It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

That sound is my dear old dad turning in his grave, he would detest the bastardization of the English language by today's media. A great sub was my old man who dug a lot of journos out of the shite.

He would also detest my letter "Z" Americanisation!

Tommie. Do a Coleen Rooney. Give us an ‘exclusive’ that City are about to bid for Phil the face or Rooney may just have had further weetabix stapling and see how far it goes.

Just read earlier posts. Apologies, not for the first time I am miles behind and have parroted others. This BM posting malarkey is a full time occupation Isn’t it!

You should see me with a mug and a microwave!

Fucking deadly.

Kinell, I can't tell if you are a cook, a journo, or a stay at home dad

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Have we had a bid accepted for somebody Tolmie?

No.

 

[LongsightM13]

No.

Surely you mean….

 

[ArdwickAlbert]

Someone mentioned Scotland. Shorten that to Scot, at a T you get Scott. Coming in on a free is… Scott Carson

That's all I'm trying to do, pick apart the original 'exclusive' by Romano and the subsequent cowards who decided to run with it also.

You can flip it the other way. We offer Raheem, Spurs say we will do the deal if it includes him, and Raheem tells us, 'Nah, I ain't go there'.

Does anyone really believe City would operate in such a way that they make this offer without having a firm idea that Sterling would want his name in the equation?

City's business for Kane won't be predicated on us perhaps wanting to move certain players on, yet hoping for the best those surplus to requirements are on the same page.

I'll come back to my original question, does anybody with an ounce of common sense believe Raheem has allowed City to propose his name to Spurs, irrespective of whether we are contemplating a sale this summer?

Raheem Sterling isn't leaving for anywhere this summer unless he hits the jackpot and one of the big three in Spain are suddenly winning El Gordo.

City might not like it, as they would obviously want to avoid him running down his deal, but we are in no position to dictate his sale, never mind propose him to the third best team in London, about to lose their star man to the Premier League champions.

Sterling isn't daft, he will be speaking to Kane, he has no intention of leaving this summer.

I've always completely switched off the split second I see a headline that mentions players in "swap deals".

I genuinely don't ever remember any high profile transfers involving swaps for other players. Apart from on computer games when I was 14. Mainstream media journos must all still play Champ Manager

Cancelo was signed as a swap deal.
Arthur/pjanic was another recent one.
