It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I would love to sign Traore and put him right up top.

He's unplayable and, while not being ruthless, his strength would cause carnage for our players going beyond him?

Love watching him play.

Reminds me a lot of Wilfried - although not as good obviously.

Wasn't told who or what, just Txiki has been offered a couple of possible options since Friday.

I thought we scientifically analysed the player market place, used analytics to determine our targets well in advance, create dossiers and 360 psychometric testing to hone the list down and then did our business early as possible.
being approached by agents on a couple of prospects two days prior to the window shutting doesn’t really fit that methodology ;-)

He can't a worldie against us if we sign him tbf

All I remember is coming round in a room full of ladies in gowns drinking cups of hot chocolate. I thought I had died and gone to an afterlife where everyone walks round with their arse on show.

Omg haha

A private jet, learjet, has just touched down at Ringway from Oslo....

We’ve bagged Alexander Sorloth?

Crystal Palace legend.

so here's a question

where has yangel herrera gone to? weren't we meant to sell him for 20m? is he training with the club? is he out on loan somewhere?

Didn’t he break his leg at the Copa America?

If we ever decided to start playing counterattacking football instead of playing in the opponent’s third, Traore should be our first choice. As it is, we just don’t have the space for him, in any sense of the word.

And FIFA don't forget - first port of call is to check the FIFA22 player ratings.

Hope it goes well tomorrow mate. But get them to give your head a check too will you!

He is great to watch but has no end product. If he had any, Wolves would have been 3 up at HT. He would never have space to run into for City and we have other players who might be less strong but can hold the ball up without a problem.

We just need a man to stick it in the net.

I remain convinced Torres is going to be a top player. I said before the Arsenal game, his disallowed goal against Norwich was like watching Aguero. Little dart into space and instant shot to sweep the ball home at the near post before the keeper was set.

If he has that in his locker, plus the flick v Newcastle and general habit of getting on the score sheet now, in 1 year, 2 years and beyond then wow he is going to be a talent. 1 in 3 for City already at 21 from a stop start season. And an excellent record in the CL albeit against perhaps weaker sides.
