De Jong wants Van der Wiel at City

[flapjack]

I think we could use a defensive midfielder who can do more than just tackle, ie, pass forwards and shoot on target.

I concur...if you play in central midfield you should be able to shoot, I'm sick of this bollox 'oh thats not my job to score goals' ...course its your job and if you can't shoot then you shouldn't be a footballer

Lol that's nearly as good as the classic 'you shouldn't be allowed to be a professional footballer unless you can use both feet'.

Fairly concerning that in his highlights he's giving away penalties and getting sent off........

I've never even heard of him though, he may well be top class, although i'm not a fan of Alves at all, he can't defend.

Reassuring that if you are concerned, he should be ok, using your guide of figuring out players.

yeah and i think we could use a keeper who does more than just catch or save and take goal kicks, having another striker would be nice aswell, not just a goalscorer but someone who can also play in net or play at CB.

lol

i wouldnt say you shouldnt be allowed but how anyone can make it to that level if they cant use both feet is beyond me.

Are City players on a "recommend a friend" bonus? If they sign up, they get £50 of M&S vouchers lol

I don't mind if they are on a scheme like that as long as their recommendations are good for the team :)

Looks half decent, we could do with an out and out full back, not a centre-back turned into a full back. I know Mancini wants versatility and all, but IMO out and out full backs are essential. If he is indeed after him, does this hint at us playing a narrow midfield next season in a 4-2-3-1 formation? With the full backs giving the width?

It's been said on here plenty wrongun, I can't see what's so difficult to understand about it, if you can make enough of a contribution with your one good foot then someone will pay you for it, voila - you're a pro footballer.
