It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I don't know. The market conditions are not helpful.

Perhaps Jesus might ask himself the question, but he also isn't going to allow himself to be sent just anywhere, certainly not to Dortmund.

Pep loves the guy to bits and, even though he is a frustration at times, he's only ever moving to a top three team in Spain or Italy if he ever does move on.

That's more indicative of his overall quality.

If it were my decision, Jesus will be with us for many more years. He is a a brilliant role model and ambassador for both City and Brazil.

More importantly, he's nowhere near his peak and we have people on here talking about bringing Kel back?

Gabby is ten times the player.

oh i agree with gabby being way better than Kel!! I know we are in all the competitions but it just seems if Haaland/Kane comes in and Grealish, fernandinho stays another year and only Sergio of the main team leaves it causes more frustration and possible harmony problems in the squad? Pep seems to feel he has to make 6-8 changes every game but players like Torres, Jesus etc struggle for form when they only play a few minutes at the end of games or in a sort of B team environment? Your brother also says Grealish is never happening as well..... ;-)

I do work in media, so it takes one to know one!

One of my primary motivations for being a member of this forum is to try and help separate fact from fiction, inform where I can, and share some jungle drums/gossip without any agenda, as long as it doesn't compromise myself or anyone.

And boost the price of your shares in Youtube ltd.

One for the near future .
City should be poaching Aston villa kid midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka ,this lad is going to be some player .

And there could be a great song in there with a name like that

Not said anything to my brother about Grealish, outside of what is being posted on here.

I suspect it gives us an opportunity to gauge where we are with some of the academy players.

In terms of his overall play,contribution and influence....yep.As a pure no.9,i'm not so convinced.
Its all an irrelevance though when we are bringing a worldie in.

Gabby has peaked, he’s a top 4 player but that’s about it. I’d offer him to Atletico and rescue Felix.

 

[Deleted member 87819]

Disagree. Think he’s a top player just in the wrong team/setup

I don’t disagree that he is a top player in a team that doesn’t favor him, but that doesn’t mean what I said is invalid. His best features more or less can already be found in our team. His goalscoring stats may one day break out and shock everyone, but to reduce this to “Simeone doesn’t use him well” is wrong. At Benfica and with the Portuguese national team, both playing differently than Atletico, his stats were pretty much the same (fine at best). I like him, I just don’t see what he would bring besides a promise

I understand where you're coming from. I don't think he's shoulders above anyone else (Bernardo or Foden for example who he is closest in style to) but given we don't have a natural false 9 I think he would be a big improvement. He's perfect for that role in our team IMO. I'd actually argue he'd fit better into our current setup (which of course can change and Pep will change) than Haaland. Doesn't mean he's a better player than Haaland mind.
