Plus the turning circle and consistency.

arrgghhh can't wait till the WC has ended so we can see concrete confirmation of new signings. Too many guessing and rumours that say it is 50-80% in progress but dragging on. Can't stand the wait. Probably transfer would have been done and dusted if not for the WC.

ok so from the comments so far, its us or the gooners then. big money contract or love for the city of london?

the financial incentive to having a player brought in from those countries is much more significant than finding one whose based in UK. Think about the film Slumdog Millionaire, an Asian superstar brought up in not so ideal background creates a super frenzy of fans etc. Those countries will have...

lol you should try the playing the other leagues where you are only allowed 3 foreign players in the starting 11 plus 1 in yours subs. really annoying as the domestic players are not good enough.

it's called courting the player ;)

has the OP said which Silva it is? ssn have reported Thiago stating his delight at being linked with us.

ok, i'm slightly concerned at which Silva we are actually interested in now. Thiago Silva has said on ssn that he was flattered by City's interest in him. Were we jumping to conclusions on David Silva, dunno how good thiago is but he is another holding midfielder. Prefer David, and play him...

saw on the news that Thiago Silva was flattered by interest shown in him from City. So which Silva are we in for?

lol great post. didn't expect the picture

Official site it is then...keeping a close eye on it :)

Yeah was very surprised by the agreement from those that posted. Definitely unbeatable on his day (remember his first game against Arsenal at CoMS? Went past 3/4 defenders like a hot knife through margarine). Once we get players that can consistently provide great balls and scoring...

his ego hasn't made him talk shit about the club and manager publically like some other players have so i think he still wants to stay here.

Messi again being the spark to create the moves throughout the match. Was unlucky not to score the rebound that hit the post only for Higuain to tap in. The Koreans should have had a couple but let down by poor finishing but played well in second half, had a good go at it.

Doesn't really matter any more. Have seen him shoot from the edge of the box more times than other full backs do and he does like to hit it with the out side of his boot. No body except him knows if he meant it or not but I'm sure some of us have played football and made a pass or shot looking...

I'll be waiting for the one from the OS :)

First game against the Spuds. Why are some posters so gloomy about this fixture? It would be good first game to get revenge, get it out the way and a good test for us to see how good the team is for the rest of the season. Take the positives, be positive and support the team. Don't get bogged...

I'd have a cheeky one put in to see Real's reaction and Alonso's reaction. He does run the midfield with long balls and through balls. Allows the likes of Xavi and iniesta to play.

I'm not one that dismisses a player before hew has even kicked a ball for us. Players change when they move clubs, see D. Bent. Dismissed by 'arry as not being good enough, and probably wasn't up to fitness at the spuds but since moving to sunderland, he has been one of the Prems' top scorers...

Read on BBC's gossip column that we are allowing permission for the rags to buy robi for £30m???? Another made up story by bored journos. If he does move across, and have a good season, i can see the media saying it was the signing of the season and give robi player of the year or something...
