It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[FantasyIreland]

If the right offer came in i would be more inclined to cash in on Sterling.

This basically indicates Messi isn't coming. This then also increases Aguero's chances of going to Barca to reunite with Messi. Since we are going all out for a new striker and the reports that we want a 'marquee' player are true, then I can see either Haaland, Lukaku or Kane coming here, in that order.

This basically indicates the sum total of sod all.

Turning into Wolves (Jokes)

I'll be surprised if we even get one of them three

Does anyone see those likes to certain posts that make you facepalm and then you tell yourself you know exactly who gave it the thumbs up?

Yeah

 

[blueparrot]

Paid not played.

Idiot parrot, I should read properly :)

I'm not sure how you come to that scenario. If you read what is coming out of Barca today, they are not hopeful that Messi will stay.

Tbf, performance wise they're miles better than they were last season and earlier this season. Still a chance to win La Liga and Copa del Rey, not to mention I'm sure he and Kun are in regular contact. Between them improving, his love for the club, family being settled, potential for Aguero to join him, and Laporta regaining his position, I wouldn't be shocked if he's changed his mind and stays.

And we have Ezzy 2.0

Are you calling him Ezzy Rascal ?

 

[blueparrot]

I wouldn’t be surprised if we signed Grealish but Messi and Haaland go against previous transfer strategies.

Haaland doesn’t, we’ve never been in the position before where we need to replace one of the best in the world and been in a position where we are probably the strongest players in the market. Messi is a unique player in a unique situation, so no strategy or policy applies.

The Nunes link is highly plausible
The leak sounds legit. We need a LB, this lad looks very very special according to many and we've said his release clause won't be met by us.....Txiki at the table

You had better rethink what the word marquee means , two of the above are not that

I suppose we'll find out soon enough

How can we fit haaland, mendes and luiz/grealish in the team must mean curtains for aguero, fernandinho and maybe mendy if we can shift him?

Yeah obviously there has to be outgoings.

Garcia, Mendy, Fernandinho, Aguero will probably go.

I've go no inside real info on this (apart from that City want him badly) but Haaland's comments at the weekend where he is going to go to someone who "wants him" suggest to me that we have already got an agreement. That's how Txiki works with the big ones: he goes out and does the deal on a one-to-one, a handshake, before anyone else is involved, using all of his intelligence and charm. There's nobody better than City at this. And there's no more attractive proposition in world football: replacing Aguero at the best team in Europe, managed by the best manager in Europe, where players are looked after and want to stay.

He's coming to City this summer. I'm convinced.

Unlike you, I never stick my neck out on these things and am not about to start. I agree though that there is no better prospect in World football for him; especially as he has clearly supported the club in the past. I don't think City have ever been a better prospect for a young player of his talent than they are now.

City just need to ensure that the financial package is a deal sealer.

i thought i hid it well lol

You are not big on subtlety and diplomacy are you?

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

so your man says that our pursuit of Haaland which has been confirmed by all major City reporters, all European reporters, all trusty BM ITKs is a smokescreen........................................................for Phil playing false 9?

Pmsl

 

[LongsightM13]

I feel like we’ve always been linked with a DM from the Bundesliga. Remember Julian Weigl years back

Ruined by injuries, trying to rebuild at Benfica now

 

[Dirty Harry]

One’s more a tent, the other , probably more a Wendy house.

Hopeless !

Something is definitely afoot with regards Douglas Luiz at Villa.

I had heard we were inclined to bring him back at the £25m buyback clause which ends this summer.

Villa already value the player at £40m and I suspect we are just posturing about bringing him back and we are leveraging some of the difference against a discount for Grealish.

Similar to leveraging the sell on clause we have on Sancho, although we can let that ride if Haaland does have a buyout clause.

Dortmund can chum the waters but Haaland and his dad know the contract.

Laporte has piped down, thankfully.

As you have said previously, this summer does feel like a perfect storm, so many different parts moving perfectly into place
