It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Marvin]

Clearly Utd wanted him more than we did despite their need being purely emotional. OGS has to win the title now. They wont. I dont blame City for walking away. Once Utd matched our terms, he would always going there. Where went wrong was in not giving Spurs a pre-Euro deadline.

Probably end up with a late panic move for Richarlison, Griezmann or someone like that now, which will inevitably be knocked back as we try to chisel and lowball selling clubs which will have witnessed the shitshow of the last seven days

What makes you think that?

Pep's comments suggesting that our window is over?
The club's press briefing that suggests the same?
Our record of never making late panic buys under Txiki?

Any striker available with a release clause?

We could have had Messi but we decided to develop a tunnel vision pursuit of Harry Kane with no evidence that we could definitely get it done. The window has been stunningly incompetent. We will not hear the end of it. You all know this deep down.

I’ve been barred from the Ronaldo thread for “wumming”, so I apologise for upsetting people.

I get that and it's nice to see someone apologise but what you said was no worse than countless comments I see all over this forum every day.

People were in the Kane thread taking the piss as soon as he announced he was staying and absolutely nothing got done.

Mods have been overly defensive, in my opinion. Possibly because your username carries a bit more weight.

I was practically using my knob as a propeller in that ronaldo thread and I stand before you a free man.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Every time we win the title we take our eye off the ball. Done it again.

Spent too long chasing Kane and should have set them a pre-Euros deadline. Fatal mistake. Now players who would have done a job for us have gone.

Every time? That’s a bit dramatic, even for you!!

Any striker available with a release clause?

Only Santa. But not until the end of December.

 

[Akira]

So where does that leave us now

Think we are ending the window without signing a striker

 

[Maly]

Do Barca still need to shed wages? If so greizmann would be ok on loan? Or Jovic?

We’re never getting Jovic from Barca mate. They’d have to sign him from Real first ;)

You have a shit memory if you think we lost every game against a good side 1-0 last season.

It's a bit like the argument that Pep tinkered in all our big games last season. Except for 3 games against Chelsea (one of which didn't matter), Pep was more consistent than ever last season with his selections in the big games.
