It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Claytop]

Am I the only person who is less worried about left back since the Mendy news? Now it has to be Zinna or Cancelo.

The club have a lot of explaining to do on that issue too.

 

[Matt.D]

Any cause for optimism?

Wishful thinking but nope imo just someone on the social media team with not much between their ears!

 

[Leeky]

He's already said we're looking at alternatives and not to give up.

don‘t hold your breath

 

[murur0a]

Any cause for optimism?

Håland confirmed.

 

[Vester]

Any that doesn't/wouldn't sit around for 3/4 of the summer window waiting for Levy to call them back.

11/12 weeks of the summer window you mean:)

I hope he's innocent but it's a good job he wasn't charged with criminal defending.

 

[Bobby the blue]

I get people trying to be positive about the left back position but as much as I love Zinny he is technically very good but he’s a midfielder playing left back and Cancelo is a right back. It’s making do and we are better than that. We need a proper left back and have done for years.

 

[JamesMCFC]

Any cause for optimism?

Probably Pep being hopeful but deep down he knows and we know nothing is happening

 

[citytill1die84]

Any cause for optimism?

This is what makes me confident we'll sign somebody because if we wasn't trying Pep would have said we were done.

 

[Clevers]

Honestly, if we were doing it to them a huge portion of our fanbase would be lapping it up.

Personally more concerned about what damage Ronaldo can do on the pitch than a poster.

The damage might be to the rags team when they hear his wages.

 

[borassic]

Any cause for optimism?

He's normally pretty quick to totally shut any chat down so yeah i'm optimistic, the fact City have still posted it even after the Ronaldo news too.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Hold on a minute

We have just witnessed PSG & the Rags chuck huge money per week at players coming towards the end of their careers, and lets be honest messi had no other choice as did ronaldo once we actually pulled away from the deals

Surely the cost this lumps on them will restrict them long term, especially for the next 2 years

Something tells me we have played a blinder here


and it will count when it matters

 

[Blueknows]

We went into the window needing a lb and striker and so far ended up with neither, spent the majority of the window focusing /expecting to sign kane without even negotiating, questions need to be asked around our negotiation team , in any other job questions would be asked, even though I think we'll be alright I can see why pep looked and sounded pissed off in his presser

 

[Pam]

This is what makes me confident we'll sign somebody because if we wasn't trying Pep would have said we were done.

I don't know. It could actually start raining frogs. Could happen.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Shame about ronaldo in that I just want someone else we can use to score goals.
Something fishy went on with that entire saga IMO.

maybe we’ll get someone, maybe not. I’ll still be supporting city regardless!

 

[Oooh Curley Wurley]

Seems to me that the Clubs who invented FFP have realised the only thing that will derail us is if they stop us actually investing in a higher calibre of player rather than handing out punishment after we spend

as they now know our legal team is like our football team - better than they ever will be

 

[Gumzy97]

Grealish false 9, Grealish did say he could play there

 

[Maly]

Any that doesn't/wouldn't sit around for 3/4 of the summer window waiting for Levy to call them back.

So you’re saying you’d take anybody else, including say Alistair MacIntosh or Peter Swales over a team of people who have delivered us enough good players to win multiple cups & leagues over the past 10 years? Wow, glad you have fuck all decision making power at our club bud

 

[billybluecat]

They end up at the history clubs because they offer the most money
scum paying 850k a week for a 36 year old!
where did that get barca?
City only go for player's that want to be here
no one else was in for kane, we just couldn't get past levy at a reasonable price,
If he had been touted around we would have pulled out sooner

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Fucking hell… Pep saying Grealish can play up top.

We desperately need a striker. I’d take Phil Caicedo or Bernardo fucking Corradi at this point.
