It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

We should use the "Kane money" to bring a real LB and CDM.
Nuno Mendes and Camavinga will cost less than 100m and both have the potential to be a WC players and serve us for more than a decade.
Never gonna happen though :/

Totally agree mate, I think those 2 positions should have been a priority

Heading into the season with two kids as our strikers….

Exiting isn’t it.

Glad we forced Aguero out for this

Huh????
Aguero will always be a legend, but the club got this one spot on.
Evidence - he's out again for 3 months.
Sergio should have retired, his body just can't do it anymore.

Would be funny if Levy was banking on this deal going through but was holding off hoping for an increased fee. Kane then announcing he is saying would fuck Levy up in a major way.

Won't be the case but would be piss funny.

Mendes won't let the grass grow under his feet, that's for sure.

Only he will know how serious Ronaldo is about leaving Juve and maybe joining us.

If those moving parts fit, then City would be stupid not to give it a go.

Perhaps Bernardo leaving is the key to it all.

Pep is already on record saying he wants to leave.

Id far sooner keep Bernardo than do any more business.

Our squad is fucking awesome as is,Kane would just have been a lovely bit of icing.

Isn’t Felix represented by Mendes? Would he fit in as a Striker/ Forward? Serious question, I haven’t seen enough of him to know.

I know the verdict is 'it's on our board to not have seen this Kane deal through,' but is it entirely on them? Look at Spurs.. imo, the Kane sale was only going to happen if they managed to get one of Vlahovic or Lautaro with Paratici's help at the price they wanted. But getting €150m for Kane and €100m of it already going on either of those was never in question, so why would Spurs lose their best asset?

I reckon he was definitely given the green light to leave as long as a replacement was secured first hand, but now this late in the window, it's clear they've miserably failed to recruit players for key positions, have a shit load of players who want out but no one wants to pay for, and similarly plenty of players they are interested in do not want Spurs as they have fuck all to offer in comparison and are playing in the most mediocre of European competition.

If we don't get a striker, we can still be fine for top 4 in a worst case scenario, but their rebuild has not been of any significance and Levy has lost out on a very good sum of money for a player who clearly wanted out. We will redeem ourselves by working a solution in attack, and likely we will get our striker in Jan or next summer, not sure Spurs will move in to top 4 with their squad

Toxic positivity? It’s very rare you find positivity described as “toxic”?

Depends if you're on an opposition fan forum or not I suppose.

From what I read it’s his wages that are the issue.

I read transfer fee of 25 million rather than wage

Icing on the cake would be missing out on top 4 to Spuds.
