It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Find it quite funny there’s a big pawnbroker next door, assume it’s got the same owner.

Oh yes, buy the fancy watch when times are good, pawn it when times are tough. Theres a reason why these guys are millionaires

After watching him today i would take Danny Ings as a stop gap and only as a stop gap. No matter what you think of him he is a good finisher and would score in this city side.

Did you see his first touch? shocking

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not ;)

You'll only find out when we kick off the new season!!

Not sure how it would be a mistake to put it on the table? Dortmund can just say they're not interested and want cash

There’s no point in putting sancho money on any table, it could only add complexity to any deal and it wouldn’t save us any money if we did.
The sancho money isn’t free money, it’s real money that eventually comes to us as a percentage of his price when he’s sold (a debt comprised of a percentage of an assets value to be realised at a future date).
If push comes to shove Dortmund will have a perceived value range set against that debt, and might even allow an amount at the lower end of their notional sum to be knocked off any sum offered by us in exchange, but they’d then need to calculate interest on that amount through to their perceived sale date and add that interest (which is their due) to the sum they demand.

Dortmund and City might include the sancho money in a deal but it wouldn’t alter the cost because the sancho money would always have a value - it’s a hard to calculate debt but a debt nevertheless and relinquishing money owed to your accounts is ultimately the same as paying money out of your account.

The sancho money is not a magic trick that brings free money out of fresh air and gives us some price advantage but some on here talk as if it is.

If we are going to refuse to pay the £100m it will take to get the striker we need, due to budget constraints with having other positions to fill, then I can honestly say I’d be totally fine with us ignoring every other targeted position for another year and putting the entire budget for this summer into the Haaland deal. It’s worth it. We have about 5 players that can play left back and we have 2 that can play DM and 3 if Fernandinho stays, plus Doyle and Lavia in reserve. I can cope with that if it’s the only way to get Haaland.

There’s a reason I don’t buy watches ;-)

Always amazed me how every third shop in Wilmslow seems to be a jeweller or watch emporium. Must be more per square mile than any other town centre in the country

With his injury record, and ours...

Most of the shops are shut, going to have about 30 restaurants when things open up mind, oh and charity shops got loads of them.

I watched Haaland a bit in the Frankfurt game, he fluffed good chances just like Jesus used to do.

We have to move on and get Mbappe lol.
