Re: Cavani Speculation/News (page 151 onwards) This is true. However, the type of chances were on the whole at the end of a slow build up. Rather than fast attacks. A recent study showed 63% of goals come from "transitions" (when you win ball back from opposition). It is a lot rarer for a...

Re: Cavani Speculation/News (page 151 onwards) One of the main problems last season was when we got the ball, we didn't get it forward quick enough, and ended up camped outside the oppositions box and couldn't break through. Given we had the exact same strike force as the year before (plus...

Most unlikely rumour of the summer so far. As for his goal return. He has been somewhat pushed aside since Mario's arrival.

Re: Cavani Speculation/News (page 151 onwards) I think this season we are going 4-3-3 with just 1 up front anyway. So I don't see the value in having 2 top strikers, as 1 will always be on the bench in the top league + European games playing 2nd fiddle. Aguero is our no1 even if Cavani came...

Of course, like Khaldoon said, the new academy is targeted to bear fruit in 20 years rather than immediately. If you expect the academy to be taking on 8 year olds now. It's going to be at least 10 years before you see them "ready". This idea that a lack of game time has hindered progress is...

What I like about this guy, and it has nothing to do with City really, is that he seems really into his family. Not one of those who has let the money get to his head. Just from looking at his instagram photos.

There is something in, that, given his fantastic start. 8/9in9 was it? He then lost that form (arguably not pos to keep up). He hardly scored away from home since. Could pos say Mancini stifled Aguero. (I'm Mancini fan, just supposing)

Re: Pellegrini is the new manager (Malaga Newspaper reports) 3. The same pundits who say you should get "touch tight" but would then say "that's a penalty all day long".

Re: Pellegrini is the new manager (Malaga Newspaper reports) 3. Rafa Benitez did a stats thing on it on his website. Was very good. During his time at Liverpool, throughout much ridicule, his team conceded least number of goals from set pieces.

It's old news. Just Deloitte releasing a report on it. We made a £97m loss, they're saying how we reduced it by £100m ish from year before. We'll probably get £40m more from new TV deal, with higher commercial deals, not a lot to find, if there's wages cut also

One of the reasons why it would be better if clubs had to disclose the fees

11. he slows attacks down with too many touches 12. is quite greedy

From my time, Benarbia.

Re: Thought we had learn't our lession with Brazilians Juninho did well at boro

Why should it? We have saved a chunk on putting Silva (£3.6m), Yaya (£2.8m), Aguero (£1.9m) Kompany (£600,000) on new deals since we last underwent serious spending. That's £8.9m per year When you add in the wages saving on Bridge, Kolo, Santa Cruz etc.. which is estimated to be around...

He doesn't want to leave though. That's why he signed a new deal. Anyway, I thought this thread was about Yaya being pushed out because of Fernandinho, rather than walking out? As has been stated. We were in desperate need of midfield options. What with nobody good enough to fill the void of...

This. Barry must go. (from the first XI)

because that would make sense after giving him a new contract

Try this: ______________Hart_____________ Zabaleta__Kompany_Nastasic__Clichy ___________Fernandinho____ _____Yaya______________Silva Navas_______________________Isco _____________Cavani____________

If the reason he wants to leave barca is because he wants to play regularly, don't quite see why he'd want to come here as I don't think he'd be starting in strongest XI if we've got Silva and Isco with Yaya and Fernandinho, and maybe Nasri/Navas, with Aguero or 2 strikers. Of course, maybe if...
