It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Phil1]

Can someone remind me what @Rascal posted again ?

Think he said @Guscruz chats nonsense or something along those lines..
In all seriousness, I think Pep is being a bit mischievous but I certainly wouldn’t rule out us not going big on a CF signing.

 

[Cheeky Txiki]

This is football poker btw

I take a fair and objective view of things, you just can't trust bald people, especially if they're wearing skinny jeans.

True story.

How many trophies and years of success will people need before they just sit back and trust Pep, Txiki and Khaldoon?

We're in good hands, there's no need to panic.

Their fault for only giving him a 4 year contract. On the back foot very quickly

It was 5 years really including the year on loan but yeah they should have shit or gotten off the pot a lot earlier than this, although it does look like they've been played fairly nicely by him and his representatives.

Would love the kid. There are quotes out there from him that he turned down City, not Pep :(

Mbappe and Haaland have both made moves that have set them up now for huge pay days. Very smart.

We (City) need to be mindful that Haarland and his agent will see a 5 year contract at City as a way to move again when the player is in his prime - so I wouldn't be surprised if that 5 year contract got rundown and not renewed.

 

[Bluechipblue]

He's not lying. Nobody is signing a striker this season. Maybe next.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Perhaps Mendy is going to be used as a striker next season.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Massive mistake if we don't replace aguero and let our rivals strengthen but it's all ifs and maybes

 

[aguero93:20]

May as well have been on strike the last 3 years so you're only adding one letter...

Many would have said the same about KDB, Sterling, Aguero etc. All have renewed.

hahahaaha fuck off you spilled my coffee

 

[Blue tiger]

I believe Pep, let's be honest we have never spent the prices quoted for the likes off Kane, Haaland and Mbappe on one player. If we signed Grealish and maybe a LB I reckon we would be good to go again.

 

[BillyShears]

Lovely bit of kidology from Pep. How to not have to answer any awkward Haaland questions for the next few weeks.

 

[BlueCityfan]

I hope this is Pep just being pessimistic. Or perhaps he doesn't want to give the impression that we can buy just anyone for any price.

That quote is going to look stupid if we then go on and sign Haaland and Grealish in the summer.

Not sure any blues would give a fuck how stupid it looks if we signed them both.

Folk wants pep to announce the fucking world that he wants to sign x y player in april .

 

[DMA's]

Some of you lot seriously need to understand how negotiations work. Pep is hardly going to come out and say ‘we are desperate for a striker we need to replace aguero etc’. As always we will have a price in mind that we are prepared to pay and that’s that. We either sign a striker and win loads more trophies or we miss out on a striker and win loads more trophies.

Absolutely but none had such an expedient agent who put his self interest ahead of their client.

Mino does what his clients want. Only mugs believe it the other way round.
