Isn't it the norm for teams to go with 4 strikers? So who are Utds, Owen, Berba, Rooney and who else? That young Italian lad Machida?

Macheda/Wellbeck, they also play Giggs off the striker at times as well.

Personally I don't think that's enough if you are challenging on all fronts, Macheda and Wellbeck are very much unproven and Owen could end up injured for large spells.

The best all-round defensive midfielder in the world IMO...can pass, can tackle, can score goals and at 28 years old would be an excellent signing.

I would rather we'd go for somebody younger, more dynamic like Gokhan Inler, he's a top player.

I'd have had that Felipe Melo to replace Alonso.

Think the price for Inler is a bit steep and putting clubs off. I would like Utd to sign Cambiasso.

IMO that is the biggest pile of cack on this site in weeks. And seeing that Enfield Exile's been taking a dump on the site during that time it's really saying something.

Ideally Man City, and every club, would sort the deals out early so that all the players can be settled and proper preparations made for the start of the season. But the transfer system simply doesn't work like that. Most deals are finely balanced with many competing interests.

In response to you saying the deal needs to be done this week I'd just ask if you'd prefer to miss out on a player you wanted to sign because you tried to rush the deal through? Fair enough if that you do want to get deals done quickly, but really you should be joining EE on the short bus to school if you'd lose out on a player by wanting him to sign too quickly.

It's ridiculous to think that the possible move for JT has brought your recruitment to a halt. If that is the case then TBH Man City are utterly ****ed in the long term because your management are not fit for the job. Every club in the world seem to be able to be involved in multiple transfer negotiations at the same time, why can't citeh?

To highlight your lack of thinking I'll ask you this: Citeh are the favourites to sign Tevez, strongly linked with Eto'o and have the fantasy transfer of JT being strongly rumoured right now. You have the choice, sign all three of the players in the week before the first game of the season (if that's allowed - don't know/care when the transfer window is this year) or miss out on all three this week.

I know which one of those you'd choose, and it's not for quick conclusions.

and he potrays that by abusing every city fan on this forum and basically stirs up arguments

Hamsik was also being looked at by Liverpool

Cambiasso would be a fantastic signing to replace Mascherano.

fella, he doesn't just act that way towards City fans, so don't take it personally. He was the same with keithcun, Lenny and others. Just don't respond to any of his posts. I avoided it for months and it wound him up.

p.s. No more criticising Aussie bowlers.

Probably a bitter red decided they weren't worthy of a place. :19316.jpg
