City's Summer War Chest

[NoahCity]

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. :-?

Well don't get me wrong and I certainly don't want to sound like a spoilt child, but for whatever reason, we have gone backwards as a squad in the last two transfer markets. If policy has now changed and finishing top four is the ambition then for me as an old fan great...but if the hierarchy want to win the Champions League/Premier league then we've now not only slipped behind the Rags but also Chelski big time imo.

As always I'm just glad we are not in the "typical City" dogfight avoiding relegation...me and my mates have already held our party for obtaining 40 points a few weeks ago like we do every year. CTID

oh no, would dread us becoming like Arsenal are right now.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

A lot of people are forgetting the quota's we need to fill for the Premier League and Champions League squads.

A lot have said Lescott and Sinclair should go but their replacements aren't home grown.

Premier League and Champions League Rules state we need 8 home grown players, we currently have 9 so if we replace Lescott and Sinclair a home grown player over 21 needs to replace them. Guidetti won't count for another year.

Also Dzeko goes and is replaced by Cavani/Falcao then we will have 4 strikers under 6ft.

Can see Lescott going as it's a world cup year and his last chance of appearing in one and he's not getting ahead of Kompany and Natastic. Everton most likely especially if they get in the champions league.

Guidetti to i can see going on loan for a season with it being a world cup year, after the season he has had he needs to play football.

Can see us cashing in on Kolarov and be replaced by Rekik as i think that is where he will play not centre back.

Cavani is 6ft and Guidetti is 6ft 1

Being tall doesn't mean a striker is of any use to us. Barca aren't exactly big up front but that team can play a bit! I personally like Dzeko, but he's hardly a Wyn Davies or Derek Kevan type of battering ram that I guess many are asking for here.
