It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

No it's the teams profile not his, he can do it we just aren't really set up for it.

He can't, hence we brought in Cancelo.

He does it for England, he's done it for us on occasion. Teams sit deep against so not so much. Cancelo doesn't do it with us either, what he does better than Walker is move into midfield but that isn't a traditional fullback thing.
Walker can overlap and attack as well as anyone when required.

Want Tripper *checks notes* because AWB has turned out shite for 50m, not a word said about this failure of a signing.

Have a lot of debates with my mates regarding this one. They all say the same thing in that his tackling is so strong and his ability to win the ball back is severely underrated. They don't seem to realise that the reason his stats are high in that regard is because he hasn't got a clue what he's doing when he has the ball and tends to win it back after losing it.

But there's only one club you're allowed to criticise for splurging £50mill on a full-back...

I'm currently away, so not really looped in, but just to say City and Villa were talking late last night and it sounds like we might be almost be there on the fee and structure for Grealish.

Maybe a matter of hours, rather than days.

 

[The Doctor]

I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks tonight, so try and at least keep Karen sweet.

Have a great time TH…….hope when you come back Khaldoo’s disruptive transfer market has started and that we still get positive news from Raz

Imminent and nearly Imminent, get them signed and playing up front.

"I'm not looped in but here's some exclusive news about negotiations going late into the night yesterday"

What would you find out if you were looped in!

Someone will leak it as soon as it's done, probably Villa or Grealish's camp. We'll probably get all the club briefed articles in every paper saying "Villa and City agree deal in the region of £X" and then it'll take a few days for it to get announced by the clubs officially.

I would not be surprised if Villa announce the deal before we are ready with interviews and media etc, that's the kind of pettiness you get from a club when you sign their last 2 captains back to back.

Tolmie drops in a bomb and then fecks off!
I'm not looped in and I am a KFA - maybe I consider a career in football journalism.

No he’s a good defender, offers very little going forward though and that’s the main problem for him and full backs nowadays, they’re not far off being wing backs even when not. Sterling doesn’t get a sniff against him, defends really well. Walker makes a lot of recovery tackles, that’s not him losing it and having to recover. If he had anything going forward he’d be really good rather than just good. If they got Trippier it wouldn’t be to replace him I don’t think, maybe to play in games against the shitter teams when they need another option.
