It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Messi is the definition of splashing the cash

Huge wages + singing on fee + agent fee. Its not gonna happen either.

I mean we did miss mr piano man but taking gospel off pep’s presser he said maybe we won’t sign a sticker but he never said false no 9.
So it’s happening

Typical City, Typical Txiki & Ferran

SAME OLD STORY

That guy literally just paraphrased and embelished what Pep just said. Hardly anything wothehile at all in that claim.

I'd love Haaland to come to City but not at any price. It's no coincidence that the clubs that are in the deepest financial shit are the ones that are the most active in the buying frenzy around the latest "generational" talent. It's as though they'll pay any price to prove that they're the most attractive club. Which would be fine if they were also the most successful but they aren't.

We're the best English team of the last decade without paying ridiculously inflated fees for the likes of Di Maria, Martial, Lukaku, Pogba, Maguire, Allison, Van Dyke, Pepe, Kepa, Havertz etc. Barca spend like sailors on shore-leave but aren't better than us. They may get Haaland, but long-term the shit just gets deeper.

I’m going to hazard a guess that Pep is fuming about the Mino/Laporta circus yesterday. I’m certain he still loves that club and will be concerned about the situation there. To be honest, they came across as a bunch of amateurs, very sad what a once great club has been reduced to.

So to sum up basically pep intimated that we wouldn’t be paying 150m for a striker and everyone is in a flap that we are definitely not signing no body and are getting relegated next season. Sounds legit :)
By the way, pep also stated a couple of weeks ago that we were not going to rotate any more this season and promptly made 6,7,8 changes in each of the next 3 games haha

So agent and pops visit all the potential buyers to check out the options. They show what they are doing to create a little extra pressure for all interested parties. Well, big deal. It is just their job ffs. City play down the interest via Pep to counteract the move from the Haaland camp. Well, also big deal. I think it is all just posing. There is a ling time to go until the transfer window opens.

I'm not sure what people were expecting or wanting Pep to say?

Something less direct like ‘maybe we’ll sign someone, maybe we won’t, let’s just see what happens this summer’.

imagine txiki working his ass off and finally brings everyone on the table around 100 mill and pep says “ I don’t want this striker coz blue moon righteous cunts will kill me for saying we don’t money”

That's pretty much what he did say
