It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

And if people think one player can't determine the outcome of a season, take a look at what happened in 2012/13. The Rags won the title because we cried off signing RVP and they snatched him up. His goals for Utd absolutely made the difference back then.

And what have they done since , fuck all, buying past it players, at stupid money.

Not really a great example.

Bloody hell. I have said on here before that I really rate Ferran as a developing superstar, or at least someone with terrific potential.

Obviously this may not be the case but there a tiny possibility that I might know something about this beautiful game of ours.

Cue catastrophic career failure but I live in hope.

I think that's a realistic enough theory. Pep could turn him into an out and out striker. He certainly has an eye for goal.

The three “unhappy players” were competing each other for man of the match on Saturday.

Indeed, they are exceptional players and professional. Bernardo was key last year, played a lot and played well...yet he still wants to leave.

The Rags won the title because City fucked it. We had Agüero, Tevez, Džeko and Balotelli already, absolutely no need for Van Persie at all. We should have walked the league in 12/13

It wasn't stupid money. It hardly broke the bank. It was stop gap money and it made all the difference.

I wouldn’t worry about Mendy for a while. I’m sure he’s in the French Paralympic squad.

Pulled a hamstring in the 100m quarters, seems in good spirits though:-)

In my opinion if we sell Bernardo now , this window will be a complete disaster. We are just not good at transfer market and negotiations.
Those who have the opinion "we have a world class team and will win everything this season" that's fine and that's your opinion.

Selling Bernardo now, and not signing a striker, and these clowns in charge of transfers would have managed to spend £100m and made our team worse

 

[Cityinmud]

Agreed. Waste of Kevin prime years too.

A waste of a Pep season. I just watched him speak live at an event here in Brazil. He literally said seven years is a lot, he’s thinking of a break at the end of his time left and then move on to a national team. There’s no other way of spinning it: if at the end of the window, we haven’t signed a forward, we have failed.

We should have just kept Aguero and used him off the bench

it’s actually insane not having a striker

Bing him on on a stretcher?

Torres top scorer incoming….
