It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I think he's done for the window unfortunately. I wouldn't blame him after the grief he was getting yesterday.

Shame... a song can’t hurt nobody

Said my piece on Ronaldo a day or so prior to the Kane collapse.

Will respectfully leave whatever accountability is desired on here to Sky Sports News and Twitter for the remainder.

Woah steady on, I hope you're not trying for an early dart here!

There's the best part of a week to go and I'm afraid you're still on the clock my friend.

Bravo and I couldn’t have put it better myself. Fantastic post.

He'd have probably put it in Spanish after dropping the keyboard a couple of times

Think about your question and what your expectations are for such a request?

Less than 24 hours ago the club were briefing they we were ready to go right up to the window and Kane still wanted out.

There is no conspiracy, just the club being on a different page and the player deciding to call it quits.

I think if people have a go or say you got it wrong blah blah blah that’s not on.

However, when a transfer is over one way or another, it’s like getting to the end of a book when the murderer is revealed but the clues don’t add up. I’d be flicking back and thinking what did I miss? Not from a critical point of view but more from curiosity.

For example if someone says Wednesday is a big day and nothing seems to happen I’d wonder what what they meant or if, in hindsight, they knew now.

I like the gossip whether it’s right or wrong because the result I can’t do anything about.

And not a whiff of them ruining the market, or being disrespectful to other clubs or blood money or inflating the market.
Bless.

It would be difficult to claim Chelsea are ruining the market when they've got a positive net spend this summer.

They have sold Abraham for £35m. Tomori for £26m. Zappacosta for £8m. Moses for £5m. Giroud for £1m.Now Zouma for £25m.


Honestly I find whining about people spending is even more grating when it's coming from City fans who should know better than when it's Arsenal or Spurs fans whining about us.

I think it was likely City who pulled the plug rather than Kane. From his message yesterday it was clear he still wants out.

Meanwhile, we’re possibly looking at loaning out Bernie…

Isn't that less than the £95m they've already spent on Lukaku?

** Edit, maths isn't my strong point obviously!

The first bit made sense but your last paragraph has left me tongue tied.
Ah well.

I do wonder if City even knew Kane was going to tweet it’s over. I would like to think so but who knows?
