It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[LangleyBlue1970]

I hate all this tier stuff. Seems like self awarded top trumps stuff to me. Then again I just don't like all these twitter so called ITK s either.

I vaguely remember the players being given tiers last year. The phrase 'we don't sell tier one players' was one. Very, very raggish.

To be fair some of the best bits of ITK posting in the past have come from weird sources. Remember the poster who was on a cruise with Joe Royle and found out we were signing Rodwell..

Not saying this fella is right but he’s put his neck on the line anyway.

That 36 hours could be medical tomorrow, signs Thursday, lol

No it wasn’t Ric, here is the thread. That’s how to be an ITK. Tells us info, when it’s happening and ban him if wrong. Glorious work from that lad ha! Hasn’t posted since 2016 though.

Someone broke the Delph signing in here. Forget his name. Delph had turned us down, then a week or 2 later someone posted in here it was now back on and a day later it was all done.

Classic thread that!

Yeah I remember that. Didn’t he have a photo of him going in for his medical? Villa fans were all saying it was photoshopped hahaha

Can't remenber the posters name, but remember he found out from somebody that had been asked to get Delph shirts printed. Exactly the sort of random information from a random poster that sometimes turns out to be the most reliable. Also rember people piling on to give him stick at first.

There’s people on here know more than me but the £89m for Pogba was the fee - United had to pay both an agents fee and purchase the players image rights (from the agent) separately so the initial outlay must have been over £120m for Pogba… still he can dance and has a new hairstyle every week. Interestingly United have managed the reported fee in the media so much so that it’s a common belief it was just £89m. Then again Simon Stone knocked a digit off Sanchez Salary every time he wrote an article - by the time he left Sanchez was eligible for Universal Credit.

Thats not true.

Juventus paid the agents fee. Giuseppe Marrotta speaking at the annual General meeting of Juventis Shareholders in 2016.

The sale to United earned us €105m plus €5m in bonuses, a clause that gets triggered if he signs a new deal with United or is sold for more than €50m.​

​

"This results in a profit of €95m, of which €27m will be paid to Mino Raiola and his company. Taking fees into account, our net profit on Pogba comes at €72m." ​

Not outside the realms of possibility though, given the noises we are hearing, this wouldn't surprise me.

Think that photo was first posted on Twitter, taken by someone working at Sandfield House which overlooks the car park of the Wilmslow Hospital, where we used to do the medicals
