It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I have no idea who we will be signing but my gut reaction is that come the end of the transfer window we will be in a stronger position than we are today.

Didn't the club say something about signing a generational signing.

That either means delap, given how long Forden took to be introduced, delap won't be the answer yet.

Or were going to sign a player that doesn't fit the previous mould of signings. That means too dollar.

Peps comments are just distancing himself and sending message that we'll walk away.

We're a club that will steadfastly refuse to go a penny over our valuation for a player. We missed out on Van Dijk because of it. I don't know how much our valuation of Haaland is but I'll be very surprised if there's not a club out there who will pay the extra £10-15m that we won't be willing to. That's why I don't see us getting him, and why we very rarely go in for players who are wanted by other big clubs.

I tend to agree but we have a rabbit in the hat, sancho sell on fee

"generational talent" a term used by fuckwits who want to sound like they know what they are talking about, what a load of twatter speak.

I think Pep might use the academy more seems like we have a golden group of players coming through, with very high potential. Also on Foden false 9 weve seen it three times. Once against Madrid where he got man of the match, the second against Chelsea where he was brilliant and got a goal and lastly against Liverpool in the second half where he was amazing. Pep might be grooming him to be what Messi was for him at Barca. Messi at 20 and foden at 20 the stats are similar.

yeah be great eventually we have 4/5 players from our youth team playing the first team on merit...

 

[waspish]

Sancho left because he wasn't going to get the chances that HE thought he deserved. Would that be fair to say?

I think it's pretty obvious that the same could happen with Delap. Young players are quite impatient unless they happen to be boyhood fans.

Obviously you are much closer to the situation than me so can present us with all the 'facts'?

didnt delap sign a contract fee months back and said he know how hard it will be but he looks at foden to see it’s a slow process..

When did the club talk about making a generational signing.

 

[WRicko]

Could we be going for Dybala ? must be going cheap does he not play false 9 these days ? Where we not linked with him a few years ago ? How is he doing

Juventus feel BETRAYED by Paulo Dybala and want rid of him

ALVISE CAGNAZZO IN ITALY: With the club having taken stern action against Dybala, it has now emerged they are keen to offload him in just a few months rather than allow him to slip away for free.

I thought I read khaldoon said it in his quotes about Sergio going.
I’ll hold my hands up if I’m wrong mate

Not sure if that’s a dig, but just in case, I can confirm I’m not a fuckwit, have no pretension of trying to sound like I’m in the know (like 99.99% on here) and am far too old to be speaking ‘twatter speak’.


Perhaps if I’d put it in ‘....’ that might have helped.

Peace to you peace frog on this holy holiday
