With you on this one LC. It's up there with 'we can't sack a manager for not winning the league FFS.' It won't be the achievements (or lack of) that Mancini is judged on but his approach to managing the club with Txiki at the helm.

Will Grigg has scored quite a few goals at Walsall, worth a punt?

Not too bothered about Fernandinho's age for his position, Makélélé was 30 when he joined Chelsea. Would prefer Paulinho though.

If we were to play 4-3-3, would he be the most advanced of a midfield 3 or play wide in a front 3? Also how much do we reckon he would cost?

Always used to love walking past the unofficial souvenir shop as a kid. Some funny stuff in there.

That's the issue. Any time we only have two central midfielders, one naturally being Yaya, our midfield is prone to being overrun.

I agree that 4-2-3-1 is currently our best formation, but given that we are pretty clearly targeting Cavani, I just don't see where he and Aguero fit into that. Aguero is wasted as an attacking midfielder IMO, would rather see him in a wide forward role like David Villa at Barcelona.

Interesting to see we've gone with this formation in the last few games (Wigan at home onwards), in all likelihood with next season in mind. We seem to be creating more clear cut chances, with the wide forwards in the front 3 ensuring that the final third doesn't get as congested as it does when...

Paulinho is a good shout, wouldn't cost the earth either. Him (15m), Eriksen (15m), Cavani (45m), a centre-half and a Kolarov replacement and we are ready to rumble.

I met Kev in JJ Moons that night. Instead of asking him a decent question like 'who was the best player you played with/against?', in my pissed up state all I could say to him was 'legend, legend, you're a fucking legend. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have any of this. Legend, fucking...

I heard Pardo was off to Mexico...

Has he really only been booked once? Outstanding for any player full stop never mind a centre half who is a young lad in a new League

Cavani shouldn't be judged solely on his Uruguay performances. I appreciate a good number of posters on here will have seen him play for the national team more than Napoli, but there he's often shunted out wide (on the left in this graphic but more often on the right <a class="postlink"...

Exactly mate. I was just trying to point out the immense flaw in the rumour that United would be sitting down to discuss a fee with Atletico. For the record, I'm a Cavani man. Built for the Premier League and already well-versed in a 3-forward system, which allegedly is what we'll be using next...

Discussing a fee? Those discussions would be so short they could take place on Snapchat or something equally as inane. Falcao has a release clause of something like £47 million. That's what a club will need to pay to get him. Nothing to discuss about the fee.

On a lighter note, and in a completely manly way, obviously. How beautiful does he look here

As a group of 5 games I'll raise you QPR, West Ham, Southampton, Stoke, and Sunderland. All bottom half sides, all away from home. In those games we picked up a measly 3 points and scored an even more measly 2 goals. In the corresponding fixtures, the eventual Premier League winners picked up 13...

Our lads go to play in one of our affiliate's 'B' team (Espanyol, for example)?

Here's your link mate. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2313183/Vincent-Kompany-I-want-stay-Manchester-City--forget-Barcelona.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... elona.html</a>

I know it's only paper talk, but surely he'd go for close to double £15 million, wouldn't he? <a class="postlink" href="http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/393506/Arsene-Wenger-to-splash-the-cash-on-Julian-Draxler" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...
