And so it begins...

My bonus structure would not be a goal bonus or clean sheet bonus but at the end of the season the players get say £1k per postive goal in the goal difference column. Would mean everyone in the team would see the benefit in both attacking and defending

£1k?! That's a shit bonus! People in sales get better than that! You want to reward players with £50,000 approx! Need to offer a bit more than that!

Per goal. And was only an example. Could be £10k/£20k/£50k whatever. The goal difference was 65 last year so each player would get 65 times the bonus amount. Each goal counts both scored and conceded. No player has to be greedy, players will want to defend as well as attack, all players get the same so no fall outs on that - they just negotiate there own "basic"

I'm out.

Good for you. I'm just glad you don't control the bonuses at the club. I'm pretty sure most footballers understand the benefit of attacking and defending. Might have escaped you but if you score more than you concede you win the game. But you are right. Pay them £1,000 for every plus 1 GD they achieve just to act as an incentive/reminder.

We have brought in performance related bonuses which will be tailored to each player I imagine and based on last season it worked pretty damn well.

The signings we have made so far,and the the ones we are still chasing......make us so much stronger.Our weaknesses are being addressed,we already have an incredibly enviable first 11,and these new players will now ensure injuries/suspensions etc. will allow us to compete in all competitions without impacting greatly on the quality available.

We have a great team,with great attitude and morale,we don't want to upset that balance,just enhance it...... and these signings will,imo,ensure that.

Only injuries and soft tissue ones at that will stop us from being right up their again this season.

We had a shocking run with them last season and much more prudent effort and money must be spent on ensuring we get the maximum from the likes of VK, SA, Jova, Rodwell , Nasty, etc this year.

Sports science and injury prevention will take over as the big factor in deciding titles as the game becomes quicker and quicker.

Players like Micah Richards that find it difficult to adapt to the changing needs required to play at the highest level required to win trophies will fall by the wayside quickly.

If you look at the amount of game time our best eleven spent on the pitch last season only Arsenal can compare in terms of what it meant to restricting our ability to put more than 86 points together throughout the season.

It was an incredible effort to win the title when you consider what actually occurred.

It actually eclipsed the effort under RM when Manure collapsed and handed it to us in 2012.

My PhD is in football performance and I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Luckily City have one of the most forward thinking sport science departments in the league.

I would say the reason Arsenal have so many injuries though is due to mismanagement by Wenger and his coaching staff rather than the sport science department there. After all, the coaches have the final say.

I totally agree with this too.

I did sports science at uni and my issue with the soft tissue injuries of Aguero was City neglecting the rehabilitation procedure: he played too much during his comeback and subsequently had a recurrence of his injury.

Absolutely. In my opinion it was that Watford game where he had to play 90 minutes because we were losing. Should never have played more than 55/60 that day.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

Milner's got a year left on his contract and is desperate to leave

Are you basing this on hearsay or fact ?

Hearsay, pure and simple.
