It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Do you not read media?

Ah, now that you have revealed the source of your claims, I cannot argue further.

 

[No One Understands]

Well they certainly were record deals for us, given our turnover at the time as well

Cant help it I'm off work and bored to bits

 

[EricBrooksGhost]

But Andy Carrol was a proven premiere league player, and had the Englishman luxury tax on top of it. Aguero was an unknown commodity from the two team league where the rest are rubbish. Even Suarez only cost Liverpool 23M

Also, we all know there is no real value in the winter transfer market, everyone is overpriced due to desperation, and that Torres money burning a hole in Liverpool's pockets

An unknown commodity.
Put the rod down.

We have great weather in Manchester, where else can you have rain, snow, wind, hailstones and sunshine in one day?
And the food is belting too, anything you want you can have.

I remember it so well :-)

Ok. Which of our deals were not record deals for the quality of player they represented? Yaya? The Barca reject? Silva? The unknown diminutive Spaniard who would not make it here? Do you not read media? We ruined football for a decade ffs.

I don't want to get stuck in a pedantic cyber war with you. This is fact.

Fuck me you’re worse than Uefa for moving goalpost

Silva unknown Spaniard? Only in the insular world of British media and idiots like Merson and Thompson. He was highly regarded and sought after in world football. Both Ferguson and Guardiola have both in public lamented in not getting him and allowing City to nip in

That assertion’s got me baffled because Yaya was a champions league winner and David Silva was a World Cup winner with Spain - nothing reject or unknown about either of them - both proven at the highest level, both famous around the world.

The ignorance of the British media, if they don't play in red or arn't English, they are crap ,expensive and mercenaries.

No no no. Don’t want that racist here

 

[EekC]

No no no. Don’t want that racist here

Hopefully just city showing levy that if he has stupid demands, we can just go else where.

 

[lazerblue]

can't see us signing a 30yr old

 

[doobyedoobye]

I’m confident that City are not in meaningful contact with Griezmann’s sister…

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Keep out the Messi thread then. We don’t need your negativity in there. Come on Leo, sign up.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Spanish press going big on Saul Niguez to Liverpool for around 40-50 million euros. If true, could pave the way for Bernardo to go to Atletico and Grealish to us.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

The agent of Antoine Griezmann can fuck off twice and when he's done fucking off then he can fuck off some more.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

FC Reportedly - the first refuge hole of passing the buck.

 

[Del_Bosque]

I reckon it could be a back up if we can’t get Kane or Haaland this summer

noway it would be a transfer though, maybe a loan like Coutinho to Bayern where we pay a fee

 

[Semper aggressus]

Griezmann is quite shit. Doesn‘t score anywhere near as many as Kane. Still better than Ings though. But we need to aim for better than this.

You lot are grasping at the wrong straws. Most of my posts are in jest. I agree with what you are saying. Yaya was unhappy in Barca, even Ibrahimovic was unwanted there. Reputation and skill counts for naught when unwanted. So his ability was not in doubt even though he was played as a defender, and did not reach his peak and also win African player of the year until his time with us. Silva came here because Valencia was in the shit financially, and we were the ones with the best offer for Valencia and he wanted to help his club. As far as Fergie and Pep, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Even Wenger almost signed every great player in the world every year.
