here they all come, fucking flappers & drama queens.
Aye. And Silva. Both need a manager who's going to get the best out of them. Pellegrini's the man. Especially for David.Proelia said:NQCitizen said:andrewmswift said:you know we have sergio aguero, right?
Yeah. He didn't tear the league apart last season did he? Don't get me wrong I love Aguero as much as anyone but he's not clinical and he's injury prone.
I think alot on here is underestimating just how good kun is, there is noway id swap aguero for cavani

This is just my opinion but there's a reason we weren't in for Falcao and there's a reason why we're dallying over Cavani, and for my money it's because the technical staff and scouts have got their eye on a player who has maybe a different (lower) profile than the two aforementioned strikers, but who in the long term would be a much smarter acquisition.
There seems to be an acceptance that City have to buy ready made top shelf players. I disagree and I think we'll see in this new era more signings which seem on the face of it to be less glamorous, but which turn out long term to be far more worthwhile.
Bare in mind that 3/4 years ago Cavani, Falcao, and Lewandowski all moved for relative peanuts compared to what they're moving for now. That's when we should've been on these players and I think in future that's what we'll be aiming to do.

agree. the obsession with cavani is very mancini-like, buying the 50+ million player rather than the ~20-25 million player who in 2-3 years will be worth ~50 million.
it's why we didn't land our targets last year, because we were going after the absolute top line players, and going for all of them at the same time was unrealistic and caused us to miss on all.
if you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both.

one season with a couple of niggling injuries doesn't really make one injury prone, does it? for all we know cavani could miss 1/3 season this year and it wouldn't be any bigger surprise than if kun did
