[FantasyIreland]

Lewandowski,Bale,Baines,Isco,Papadopoulos and Moutinho.

That trophy would have blue ribbons again.

Tolmie, I'm moving apartment and selling the kitchen appliances that we bought for 2k 18 months ago (as the new one has the same appliances included).

What do you think I should ask the new tenants to pay ?

Haha! Taking into account depreciation, and whether they are Neff or Naff, about 800 Euros would seem fair.

Good luck with the apartment, though. I'm certain it has got nothing on the Wythy Estate, however.

Perhaps get a pitbull to endear yourself to the neighbours?

Tolmie, are we at all interested in Reus? He would be perfect for us.

Bale and Lewandowski would be a very intelligent use of our funds.

Why spend £50m on Falcao or Cavani when we can swap Dzeko for Lewandowski, and then use the money to go big time on Bale?

Bale gives us the different facet the team lacks, he is 23.

Lewandowski is a predator in the penalty area, he is 24 and is made for England.

Cavani is a couple of years older and Falcao is 28 early next year, both who will want £200,000 plus a week and a five year deal.

The other two have major resale value if they are successful and can easily pocket £300k a week between them.

Leaving City with the best part of another £50m plus sales to buy the world class midfielder we desperately need.

Lewandowski either moves to potential treble winners or the potential FA Cup winners. I reckon he's done and dusted unless we really push Dzeko swap deal.

I believe the recent sale of Goetze may have now changed the stance of the Dortmund board in terms of a further backlash in selling them another top name.

If I had to put money on, I expect Suarez to rock up at Bayern, Pep's brother also happens to be his agent...

The one club I fear on Lewandowski is United, they are confirmed admirers of the lad.

Dzeko is our ace. What might not have been receptive in November, can change when you start talking to someone a little bit cheeky.

Wouldn't argue with that too much but I do like Cavani and would think he is more versatile than Lewandowski. If funds are limited, I'd rather have Lewandowski and Bale than just Cavani. The Dortmund team demonstrate what you can do with top management and sensible spending.

Exactly. Nobody can really say that Lewandowski is half the player Cavani is, can they?

He's half the price and would assume he would settle a little easier.

I was a little suspect about Lewandowski until last night. His awareness in the penalty area was more Falcao-like.

Tolmie - is it your understanding that City will move quickly this summer to get their targets secured ahead of pre-season etc

 

[avoidconfusion]

What, realistically speaking, are the best alternatives?

Are the management known to be in any current negotiations/link ups with any other club as regards the transfer of of a striker that would meet our needs?

We don't need an alternative for the first 2. We'll sign one of them.

I believe it when I see it.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

I'd prefer Falcao to Cavani. He's so rapid! His balance and agility reminds me of Messi a bit. Saying that if Dzeko goes, we're lacking a bit of height up front.

Just because he's tall doesn't mean he's any good. I'd rather have forwards who could use their feet instead. But if height is everything, we might as well just stick Pantilimon up there because he's the tallest player in the league.

worldwide it just seems that this type of thing never happens, though everyone always saying that's how they plan it to go, doesn't it?

With player sales and huge contracts off the books along with our 'transfer pot'........ Do you not think they could be realistic?
