It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Haven't we recently spent 100M on a player and been looking to spend 100M+ on another?

But, but apart from signing a 100M player and offering a reported 120M+ for another what else have those cheapskate's that run the club done? Europa conference here we come apparently.

 

[I'm Blue]

Yep, people need to move on from Haaland. No chance of us getting him.

According to plenty on here Kane’s been imminent for a month or more so who knows what will happen.

Don't get complacent. Nothing lasts forever.

Will make a note of that, just a few months on from another premier league and cup double with our first CL final.

When does the complacency kick in?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

We aren’t getting complacent. Starting to think you’re on the wind up.

100% wum.

Frankly it does make you think, wouldn’t another club have closed the Kane deal even with Levy and all? Even another English club, for that matter?
They’re not at Barcelona anymore and sometimes it seems like they haven’t realized that

Yeah the Rags would by paying £200m.

The club have backed every manager, all have made big signings in their time post the takeover so why would that stop. Our top players are well paid, but aren't signed on crazy wages, like the trafford tramps did with Sanchez. I don't remember Aguero, Toure or Silva signing for stupid money, if thats all they wanted they wouldn't have lasted so long at the club.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with most of what you say, but we're a very different club now than we were pre-Pep.
We play differently, we are more 'system oriented' in relation to signings, we pay significantly more in wages, and (whatever anyone says to the contrary) we've been gearing up for involvement in a Super League.
It's a different environment now, even for supporters.
Our current wage bill suggests that we have changed quite a lot since 2016.
We'll have to spend bigger in future to keep moving forward. It's inevitable.

He's not a wum, he just has a very different opinion.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

100% wum.

I think it’s about time I start putting people on ignore. There’s a select few on here that post nothing but shite and it’s consistent every day.

 

[hilts]

Can't help but feel like the board have failed Guardiola. And some of our creative players like KDB, Foden, Grealish etc...

We are limiting their creativity by not giving them anything to aim for. Especially in the case of KDB.

Now pep knows how we feel after several Chelsea Liverpool scum and spurs games.

I think it's best we call it a night.
