It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

My guess is, as I posted in the Haaland thread, that we want him undeniably as the first option. If we’re not chosen by the player and staff, then we won’t be getting someone like Kane, who would cost too much for the little commercial return. It would probably be a cheaper option (one that would still break out transfer record, but not that massively) that would get the “job done” (maybe not as well as Kane, but in the sense of filling in a striker position). Pep isn’t the one who is going to choose the striker, just like he didn’t choose Dias, just like Aguero was a Khaldoon project. But judging by the last two weeks, he seems well aware that the club’s targeting the Norwegian and is fully on board.

I would take Kane after Haaland and Lukaku, just to be clear. But I no longer think it’s an option

 

[Keeper!]

He’s 27 year old flat track bully, with the pace and injury record of a 30 year old, with 4 years left on his contract, and an owner who would ask the earth for him.
I’d rather we looked elsewhere.

Exactly, whoever hands 150m to Spurs is giving them a financial lifeboat.

Spurs are in serious trouble, paying for a very expensive stadium they are unable to use due to covid and they will have to pay off Mourinho otherwise they will end up in one hell of a mess.

There are bad sources and then there is this.
To be fair to her, if you know this show, no one there knows shit and they’re all spitting opinions as information

Im not saying you dont know what you're talking about, but the fact you think Lu Martin is a her isn't a good start.

Hes a 50 year old bloke with a goatee.

Fair enough. Do you know that Lu was, along with Pol Ballus, given incredible amounts of access to Pep in Manchester while they wrote their book about him in the last 2 years and are very, very friendly with him and the catalan contingent at the club?

I know who Lu is. Ballus is serious. I trust him. Lu isn’t taken seriously IN SPAIN. The “gossip-y” parts of the book are his; the serious stuff is Ballus

He got a choice. Stay with a smaller role, or go.
