It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Ha ha ha
The transfer forum is deffinately the bastard offspring of the matchday thread.


Kane is proven in this league and all this will slow down our attack is nonsnsese, under Potch spurs tactics was built on fast attack and the high press

Haaland is proven in the german league and been banging them in consistently

Both are goal scorers who have proved their ability

Either could come here and be amazing, equally they could be absolutely wank.


Just be grateful we have the opportunity to sign either and stop bellyaching as to which one it might be

So you'd prefer we signed van Persie than Aguero in 2011.

1 was a from a foreign league, the other was successfully scoring in the PL.


I don't have a problem with people preferring Kane, there's definitely reasons to have that opinoin.

What I can't stand is how people just starting inventing bullshit they've never cared about before like signing players from abroad is just too risky, and act like every post takeover legend this club has wasn't bought from overseas.

Where were you in the Dias thread saying foreign players were too risky? Where were you in the KDB thread? Why has this become an issue only in 2021?

I love how people pick and choose comparisons. Plenty of proven prem strikers who moved and continued to smash it, plenty that didn’t go well. Plenty of overseas strikers that came in and done terribly, plenty that done fantastically. You can spin each argument in your own direction but it counts for nothing. People want Kane, people want Haaland. Proper logic and reasoning to either opinion is great, stupid comparisons or fake news has become boring.

Who knows who we will get, city clearly want Kane and there’s a million and one reasons why. Let’s all strap in, support the club and enjoy the ride

I certainly think there was an element of truth, wishful thinking on the part of Mendes, to try and broker a straight Saul/Bernardo swap.

Felix could well be a plan C somewhere, but until people start moving out, there's just no wiggle room to be that left-of-field on someone like Felix, unless the Grealish deal tanks.

Sounding more likely Jesus could be out the door before Bernie.

Yeah sounds like Jesus to Juve is further down the line. Think we'd be looking to replace him or is it Kane,Delap and the false 9 options?

On a selfish level I hope thats true mate as I have a £100 bet from two seasons ago with a Blue Mooner, when I stated that Jesus would not last into the season 21/22. Seriously.

I noticed they were selling shirts with Bernardo on the back.
Would they still flog them if he was off?
Genuine question.

Of course, they sold Aguero shirts with No.16 on the back and then offered exchanges two weeks later when he took No.10.

Villa fans also getting giddy Grealish is sporting the new Kappa shirt on the website and quoting how much he is a Villa fan.

The shoot was done three months ago and it's a soundbite blurb, nothing more.

IMO nearly all of negative stuff is being conditioned by the existence of Haaland. The desperation for that kid seems to be clouding a lot of judgements.

If it wasn't Haaland, it would be someone else.

The issue with people not being excited by Kane at his age for over 120m, is Kane, not Haaland.

Disagree with it all you like, the blanket disecting though, pointless. That woumd be like sayong people only want Kane because they think Haaland is unavailable.

Motivation of what?

There are two teams that I would say pose a serious threat to us, Liverpool and Chelsea, if the rags got a top manager they could become a threat, but they have little Ole, so all is good.

We are entitled to win nothing, you earn that right, last season we basically had no strikers available (Jesus is not a natural striker for me), Kane would improve that, but long term Haaland to me is a far better option.

Mancini's last season with us, he wanted to sign vanPersie, the club refused, because of age/costs etc, the trafford red socks got him, guess what, for one season he was class, brilliant and they won the title, then what? RVP was ***ed and it cost them dear long term.

Kane is a couple of years younger than RVP but already is looking fatigued and what ever anyone says has a history of ankle issue that will only get worse. I fear Kane could be a short term signing.

Motivation of individuals. The league is a 38 game slog interdispersed with Cup and international games makes it very demanding for individuals both physically and mentally.

Expecting players to maintain hunger and motivation season after season is imo unrealistic, so bringing in fresh, hungry players is good for the club to keep advancing.

I have an Aguero signed boot with SA16 embroidered into it.
Might be worth a few quid eh.

Shirts have been sold with players who were sold shortly after for as long as shirt printing has existed.

I would be pretty disappointed if we sold Jesus. I thought he was one of the few players that showed up in the champions league final. I think long term he could play well with Ferran as Jesus drifts right and Ferran takes up great positions centrally.

Still if he wants out, ther isn’t much point keeping him.
