It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I wont be at all surprised if City didnt sign Kane or Haaland, and brought in someone under the radar.

Whilst Kane is good I am not sure if Pep wants a 'big' player our squad is all about the team Kane comes with alot of baggage not bad baggage but the baggage of being the leagues best striker and England's captain.
Haaland pep doesnt like his agent and I get the feel his agent will be wanting to move Haaland on after a few seasons

The baggage of being the leagues best striker lol

Shipping our biggest club legend out because he can't stay fit then bringing in Ramos makes no sense. The guy has played 15 league games this season and hasn't even made Spain's Euros squad (one of our own players has replaced him!). It would be an awful signing.

I wouldn't be surprised either.

If that happens, it will be due to the cost of both players however, rather than Pep not wanting big players at the club.

They don't even know who their coach will be right now, so absolutely, I've got no idea how they'll use him. Fair shout. You'd think for Laporte Madrid/Barca are ideal ideal destinations if either can fund it.

If he has a good Euros for Spain it should be an easy deal to make, he’s got every incentive to put on a show.

My big worry is the Haaland to Chelsea rumours gathering pace, swap him for Timo on Saturday and we lose 5-0. I’d rather go all in for Haaland now so they don’t get him knowing there not going to get Kane.

Absolutely. I think he's the most likely to have a buyer because otherwise going public is a very risky strategy.

Both good players but sorry I don’t agree with ‘far better’, Rice is at the very least on their level and he’s certainly more proven than Bissouma.

At winning the ball? Look at the number of tackles and interceptions they make:

Going to be a very long but interesting summer transfer window

And fortunately, as usual, due to us being loaded we can accept wank payment terms.

Fair enough the stats do make a compelling argument. Just going off the naked eye I’ve always felt Rice is great tackler. The crux of my point was more how I’ve always admired the way Bayern, Juve and the spanish teams tend to build around the best players from their country. I’d like to see us do similar now we’re producing better players recently - just a preference with no real sense behind it haha
