Re: Should the African Cup of Nations be scrapped (reschedul It would make sense to be held every 4 years at the same time as the Euros (maybe a month either side to avoid TV clashes). Do they actually pull in any kind of TV audience as it is? I don't buy the "oh well it's always been like...

Think he's acquitting himself to the PL very well on the whole, one or two mistakes are to be expected from a defender so young. As his maturity and experience naturally improves we'll be looking more and more at a near-invulnerable defender.

If there's one thing we've learned with Aguero it's don't rush him back.

Not true, he has good scoring records for Bayern and for the Swiss team despite not playing regularly and being a winger, for what it's worth has looked great whenever I've watched him. He was one of the most highly rated youngsters in the world when at Basel.

Young, fast, skilful winger. Gone to Inter on loan with future transfer fee of €15m. Feels like we might have lost out.

Re: Champions League Squad Dzeko is the obvious choice to drop out. Bony IS Dzeko just faster although with less pedigree, Jovetic is a type of striker that we currently don't have another of, in that he can both drift around undetected and interlink with our midfield and also get himself into...

Do we know if the FFP restrictions stop Bony playing in the knockout rounds? Fast strong Drogba-style players have done well against Barcelona in the past...

Reports going round that Messi has forced the board into sacking the manager after all.

Yep. With a near-full compliment of strikers back available and having proven ourselves capable of coping without any of them anyway a speedy 21 year old left-winger is much more necessary. He has been and will be a £40m+ player whether we buy him in his current slightly under performing state...

They didn't dump their coach, just the director of football. Shame we're not playing them till next month... Then again the way things are going for them who knows what state they'll be in by then. I was always confident about facing them but right now we could absolutely destroy them.

Really hope we lose. The tiny bit of extra rest we get for getting knocked out is more important to me than the FA Cup itself.

Aye, sometimes think we should be paying these posters for their expert anaylsis.

Coentrao? Last I heard he was only marginally better at defending than Kolarov.
