It is a shame for Mario but it looks like Dzeko's arrival has come at the perfect time. I can't help but think it might be easier for Dzeko to settle into the team without balotelli playing? I've looked at a lot of the guesses people have had on the positioning of our starting midfield/attack...

Call me old fashioned but I think rather than look over at the other side of town we should be more excited about our new £27m signing, he seems very confident in his own ability and earned a lot of praise from a lot of highly respected people in football. The fact that were now able to attract...

good post. Puts things in perspective doesn't it. When you look back at the likes of Emile Mpenza scoring crucial goals to keep us in the division and now some (a minority) of our fans are disapointed with draws away at Arsenal and home to United. people will say it's not acceptable because of...

I think people are overlooking and massively underrating Pablo Zabaleta at left back, his performance against Arsenal was certainly the best LB performance I've seen at City for a while. He can use both feet, good in the air, positioning very good and he gets forward well. If he had a few yards...

Exactly - something positive! I totally agree, to know of top names in European football is one thing but to be able to identify inidividuals and bring them to a club is something different all together. A lot of people knew he was 'a good player' but did anyone think he would be as effective...

There is no chance a club will sign a player with anything in their contract saying they must start games of football. It just doesn't happen. I presume by the title of this thread that most are thinking Silva will be playing further back rather than the front 3? surely you wouldn't leave him...

Re: Official match thread city v wolves. No De Jong or Barry?? + Silva out wide in a 4-4-2 is massively restricting his impact. I do like 'Blue Feather's' idea, if the games not going our way bringing him on will lift the atmosphere and the other players. Now We're No Longer Alone - A...

David Silva - 3 times in a row!

Yeah I agree, it is nice to know we have someone to fill in if need be. Plus he could be crucial if we progress in the FA cup and in the Europa League.

I agree, Driving through the middle is where he is most effective and where he had played his best football for Villa. However I can't see Barry or Yaya being dropped to accomadate him in the starting line-up. He did look impressive though yesterday; good touch, strength and vision, hope to...

Re: Official match thread city v wolves. If Silva plays then 3-0, Dzeko, Tevez, Johnson If not then maybe 2-0, Yaya and Tevez (pen) Precise enough?

without a shadow of a doubt. he could do a job at somewhere like West Ham but is nowhere near up to our standards. Zabaleta and Kolorav are both a massive improvement (in different ways) and I'd even drag Boateng over before playing Bridge. Possibly the worst crosser of a ball I've seen at City.

So many people have commented in this thread without putting Silva in, our main source of creation, everything he touches turns to gold. The starting places shouldn't be decided on 'clauses' or fee's but who trains hardest and impresses the boss. So it goes without saying that Tevez starts...

FOR

Great news! Good to hear our fans singing the managers name.

I believe Lescott and Richards will be City players for a good few years yet. I would forget all about Weiss returning, judging from his performances this season he is an impressive winger in the SPL but not quite good enough for the EPL. I still have my doubts on MJ's mentality towards...

Actually brilliant!
