It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[oakiecokie]

True, but his tweets during the CAS situation made me hate him

Ah, never saw those E.

 

[The Colonel]

How the fuck would Roy Keane know anything about our transfer plans?

Surely him and Erling’s dad remained great mates following their playing days…

 

[rodders]

He says he got the info from Roy Keane… Christ knows what Keane knows about our deals…?

Elton being a toffee probably means Moise Kean, the everton chap linked to Juve.

Think this is old news though and would most likely have been the rumours about ronaldo and us.

 

[Akira]

I'm guessing he means Bernardo and Laporte

Standards must be really high if Bernardo and Laporte are considered dead wood.

 

[Akira]

Was just thinking this. Who would challenge us for the signing now?

Chelsea - done.
United - done.
Barca - majorly done.
PSG - probably done.
Real - mainly after Mbappe.

A clear road?

The challenge will be and always has been Mino Raiola.

Takes all sorts.
I'm sure him and Alf Inge are on video call with each other constantly.

 

[RayCTID]

Nothing is impossible but I don't see us signing Felix or swapping Bernardo for him either.

 

[wattle]

Well a really bad week to be a city fan. Pep confirming he’s leaving in two years (I think), mendy, Kane, ronaldo. All we need now is ffp to come up again!! But then you think of what our team will be after the international break and it makes you feel a lot better.
I think it’ll be hard to win the league this year but could still be a great year with our fans back in the ground

Ex ITV football presenter from the days when your telly had a big back

And was probably owned by Swales

 

[Dribble]

To be honest, if Bernardo & Laporté remain, I'll still be gutted we didn't get that elite goal scorer we needed, but them being here for the season is more than enough compensation.

I honestly feel if both are used to their full potential, our rivals will still have as much to worry about with us, as we're worrying about them....

Yes mate, and he went off on one about city's covid issue at the start of the year as well despite the fact other clubs had the same thing. Basically called us cheats and the covid outbreak was due to breaches en masse

 

[simon23]

We don’t know if they have improved yet. How often do we think a team has a good window and things don’t work, fairly often with Chelsea it even happened last summer. They do have a better coach now though, Wouldnt surprise me if united had a worse season either, collecting players not team building.

As you say...it was more about the coach...the only one they bought that hasnt worked out so far is Werner.....I think Harvetz is going to be an absolute beast for them....he reminds me of KDB

Utd have improved...Ronaldo will score goals for them....he is a world class finisher....Varane is certainly an upgrade on their options at the back....Sancho is the unknown in all of that.

 

[york away to this!]

I've seen a tweet saying Delap will get 30+ this season.

All is good, enjoy the sunshine and enjoy us ripping the arse to bits...

fwiw Pep confirmed he wasn't leaving in 2, said could be 3 months could be 5 years, all depends on performances, which is clear that he isn't set to leave.

 

[Chevelle]

Oh yeah I hear ya.. I think he was more meaning people that wanted to leave.. deadwood isn't really the right word but I get what he is saying haha.

I know it's easy to get carried away but realistically Delap plays no more than in cup competitions, anything else is a bonus.

Of course I remember that now but didn`t realise he was one of those who jumped on those stupid thoughts.

The club needed him to clear that out because it can be really bad for business. We still don’t know the truth

absolutely, but "desperate times" and all that, and who knows how the uppers are feeling after what's happened recently.

Not saying we're desperate as such, but we do need a good striker that'll sort us out for a few years alongside gabby and the rest

Yep, only going to be bit part.
