It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I think Bernardo & Sterling's departures would be hard to take for me personally, in an emotional sense, because I love them both for different reasons. But I think them leaving would be ultimately fine for the squad, and maybe even a good thing. Say it quietly, but I think our forward line needs as much of a rebuild as the defence did in 2017, and maybe a bit of streamlining as well.

We can't carry on with the false-9 into next season because teams will figure us out, so we have to buy a striker. I also think that teams have gotten better at shutting down our attempts to get to the byline (probably why Sterling's struggled this season), which means we're going to need more skilful players who can unpick locks from outside the box. Grealish & Kane seem like our best choices for trying to solve this problem.

I think Jesus & Torres need to be swapped as well. Jesus is much more effective out wide, where he can use his strength and ability as a dribbler to influence the play - plus, his best games for City have been on the wing and I've always wanted to see him there more often. Torres is much better at finishing snap chances than Jesus is and doesn't seem to get caught offside anywhere near as often, so as a back-up #9 he'd be ideal.

Grealish & Kane are going to cost us close to, if not more than, £200m on their own, so we're going to need to raise a bit of cash. Bernardo can command £70m+ if we sell him to the right bidder, and Sterling could still command £50m+ if he has a good Euros. It would be a shame to see them both go, but Sterling and Pep maybe don't see eye to eye anymore and Bernardo might just want to be closer to home.

All perfectly understandable and perhaps even a good thing. If Mendy, Bernardo & Sterling are to leave, and Mendes, Grealish & Kane are to arrive...
If we played the B side in the cup we'd have a good chance of a City v City Community Shield......I know it was a chance this year too and we'd have had the FA Cup apart from a shite performance against peasky Chelsea.
 
We have our best season ever and everyone wants to leave? City want Dembele, but he isn't keen to move on from Barcelona (according to Sam lee). How the fuck is all this true (mostly likely isn't). They make us sound like Arsenal.

Which, I suspect, is the intention. As others have said, something very fishy about all these rumours especially those involving Barca.

Well I hope we don't want shitty Dembele, we don't need dewy shitty players ,Grealish is much better.
 
Sam's sources have been a bit dodgy recently. He lost me when he claimed Rodri was unhappy at a lack of game time - no outfield player played more!
Sources? Do you mean the made up lies?. He continues to paint city in a negative light to keep himself in a job. How can anyone call this journalism?

You can just image the situation: Sam texts his Watsapp chums and the lie is churned, created and turned into factual information. Load of knobhead chancers imo.

He didn't say that...

Rodri isn’t thrilled with how his season has ended
It makes sense, as you have said he played all season then just got binned in the biggest games. He probably was pissed off, he made his own mistakes of course but easier for him to just take his frustration out on Pep then look at himself.

Or he tells the truth but we don't want to hear it because everything at City is golden and full of roses....

Sam Lee becomes rag because he doesn't posts what City fans want to read. He may well go wrong bcoz Txiki and all don't consult him before doing anything.
Tomorrow if Sam Says we will sign Haaland and Grealish than he will be believed right away bcoz that is what people want to read

I'm just here for the fun of it and don't take anything as factual

Good or bad about City
