It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Good for Dortmund. I'd love to know how they intend to not sell to us if/when Haaland tells Raiola and his father that he wants to join City.

The reasoning that this is all so very personal for Dortmund and that they absolutely despise City just seems ludicrously far fetched. If they hate City so much do they equally hate Barcelona who tapped up Dembele before he went on strike to force a move? How many clubs do Dortmund hate? Are they really such a special club that they can sit in an ivory tower telling their buy to sell squad that there are in fact places those players can't go because the CEO doesn't like the colour of their skin or their money.

It is bollocks. Haaland will go where he wants. The noise is just noise.

TH hinted at it this morning somewhere too - think it was in this thread.

Either way, agreed, not sure why Dortmund think they're above any club. Perhaps that attitude is why they've become a feeder club to Bayern solidifying a one-team league.

We aren't. The circus is all around it.

Does anybody seriously think we have waited until the start of April to not present our terms to the player and ascertain that interest?

We will know the landscape and react

Do you care to explain what “flying around publicly” means? They were on a private jet. Invisible jets have yet to be invented

Yes it's all been very hush hush

Confused by Barcelona and to some extent Real being linked with Harland they should not be spending that sort of money given Covid and there debts

No way Barcelona are getting him unless Messi is going

Given the Aguero news we must have someone of real quality lined up unless we are going to get another left field signing and perhaps play more false 9 would still have to be a quality striker tho just less well known

Good stuff. The last two have been really good and flew by even though they were close to an hour long.

Barca or Real are always going to be linked to players it's just tradition, they have to give the impression they are still relevant even if the players are out of their financial league at present .

You haven’t got one of those squeaky Joe Pasquale voices have you? Or a Brummie accent?
