It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[andyhinch]

In all fairness we wanted De Jong before we signed Rodri to be our #6, he can also play in the number #8 role too so we should at least try and test the water.

Could see his wages being a major stumbling block.

 

[domalino]

Agree with you all - FDJ is my dream signing for this team. As @domalino said too, Bernardo swap makes sense.

Given he wants to go there and would probably be on half the wages FDJ is, surely Barca would be tempted. Absolutely no murmurings about it though. Shame!

The problem would be Barcelona probably value FDJ at €150m - he's now their best player by a mile - and we seem to value Bernardo at half that.

Maybe we could use their problems to force them into a bit of a one sided deal, but we'd need cash as well.

Throw in Jesus too so he can sit on the bench watching Sergio again!

Considering we've already replaced Bernardo with Grealish, I wouldn't be against sending Bernardo and Rodri to Barca in exchange for De Jong. And I like Rodri.

De Jong is a once in a generation talent in that role.

Won't happen though, because why would Rodri want to go there?

I'd even consider Bernardo and Laporte. Bringing in De Jong would give us 3 number 6's who can all cover centre back in a pinch.

Don’t hate him. If he wants out, he needs to go.

But the your tone .

I would be surprised if Rodri turned them down.

They're having issues but they're still Barcelona and his still a young Spanish kid who would have grown up watching their 2008-2015 golden period.

And they won't be down for long.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

But the your tone .

You’ve inflected my tone. We don’t really want unhappy players here. If we can get good deals for them, I’d be happy to let them go.

Bernardo and Jesus for Pedri and FDJ is an off the scale deal for me, so I’d snap your hand off.

 

[blue oli]

I think we will let Barca and other clubs suffering currently fester for another year, that’s when we will look at taking advantage of their position. We will have our striker and midfield sort for a few years and have the potential to cherry pick the players we want at the right price and with the players knowing they need to accept reasonable wages and not the club busting ones they have currently.

 

[p.taker]

HERE. WE. GO.

@FabrizioRomano is with @City_Xtra to talk about all the shit you already fucking know!!1!

Your first sentence only has a grain of truth in it, and you know it.

the snowflakes who are determined to be offended will rock up again.

I think truth is the important word and from my reading outside of BM, a little more than one grain. I have no wish to get into anything again but I suggest using the derogatory term, politicised and popularised by the far right and Trumpists, "snowflake", as a put down to anyone disputing your opinion doesn't make for intelligent debate, if you haven't already done so you might research the history of the usage of the term, including it's political and racial background.

deep

I think you've got altitude sickness as you're not making any sense.

Deep void?

OK, explain what is meant by that please!

Messi has zero to do with us, he left us high and dry last year and we fucked him off accordingly. Once bitten twice shy make sense?

Him and PSG are quite welcome to each other, both don't understand the concept of money and think it grows on trees.

Harry Kane and Jack Grealish? Yes please!

Don't get me wrong Messi would have been fantastic here but we didn't even consider him. Our owners know the score before any of us lot do.

void in my soul. I desperately wanted him to come to us. I am not over through this yet. We should have gone to him. But i understand the reason we were not after him.

Seems a perfectly balanced emotional response to a footballer choosing to sign for a different club.

Oh dear…… in order to restore the balance of the universe and to really give something to be offended about….

All fans from abroad are sad parasites feeding off somebody else’s culture because of their own identity crisis.

There, now you can be genuinely offended.

To everybody else reading this. It’s a joke. I don’t think that. I think the opposite of that. Anyway, I’m off to read a book as instructed. I have time on my hands as my phone just told me to stay at home ;-)

Sorry that you have been pinged. I guess you are reading "Parasites Lost", enjoy. This impulse you have to offend people is interesting if a little pointless on BM.
