It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Creative midfielder? De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo, Gundogan not enough for you?

Dunno if you can call Bernardo particularly creative, and Phil’s better on the wing and probably will be for some time

No shit sherlock!

was talking to th eposter @King-General when he was worried about Berradas comments.

city wont buy a striker for the sake of buying a striker. No point of getting a striker that doenst fit the team


There ya go sherlock

slightly concerning the talk of decent investment not needed. Obviously Omar isn’t going to tell everyone we are going to blow a shitload to the media but with others improving we need to rejig things and keep ahead of our rivals!

Why what's happened?

The dippers dressed up in Chelsea kits stole the champions league ;)

Omar is a grade A liar:


“The truth is we never were in negotiations with his club. It was very interesting to see the amount of noise that was coming out from certain media outlets and social media...”

“I smiled because there were certain instances where people were reporting that the deal was agreed, done, about to happen, he was going to be announced in a few days, when we were never in touch at all with Napoli about him...”

“He’s definitely a top player so some consideration was given, but within some parameters that were very clear to us — and those parameters never came into play so he was never really considered...”


Remember this when the club had a template ready to go for Koulibaily lol? Hes never going to say yes were ready to spend 300m this summer on Haaland and Messi

we are clearly going to buy one or two very good players, but it’s not like we need loads of players. We were one game off winning the champions league and dominated domestic football.

we can’t just always rely on buying loads of players to get ahead of everyone else. One or two great signings will do

Tbf I think it’d be weirder if he sat there and said “yeah, we’re going to invest a fuck tonne of money, like probably too much, but fuck it and fuck you if you don’t like it.”As much as we want him to

 

[kupest]

I don't think we are going to invest a huge amount. We will get a big name striker for sure, but other than that or maybe 1 more player I don't think we will be getting any big names. Its going to be similar window as last (Dias, Ake and Torres).

 

[leo_city]

Much as I love Raheem it could be him that seeks a move. I think the club would be against that and want him to stay and sign another deal, be interesting what comes of it.

Aké for obvious reasons.

Last but not least Mahrez is another shout, depending on if a club really likes him

 

[Semper aggressus]

If we get a proper top class striker, ie Kane or Haaland, then we don’t really need anyone else. It would complete the team. Look how many chances we fuck up. Someone scoring just one more of those per game and we’d be virtually unbeatable. The amount of chances that Sterling, Jesus, Bernardo and Mahrez miss is unbelievable.

Add a reliable goalscorer to this team and we’d go up another level again. That’s why we need to spend big on a world class striker. The rest is good enough, as another league title, league cup and CL final showed.

What cannot happen is we are unambitious and just get someone bang average like Ings or a relative unknown from Spain, in which case we would need to then spend on Grealish and maybe another attacker as well.

Fix our biggest problem and we‘re done. Just pay what it takes, no pissing about.
