It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Pleased to meet you, won't you guess my name.

I don't want to spam the board, but something big is happening and don't think it can be confined to signing Kane.

City have a lot of bases covered.

Something is nagging, so I can't discount Haaland, Messi or Mbappe, either!!

1 from 4 or 2 from 4 then? Who's looking favourite at the moment Tolm?

Won the Premier League and League Cup, got to the semi-final of the FA Cup and had our best ever run in the Champions League, losing narrowly in the final.

Yep, you’re so right we had a totally shit season - using a false 9 is absolutely criminal.

One shot on target in the final and three in the semi final while not particularly being at our free flowing attacking best all season. There’s a reason our new centre back is up for every individual reward under the sun. Not saying we’ve been shit but I don’t think we’ll get away with going another season without a striker.

If you believe that we can go another season with a false 9 still and rely on Gundogan having the same goalscoring season with others chipping in so regularly again then fair play to you.

Personally I think we’re in dire need of one and, judging by some of Pep’s press conferences and Khaldoon’s end of season interview, so do they.

I also struggle to see where I said we’d had a shit season but there we are.

Could this have something to do with Pochettino leaving?

Doubt it.

2 from 4 might be greedy!

Couldn’t this be to do with end of season meetings, board meetings etc so naturally a lot of movement without anything to do with an actual transfer?

I thought so but just checking as the press (not believing a word they say btw) mentioned Kane AND Haaland which I thought was a bit far fetched.

Any other clues as to who you think it may be?
