a little birdie...Torres et al...

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I do mate but i'm respecting his wishes and it's for tolm to tell more mate.

What i will say is rooney, tranny, messi, kaka are out of the equation mate...

I really cant think of any more WOW signings than these 4 and Xavi/Iniesta

Our own sense of perspective seems to have been lost by quite a few in terms of being City fans.

We are not yet Barcelona, Real or, god hate saying it, Manure.

There are plenty of WOW signings outside of four names, in the context of where we are in our development, those attainable etc.

People are kidding themselves if they thought the likes of David Silva, Yaya, Robinho and Carlos Tevez were going to be City players two years ago.

It seems clear that we have kept certain options open for the very fact the World Cup was on and what opportunities might emerge.

We are attempting to now do that. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

For those who accuse me of ramping up expectation, I do not see that being the case.

The OP was dulling previous expectation, more my own now increasing optimism as a blue and how we are doing business.

I can't be bothered reading through the full thread,but has anyone mentioned fabregas? Barcelona may not be able to afford him,he is like Iniesta and xavi with more of an eye for goal.

I would prefer someone as young as he than say a Gerrad coming to the end of his career.

 

[Del_Bosque]

Robben anybody?

 

[leewill31]

casillas is more than a possibility for the club as a target and if i remember rightly we have had a previous bid rejected by him some time ago!

all so this keeps on ringing bells with me recently

i may be way off but he is definitely a wow player for me!

So is the target an up and coming guy as we've waited to see how he got on in the world cup, like an Ozil or Suarez? Maybe a Thomas Mueller if we're pushing the boat out, or VDW...I was impressed by Navas last night though, if he can manage his homesickness well...

More than happy with the keepers' we have to be honest.

 

[BenchillBlue]

I personally call Silva a "WOW" signing, but a bigger WOW signing would be Iniesta. It's not the big four as the ITK's have told you so, so the next biggest star IMO is Iniesta. I can't really see that just yet, but you never know.

maybe tolmie was jealous that noel told everyone on talkshite this info,,and stole his thunder ,all he is doing is telling us what noel said yesterday
