But not more than 120 million. Definitely preferred choice of ours is haaland but dortmund will be wanting more than 150 million. Chelsea will be willing to pay that much. But kane will be available for max 120 million so preferred choice would be kane.

Pep can’t have too much power when it comes to transfers. Helping his favourite club, when there is a likelihood he could rock up there in two years, doesn’t sit well.

I wouldn’t offer Barca any water and let them wither on the vine.

I remember reading a Bayern forum and they were sure it was Pep that guided KDB to sign for City. I don't believe that BTW but it would be funny if 2 years from now we end up doing the same.

Sterling and KdB were signed on Pep’s approval. He knew he was coming to City at least a year in advance. I think Bayern would’ve taken KdB the year after, so it needed to be done that summer

Much rather it be Sterling or Gundogan that makes way,but similarly i cant see it happening.

If Laporte wants to leave if we can get €60-70m for him we should go straight to Sevilla and pay the €60m they want for kounde! Dias and Kounde could be an epic partnership imo and we need an extra top class CB as Stones will be Stones at some points unfortunately

I’ve heard from a friend of a friend that Kounde is on Utd’s radar this Summer so wouldn’t be surprised to see him there next season
