It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[EekC]

In this clip he looks much more agile than he does now

Must be the racism incident weighing him down

Thanks Pep for taking Bernardo to the next level.

Fuck off, and when you get there fuck off a little bit further.
Whiny fan boy that you are.
It's always about the individual player with you, seemingly forgetting that Pep has brought us the most successful period in our history.

 

[Fordyboy46]

You have said this in a few posts now.

Pep already said several times he will never go back as manager.

The thought that Soriano and Txiki are also working for Barcelona somehow is beyond fùcking stupid.

It is just bòllocks stories being made up on various social media for a club who are virtually broke and can’t afford free transfers they have been chasing all last season, but somehow we are going to give our players away to them, all who are under contract.

Stop posting your boring shíte, grow up you needy tit.

Fucking hell, can't you see it's posted as tongue in cheek you tit

Well I never, every day is a school day

Yeah it is only in fifa where there are player plus cash deals. In real life only cash deals.

Shit man, I always assumed Tevez City was just a long term troll.

Need an FFP expert in here but say each player was “sold” at £70m, I think we can show the incoming money as a lump sum this year, while the outgoing fee is spread annually across the player’s contract.

Given we haven’t shown Sane’s incoming fee in our accounts yet, would that plus the above give us £120m or so to balance our spend against, in FFP terms?

Hi, I'd say I'm reasonably well educated on the legalities of FFP. If the club is using the Capital and Amortisation method for outgoings, then it needs to be used for acquisitions too.

Outgoing money can be amortised over the contractual period (until expensed in full) and therefore so must the sale, but it is also worth bearing in mind what the current book value of the player is, if it is the same player being sold X amount of years later, if within the amortisation period.

This will apply to sane as we will be able to clearly show a profit of 10m ish on the disposal based on book value as his sale was within the 5 year amortisation period of his (contract length) acquisition.

Don`t know if this has been posted already

Understandable RE the weather, always amazed me that David Silva stuck with it for 10 years, respect.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I feel like this is becoming a catchphrase but Barca can't afford him.

LOL

I'd be surprised to see him go given he's one of Pep's favourites, but similarly to the Mahrez rumours, his stock is as high as it's going to be right now and it would be the last chance to get a decent fee out of a player that's turned 30.

I would be shocked if Barca could scrape together enough to buy him though.

I definitely think there's going to be 2-3 high profile depatures this summer though - and Pep/Khaldoon have alluded to that in interviews.

So far, the players that want out per media

Bernardo
Gündogan
Jesus
Laporte
Interesting times ahead.

 

[Gumzy97]

Grealish replaces Bernardo
Kane replaces Aguero
If Gundogan goes who replaces him?

His form did go to absolute shits after that. Wouldn't be surprised if he's not liked how he's perceived by some rival fans now, considering he's an all nice guy persona

Can't see Gündogan or Mahrez leaving, if they do. We will surely get good replacements I've no doubt.

 

[blueparrot]

I think Saúl has a lot of things going for him.

He can play CB, 6, 8 and even LB so as a squad player he'd be very useful to fill any holes as they pop up.

At his best, he's world class and has shown it on the biggest stage.

I think we miss a box-to-box midfielder in our squad, and we end up making KDB do too much running to compensate for Gundogan and Rodri being relatively stationary (Gundogan isn't stationary but he occupies a small area of the pitch), and that's one of the reasons Bernardo and Foden's constant running makes such a big difference in the side.

Against Chelsea in the last 2 games, and more widely against 3/5 at the back formations over the last 2 years we have really missed a runner getting forward and making late runs into the box to help out the forwards and stop the 3 CB's having a numbers advantage, so whether it's Saúl or someone else, we need one - our record against these teams is awful over 2+ seasons.

I think our best chance of replacing Fernandinho is to get a technical, mobile box-to-box midfielder who can be converted into a 6 because that's what Fernandinho was, and Saúl fits that mould with a few seasons of defensive play under his belt already.

I know he plays well next to Rodri in a 2, and with Lillo as assistant we're gonna play that sometimes. So he potentially solves the Rodri problem as well.

He's had a couple of down seasons, he's spoken quite openly about being a bit down and out because of Simeone forcing him back deeper (much deeper than a 6 plays for us), the team not playing attacking football and not being able to leave when he asked 2 years ago probably didn't help. So there's a clear and obvious reason I can point to as to his form dropping off, and it goes away overnight when he moves club.

I certainly think if Bernardo had to go, replacing him with Grealish + Saúl (and we'd obviously have to pay some money on top) would make the squad more rounded, better over a season.

And just as a short term thing, he's getting the summer off. So he'll get a full Pep preseason and he'll be rested and ready to go, and there's not many better players on the market who are in that position.

Can't say I've seen that much of him especially recently but what you posted makes good sense if Bernardo wants to move on.

What is it with all this weather nonsense? Jeez!

Enjoy the weather when you retire a multi, multi, multi millionaire at 35 you soft arses!

Yeah, at this stage it could be

Bernardo -Grealish?
Gündogan - Saúl?
Jesus- Kane?
Laporte - Pau torres ?

it will be an interesting market for sure.

 

[BlueMooner87]

Be a bit gutted to lose Silva & Gundogan w

Grealish replaces Bernardo
Kane replaces Aguero
If Gundogan goes who replaces him?

might be a reach but Bellingham?
