It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

That City didn't value above £100m and that I could only see it getting done at something like £70m and a player.

Can't be many players we value around £30m though? Aké? Certainly not Sterling, Jesus or Laporte.

 

[bluemanchester]

Maybe, although I don't see why City would need a middle man in Mino to give Dortmund a scare.

I am told there is no official bid in and some chancers are now getting giddy trying to appear all informed on a transfer that was always going to be a saga and tick all the usual bingo card.

Poised.
Imminent.
Set to.
Believed to.
Understood.
Likely.
Complicated.
Adamant.
Refusing.
Increase.
Walk away.
Man United poised.
Chelsea poised.
Real Madrid poised.
Barcelona poised.
Juventus poised.
Levy poised.
Abu Dhabi poised.
Khaldoon ready to fly in.
Kane ready to fly in before going on holiday...

And Jackie gets her tits out, whats not to like.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Pretty sure he said they don’t value him at more than £100 mill

Correct - £50m short of the reports last week Levy wanted £150m.

 

[Roy Munson]

Haha - to be honest, we had him on a rota, there were a few Blues taking it in turns!

Good lad. Years ago, Christian and the fella who played Andy McDonald in Corrie came into our office looking for help marketing and distributing a rag fanzine they were looking to get off the ground.

Their brews were a joy to make that day.

Question is are we just not going to sign a striker this summer if Levy doesn't budge. Is that an option do you think?

 

[Gumzy97]

Doesnt mean he is right though does it.....?

Haaland is young plays in the bundesliga would take maybe a season to get used to how we play and also the league.

Kane is multiple golden boot winner. Scores goals for fun in the premier league, would not have to adjust to the league. Slots straight into the team. That’s peps thinking probably, take a chance with an amazing youngster or sign the guy that you’ve seen for a couple of season bang in goals constantly in a league you manage in.

Swoop. Swoop's great. 'Football Rovers Utd are poised to swoop for Player Surname.' Do they still say that?

It's much better than the alternative, raid. Raids are always 'plotted'. And plotting usually leads to 'kitty'. Kitties need 'splashing'.

'Super Champs plotting 40m raid on Whitebread Town',

or

'40m Kitty Splash, pictures inside'

(leading to the inevitable disappointment when the reader discovers they aren't pictures of a very posh cat falling in the bath having insisted on walking around the rim despite it's owner's protests)

The only way to make everyone happy is to buy both and convince Messi to sign on a free with a wage cut 20 % above what Barca are offering him to stay.

Sell Bernardo, Jesus, sterling and pocket 15% of the Sancho to united sale.

If there's enough left for grealish then keep frothing everyone's piss. It will be worth it

 

[Javi Garcia's Hairstylist]

Could Spurs/Levy be braced/bracing for a second bid?

But could our swoop for Kane end up being gazumped - presumably by United?

 

[Gumzy97]

If Spurs wanted to convince Kane to stay signing Nuno the ex wolves boss isn’t going to do it, he’s 100% off
