It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Lol. She thought Torres was going to cost 45 million last year. She must have improved her sources since then...

Must have done

 

[adam.marrett]

we aren't athletic enough in midfield for how football is evolving if we continue to ignore it we will be left behind

What's that based on? A Champions League Final loss in a season we romped the League, won the Carabao Cup, made the Champions League Final & a FA Cup semi final appearance as well?

Nearly all of our losses were against teams that sat back and nabbed goals on the counter, outside of that we dominated nearly every game we played.

Some of the reaction has been different to say the least. No point signing athletic players if they don't have the skill necessary to play the way we play. We were 50 odd centimetres away from equalising the in CL Final with a minute left in a game we were as poor as we had been all season. The players athleticism had nothing to do with that loss.

No one is 100% correct ever but looking at her timeline, she looks she knows something more than normal ITKs. Still wonder who really is she

Agree with you,

Reading a lot online and here, If we are indeed getting kane+ Grealish if would then make sense to move on Jesus, raz and Laporte. Of course, the club would want enough for these 3 given the finances due to the pandemic

Personally moving on Jesus and Laporte would be criminal. Gabby still has an awful lot to offer at City, Laporte is one if the best centre backs in world football.
We should be looking to offload Sterling and Akè in particular.

Keeping Laporte would be best option but if he doesn't want to fight for his place and wants to be automatic starter then we have problems

By all accounts, Laporte doesn't seem to want to fight for his spot. He will be in a stronger position if he does well for Spain. We will have to see if he pushes for an exit.

A bit harsh on Ake, given he has hardly had a chance given his injuries.

Aguero hardly played this year and Jesus didn't Impress Pep enough, that he played mostly with a false 9.

Again he too will get a chance in the Copa America.

I expect any movement, only after the Euros / Copa America

 

[Rammy Blue]

So many people and variants invited in a transfer deal.
Funny thing is deals can take months to complete but on deadline day can be done in hours

Don’t mention the dreaded “v..” word, @Marvin will get all giddy and be along soon!

I think we always planned to make changes regardless of the result on Saturday.
The squad this season was put together with the intention of playing EVERY 3/4 days from September until the end of May.
We played one game short of the maximum this season, which was the FA cup final, so the squad had to be big.
However Pep has said before he prefers about 18-20 max in his group, so I expect to see some key players leave, but replaced with 'starters'.
So the likely is 3/4 out and 2 in!

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

But they now have a new manager.

His agents opinion hasn’t changed though. I’ve a very good source on Rice. In saying that things change fast and even a player I know gave info last year that changed within 48 hours about his own circumstances.

And incorporate Doyle, Palmer and maybe Delap in to the first team squad

Christ, it took us long enough to get him to play Phil, let alone 3 lads.

Based on latest rumours we would be fucked if all Sterling, Jesus, Bernardo, Laporte would opt to move on seeking a different adventure.
Getting shafted on selling transfer fees for them and charged through the dirt when we try to buy replacement..

I still do not trust Stones that he will deliver seasons like this one in a consistent way, maybe this was his best ever and only way is down for him.

Same for Gundogan who will not be anywhere close again to being topscorer. Possibly we have seen Mahrez's best City season too. To me it makes more sense at this point to cash in on Mahrez given his age than someone like Sterling or Jesus or Bernardo.

If we replace Kun with a top striker (Haaland, Kane), finally sell the deadwood Mendy and get in a good LB, and maybe sell ake and get a younger CB prospect who is happy to play less than 10 games imo that would be the transfer window we need.
But if we have to replace Sterling and Jesus and Laporte and Bernardo on top of that, wow thats quite a task and a very hard season to bed all replacements in and what the guarantee their replacement are better than them who dont seek first team opportunities straight away.

I kind of hope they all have a shitty EURO because if they star in it they will be more inclined to give up the "rotated" City role to a first team role somewhere else.

He/She certainly know how to make it look like they're ITK, but anyone could create a Twitter account and make it look similar.

I'm not convinced myself.

It's bollocks. Press just jumping on the wagon to try kick us fans whilst most of us are still down from Saturday.

If players do want to leave then I say good riddance, most would be leaving for less medals.

Probably deletes the ones that were wrong.

It wouldn't be criminal to move any player if they are not happy to stay

Laporte has already mentioned his concerns in an interview earlier in the season - so the signs are there that he may want out

If both gabby and laporte are happy, and wish to continue, then they will stay

But as pep said, he and the club will sit down with the players and anyone not wanting to stay will now be moved out

and if kane is injured which he probably will be, who is the back up? Torres?

Gets her transfer info from Simon on talkshit.

Aside from PSG who has money for elite players this summer?
