City's Summer War Chest

[jrb]

How much now with Mario's transfer fee and his wages off the accounts?

Have a feeling Mansour, Khaldoon, and Mancini will splash the cash in the Summer.

I don't think City be making the same mistakes as last Summer. Well I hope not. :-?

 

[Manc in London]

I can see a few more going, as well as some first teamers taking up squad roles.

I would guess that Kolo, Lescott (personally I'd love him to stay), Kolarov, Boyata, Sinclair, Tevez, Dzeko and RSC :)

 

[Mayor West]

i dont think we'll make the same mistake of getting in squad players for the sake of it under txiki and ferran.

we will be after a top quality striker thats for sure, i'd guess at a round £100m to spend, and then get some back with a few sales.

 

[daztrueblue91]

The wage bill will be the main thing and with Balo, Kolo, Bridge, RSC, Johnson and Tevez/Dzeko that could slash the wage bill by 500,000 k a week.

I can see us signing 4 players in the summer then replacing whoever else we sell.

A striker, winger, creative midfielder and another versatile player will probably come in.

The majority of what we spend should be coming from sales really.

Can see the likes of Dzeko, Lescott and Kolarov going. Plus Balotelli, i guess that'd be about £60 million.

Add a bit on top and we should have a decent amount to play with.

What we need is world class purchases in style of RVP whether that be a falcao/ Neymar who knows
Not the stop gaps of this season

I think Kolo has shown his worth this season and proved doubters wrong......an important part of the squad as is Lescott

I hoe Tevez stays even if it just to run down his contract and then return to argentina...still a very valuable player and has shown how adaptable he is

RSC, Boyata def need to be sold

Sinclair needs game time....to decide whether he can make it in the first team or not

We do need a 4th striker now mario has gone and while we do need guedetti to have a chance many have tried to make that final jump and very few ever make it.

Dzeko is an enigma.....sometimes great sometimes woeful....Id replace him with Falcao (but dont think he will come) or Cavani

An attacking driving force in midfield is needed as well but that is the hardest type of player to find

I still dont think garcia is good enough either but we will have to give him till the end of the season at least

RSC and Kolo are out of contract and looking for retirement contracts aswell as game time.

Sinclair will be sold imo.

Dzeko I like but is a square peg in a round hole. Would like him to stay but can see him going.

I agree with Garcia and the driving force in midfield. A deep lying playmaker/prime Steven Gerrard is needed. Somebody who can defend and pass, can move quickly and help speed up attack. Ramires of Chelsea is a player I love but impossible to sign really, need to find this type of player though.

The savings on wages will offer us a big kitty let alone new revenue from tv and also investment. Loving it :)

 

[pml79]

Think mostly depends on how we finish up this season with us fans anyway . We finish with nothin then all hell breaks lose the cup then a few players here n there the league one or two in n out the double robertos a saint we dont need no one etc etc

Rumours have it that Txiki is hellbent on reducing the number of high earners so if say Dzeko, Lescott, Barry and Milner leaves I could see us buying one or two players with star quality.
Otherwise no one.

That´s financial reality, that´s building a model for the future sustainability of the club.
If we lose the title or not don´t come into it.
This ain´t a game for amateurs anymore we could say.
