It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

We have a solid spine now we just need a superstar to replace kun and a few young players to push others!!

Ederson/steffan
Kyle/cancelo
Dias/stones/laporte/ake
Zinchenko/need a new lb nuno mendes
Rodri/ferna/if romeo is good enough promote him if not Camavinga
Kdb/bernado
Gundo/doyle
Sterling/foden/braaf
Mahrez/torres/palmer
Jesus/has to be haaland.

We are so close to the perfect squad we just need patience from us fans. Last night hurt, personally for me Pep lost it again, but the players were poor.

If we need to raise money I'd happily sell mahrez, sterling, mendy & laporte. All 3 can be replaced with better fitting players and laporte can be replaced by ake, thb to fill the other spot.

What the fuck

Well at least you touched on that at the end of your post. The point of the overhaul is to keep the spark and the hunger in the dressing room. Maybe we won’t always be able to replace current players with better ones but it is needed that those that come in bring enough to keep it moving in the right direction instead of stuck in complacency land

Next season won’t be anywhere as easy as this one. Chelsea, Liverpool and United will be strong title contenders and UCL contenders alongside other top European teams. We need to address maybe more than we initially thought in this window

I was labelled condescending and all sort of things for fighting those who insisted we could carry on the “false 9” train as the main thesis for the team, something that seemed utterly ridiculous to even be mentioned out loud. That is already unsustainable.

But give it two days and you’ll see again those same people insisting that we can go through a season with Torres and “give Delap a chance” and don’t need to bring X for DM or whatever position because we can give Y Academy kid a shot.

You were labelled as condescending because you were condescending. A lot of your arguments are valid, but you do come across as a bit of a twat at times :-)

Would you like to expand?

No, I’m just baffled.

No, I’m just baffled.

In what way? A forum is for conversations and debate. Please explain what baffles you and I will tell you my thoughts. In a civil way.

He never had to do it in a post pandemic market though fella. The players who people are on about being replaced are on massive money, it's going to be hard to shift a couple of them.

That’s the problem

I couldn’t care less what you or some of the others think of my “tone” as I have noticed that it’s a linguistic thing that comes across. I could add a “mate” here and there to seem more sympathetic but it would be inauthentic, so just accept that as someone who wasn’t born speaking English, I won’t perfectly convey the right tone every time, or put me on ignore

To be fair it was mainly the bottom paragraph. I agree that more youth need to be promoted, because we’ve lacked desire but I don’t think we’re close to a perfect squad and we’ve been pretty patient for ages.

You're missing the point. I value your contribution to the forum and personally don't have anyone on ignore. But, if you're happy with your posting style, why do you have to keep mentioning it - "People see me as..." as if it backs up your point? If you're happy with what you're doing then just carry on without trying to justify it or keep pointing it out.

 

[oh right]

I think he was politely saying that your post was a load of shite mate. And I agree with him.
