loving that.

could see us challenging top 4 without a doubt if we were to pull this off, even without eto'o we could still pull a world class striker to go with the rest and still challenge top 4

And a bench with Elano, Richards, Bellamy, Bojinov, Johnson etc, etc,

Awesome!
 
Re: City's £30m Eto'o swoop

More likely to be


Given

Zabaletta Kompany Onouha Bridge

De Jong Barry


SWP /Ireland Tevez Robbie

Eto o

Both defensive midfield players away, only one at home

What about if Tevez signs along with Barry and Eto ?

GIVEN

ZAB KOMPANY NEDUM BRIDGE

SWP BARRY IRELAND ROBINO

ETO TEVEZ


Midfield looks light tho ?

I'm sure he'll stick with the 4-5-1/4-3-3 formation that most teams play with nowadays.

For me (with these signings) that would be Barry, Ireland, De Jong as the middle 3, and any 3 from Tevez, Eto'o, Rob, SWP, Boj, Elano for the top 3.
 
Re: City's £30m Eto'o swoop

Tevez will help out I can see at some games


Given

Zab Dunne Onouha Bridge


De Jong Kompany Barry Robbie

Tevez

Eto o


Subs Ireland Bellamy Boj SWP Elano Richards Hart

Petrov doesn't make 18.

When this starts to happen you know we will have arrived.

You've got to have Ireland in that starting line-up Rammy. Get rid of Dunne, move VK into the back line and stick Stevie in the middle.

Strange that you've not touched the back four? I think it's nailed on that Kompany will move back there if we sign a top holding midfielder. Think it's highly likely we'll sign another centre-half (Lescott?), plus maybe even a left back. De Jong won't play on the right for sure, so it's either SWP or a new signing to play there. Interesting that you've dropped Ireland after the season he's just had. That won't be popular on here, but I tend to agree that he won't get in the team ahead of Tevez, so maybe he needs to think about a more defensive/linking midfield role next season?
 
Re: City's £30m Eto'o swoop

I keep asking the same thing but...

Do you really see Kompany as a CB? or
Do you really think Hughes sees Kompany as a CB?

My expectation is that Kompany and DeJong will battle it out for the DM role. Whoever doesn't win will be on the bench - not slotted in elsewhere. Same with Richards and Zabba for RB. They may play somewhere else coming off the bench or if we are stuck though.

And while I'm at it. I see Tevez as competition for SWP. I' doubt we'd see them line up together unless again we are light for some reason (injuries, suspensions, substitutions etc). Do you really think Tevez is a front man.

I'm not too sure where people have got this idea from that Tevez is a right winger? I may be wrong, but surely his best position is 'in the hole'? In other words, Stephen Irelands current position!
 
Re: City's £30m Eto'o swoop

If we could get any single forward that is realistically available (thereofre im not including the likes of torres or messi) then it is eto id go for....he has everything to make it in the prem and is different from the sort of strikers we already have in that he is able to play ont he shoulder of the last man and go past someone with pace, power and trickery......

a forward 4 including boj, eto, and (a rsc type player) and one other would have all bases covered

Not sure mate but I will ask the guys at ADUG and see if they allow me to tell you what they think :)
 
Re: City's £30m Eto'o swoop

Exciting times indeed!

One question Ajay which you havn't quite answered from a few other posters...

Are the 2 players you were talking about the other week (without naming names if you don't want too) in this thread i.e. two out of Tevez, Eto or Barry?

Thanks for the updates as always Ajay x
 
Re: City's £30m Eto'o swoop

------------------Given-----------------------
Zabaletta----Richards----Kompany----Bridge
---------------Ireland----Barry--------------
--------------------Tevez--------------------
Wright-Philips--------Eto'o-----------Robinho

Barry would be the holding midfield player while Ireland links the play between midfield and attack. Tevez can be the first line of defence by chasing and hasseling the opposition defenders when they have the ball. De Jong could be used away from home.
