It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[blueparrot]

We tried to sign Alexis Sanchez from Udinese and then Lavezzi.

Thought Lavezzi was a coffee.

It's how we work - plan A, B and C.

The only dispute to be had is who is plan A, Kane or Haaland. It serves us well to leverage that conjecture to get the person we really want.

Messi has always been seen as a stand alone, but I could see a pivot if he does drop the bomb, certainly in terms of being held to ransom on A&B.

Plan A must be Haaland surely.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Guz Cruz has been banging the Lukaku drum for a few months and it is certainly accurate to say De Bruyne flagged him up to Txiki during renewal talks.

Having watched him last night, I would have no worry signing him if Kane and Haaland are priced-out.

Inter are in the financial shit and reports suggest that even though Lukaku wants to stay, they may have to sell at £80m.

He looks like he has dropped 20 pounds under Conte's ridiculous training demands.

I don't care about his time at United, he was shite there and so were the rest of the team.

For context, Chelsea would have him back this summer and I wouldn't want to see him in their team.

He's a box player with immense strength, he could certainly bring some of our midfield runners into play by going beyond him when teams are playing so deep?

Haha - he was a decent talent at Napoli.

History could have been so different.

Good memory

I wrote the story ;)

We'll never know - because we will be told whoever we sign was plan A all along!

Big players, big egos.

He’s a player that in the right system looks world class. In the wrong one he looks like Akinfaye. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground with him. I can’t see him consistently taking the ball under pressure against a packed defence which is what we face most games.

Lukaku since Inter fixed his digestive issues is a completely different player. If he joined he'd be the best striker in the league.

Well unless someone signs Haaland too!

Digestive issues?

I know the food in Manchester is bad, but really?

Three plan As!
