It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

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

We probably do not want to pay a transfer fee for a 36 year old when Messi has gone for free, that imo would be the big issue. Then it's the wages, I reckon that's definitely negotiable, depends how willing Juve and Ronaldo are to work a solution.

Guess we class this as a transition season. Maybe a cup or two. Don’t see us challenging without a striker. Everyone else has strengthened. We brought in Grealish who is a very good player but he’s not a finisher. A finisher is what we needed and we failed. Can’t wait for the constant missed chances in big games.

If you don’t think Ronaldo is a better option than Torres for a year then you’re insane.

would love to boil some more Utd piss on the way to winning the quadruple too.

'Maybe a cup or two'? Fuck me, talk about spoilt.

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.

It could be the case.

They have spent a fair chunk already mate

Only £22 mill, probably won’t spend anymore.

Precisely. At least when we were shit we didn't have to put up with this kind of utter cuntery from our fans.

They’re £1.17b in debt. I’m not sure they could afford to spend any of it if we’d even paid it.

Had a load of rags in our shop kicking off about Ronaldo wanting to come to city! Worth it just for their reaction to be honest! Lol for the record, I do think he would score goals for us no doubt.

No one has mentioned it, but how crazy is that this exact thing happened *two* summers in a row! last summer with messi, the exact same situation, and we allowed it to happen!

The message that we apparently took was "don't deal with messi" instead of "don't put all eggs in one basket" I guess..

Stinks of the 2019 summer. Just won the league and needed to strengthen in a key position. All the eggs in one basket, didn’t land the target and it fucked us all season. The same will happen this season. The fact Liam Delap is the only out an out striker at our club is an absolute fucking disgrace from everyone involved. Someone should have been strong enough to tell Pep that he can’t just say he ONLY wants Kane. We needed a backup option. Even if it was someone like Ings etc. Just piss poor.
