It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[axlgod]

Thank you for all the kind messages of support since yesterday.

That's me back home and so happy to say they found nothing sinister and the staff were brilliant putting me at ease and dismissing any embarrassment.

Might have to knock gluten and certain foods on the head to try and ease my stomach pains.

As others said, the drinking of the Movi prep 24 hours is really tough going, certainly compared to the procedure.

Cheers Blues. My family have been worried sick.

Great news Tolm

Glad it went well mate, must be a big relief to you and yours.

Don't mind admitting my mind has been playing worst case scenarios in last few months.

Bound to be the case with wife and young kids.

Thanks again, everyone.

You seem to ignore that we would have happily paid Messi more the previous summer and matched PSG’s numbers in this one.

The club needs to stop targeting players from inside the PL unless they have a release clause, and even then, I would only deal with a specific pool of clubs. Many of these clubs don’t want to deal with us in good faith, as proven once again this summer. There isn’t a single player we can’t find similar or better elsewhere. And we as fans should also probably stop pushing PL targets for the most part too

The Kane saga played out exactly like many here predicted and we naively went along. Never again! And the ones who joined the forum to attack me and say it was a done deal miraculously disappeared

I think that we are largely in agreement - I am glad we stuck to our limits on Kane - re Messi - I was amongst those that did not want him for the sort of astronomical deal that was being reported - but do we really know the facts of that?

I guess by overriding sentiment is that I feel that we are a very well run club with top professionals in charge - especially Khaldoon - and I tend to be confident that if they make a serious move for Messi then it has been well thought through - same if they place a limit on a fee for Kane

You shouldn't have to worry, the odds of being diagnosed as a rag are at an all time low.

I didn’t say all PL clubs, I said many of them. It seems clear to me they don’t like our success and are afraid of domination, which they would see as bad for the league looking at other leagues. And my point wasn’t even this, but that it would be easier to find our targets in other leagues.

My observation of Levy’s behavior comes from the months we spent watching what he kept leaking to the media and his mouthpieces and the narrative he wanted to create. I do not believe it was simply a situation of not meeting an evaluation. Of course, do I have the receipts to back it up? No, I’m not working on this. It’s just experienced speculation like people do here all day. No need to get worked up

Oddly friends and I were talking about something similar to this at the weekend. We had quite a debate as to whether clubs had decided to band together and not sell players to us, or buy from us unless at inflated prices and was this a concerted effort to trim our sails so to speak. Suppose the test will come if a player is 50 - 50 as to sign for us or someone else. Grealish appeared to want us, perhaps that will be what is needed in the future. What is irritating is that they never appeared to have been bothered when other clubs were in the ascendancy.

The was a plan B, C, D etc. Pep had a list. This has been reported. It also seems we focused only on Kane, which was an enormous mistake. I 100% believe @twosips when he says he heard the club personally would rather invest in a “project” younger striker than Kane. If we had focused on options that fit that bill, we would have someone here already.

Genuine question........

If Pep had a list and it was reported - who was B, C, D etc.

And I agree re the benefit of investing in a young up and coming (although I see Delap in that category) - but again if they were identified and on a list that has been reported - who are they?
