It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Sterling new deal? More like Txiki’s blind, than Txiki blinders.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

He played a huge part in the last 2 titles that we won. Of course, we're going to sign him into a new contract. If anything, his dip in form should help us save some money.

Sign the dip?

No mate, that interview was recorded six weeks ago, nothing he didn't say before when he was at the London Football Writers' awards.

Just what I think, an overriding sense this has been in the works for longer than we can maybe appreciate?

I'd been told City wanted a striker in the door before the Euros, and Kane's deadline leak the other day flicked a switch and lit a few fires under arses.

Without betraying a confidence on here, I was contacted on here a few weeks back by someone and total integrity, who had specific info on Kane coming to Manchester.

I dismissed it at the time because of the great noise coming back on Haaland.

I just don't believe United has the money or the intelligence to have boxed off Kane.

If that's the case, that may have been why the Sergio news was announced when it was? I always thought the timing of that was strange.
Then we had Haaland's people flying around Europe, so maybe they got tipped off about the developments.

Who knows, and no idea what will happen, but things seem a bit clearer to me now.

Hope that's true, I have no doubts that Raz will have a better season next season.

He seems to play well with Kane for England, so if that deal comes off, hopefully that will cheer him up

This may be txiki telling raiola to fuck off!
Like the dick from Napoli who thought he could take koulibaly and we just decided to get the football writers player of the year instead

 

[foggy1974]

Apparently we're signing a Tottenham player...

Quite apt seeing as his catch phrase was you can't see me

The Rags are more likely to sign Michael Caine given the age of their star forward

I can see them giving Bayern 60 m for Lewandowski & Bayern spending that on Haaland

 

[Centurions]

When people comes with such detailj information, that most of the forum users dont write. Then he must have much backing those "rumours" or his cretability is not good.

Perhaps English not being your first language is a barrier to your understanding of what TH has said? (that's not a dig by the way).

He does have way more contacts than almost anyone on here, at City and the rest. As said before though, until you see a player in a City shirt on City's official site there's no guarantees. He's usually entertaining at the very least and if it wasn't for people like him this would be a very poor forum.

Think he plays better with a centre forward, whether thats Kane, previously Aguero, or whoever we buy for next season, he’ll be back to his best.

I really can’t. They need a CB, DM and RW. They don’t have the money for a CF unless it’s someone like Danny Ings.

Lets hope that Haaland doesnt end up anywhere else in the premiership over the next few seasons.....him ending up at the scousers or rags or chelsea would not be good.

Good point. I don’t think it is any coincidence that raz’s massive drop in performance has coincided with us playing a false 9

There is another disturbance in the force...

The final reckoning is nigh and the evil empire will be crushed under clarion and the feet of destiny...

The son of Haaland must not become a Jedi?

Wouldn’t want to play you at Cluedo, that all adds up pretty nicely..!

 

[Maly]

Well something has to happen soon as his contract is up in 6 weeks. I’m actually surprised it’s so quiet.

I know Messi is a special case but.....serious question......can anyone think of a player that has ever run his contract down this far and stayed at the club as a player...ever?

Im not saying he definitely won’t stay just wondering if anyone can think of a similar case since the Bosman ruling?

Unusual to say the least!

Hopefully Fernandinho :)

When was the last time the rags actually bought a player they needed instead of appeasing social media & overseas fans.

Van Persie? Or was that the last time they bought a decent player?

They still had GPC then. Since Ed Woodhead has been pulling the strings.
