De Rossi (continued)

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Needless to say we are not going after DDR

What you got for us Squirty?

I'm not an ITK on DDR.
Just a hunch based on our dealings and and pronouncements

I would agree with you on the whole but I just get the feeling that there's something bubbling away that we'll all be happy with.

khaldoon and the sheik are too savy to be outdone In the window.

its cute you think the sheik has any involvment in the day to day running he doesnt sit at his desk plotting transfer swoops and picking players he likes he too busy making billions a day else where

 

[southern muppet]

The basic premise is correct though. There will be a reaction by City, not necessarily because of one-upmanship or face-saving, but just because the team we only inched past last season has added a top bracket world class striker to be at the fulcrum of their attack. It'd shock me if we didn't make a significant signing(s) in the next two weeks.

Agreed. Add to that the return of vidic. A lot Of city fans are saying tevez is like having a new signing this season. Well that's the same for them with vidic. Stand still and we go backwards in my opinion. As someone has pointed out even barca and Madrid get 2 or 3 in every season. We should do the same with some real quality players. De rossi, agger and falcao would be great if we could get rid of dzeko, RSC and Adebayor.

I was not going for cute.

you right though , maybe not the sheik. Khaldoon oversees the oversight.
He makes sure shit goes to plan. Just look at the sergio deal.
I really dont think he will stand by and see us outdone in the window..its not how they operate. You probably read the sheiks statment and i am confident we will get somebody, but if the milk turn out to be sour we not the type of pussies to drink it,, or at least anymore<br /><br />-- Thu Aug 16, 2012 8:15 am --<br /><br />

its got nothing to do with spending more, it competing , staying ahead. achieving our goals. and yes it does cost money but the money is merely the means not the objective

Yes but they are not just going to buy for the sake of it and while the likes of **** features Adebayor and his Hughes alikes rape our club of huge wages we are pretty stumped

 

[AntonDonJuan]

I doubt we will get him, love to be proved wrong though.

Saying that he's no jack rodwell, suppose he could provide decent cover if jack's hammys go again

Unless his back problem flares up of course. Then perhaps Rodwell will get half a season.<br /><br />-- Thu Aug 16, 2012 8:53 am --<br /><br />

He's still had time to meet Tevez & Kia personally & do interviews talking about buying & selling players, so I recon he knows exactly where we are up to & could step in at any time to move things along if he wanted to.

He's also not daft.

Barca and Real have only bought one player between them in this transfer window, Alba to Barca. Granted Real should get Modric but in reallity you only need to get in players who will improve your team or buy players of potential who will make an impact in seasons to come. It seems to me that City have been doing the latter, Rodwell, Pozo, Ntcham (think we've got him).

If we get a sniff of an availability of a DDR or Martinez i am sure we will make our move.

Martinez gone to Bayern. I thought he'd be good for City, but he was very poor at the Olympics. Only the small teams seemed to treat that competition seriously.

[IBlue]

Agree Marvin re Martinez. Again all the top players who have moved this year how many would you say would improve our team, i would probably say only one Thiago Silva. Sometimes i think we get drawn into wanting players to sign for us just so they cannot sign for our rivals. Think we should have trust in the squad we have, last year we were growing, hopefully this year we shall bloom !

 

[skybluecelt1990]

The way we appear not to have entered an arm wrestle with Bayern over Martinez, makes me think we may be putting more effort in trying to De Rossi sorted. Get him in with a CB and clear the deadwood, especially upfront (Ade & RSC) and then we'll be sorted.

Not everyone will rate our signings. I think Rodwell is a really poor signing, signed because of his nationality and half a good season when he broke through. He's gone backwards and spends all his time injured.

Hopefully he will come good with us, but he's an average player IMO.

I would rather we signed Barkley from Everton if we were going down that route

Tbh, I much prefer signing players with raw ability like Rodwell to old farts like RVP or players for huge money with little background to justify it (like Martinez).

The Silvas & Agueros are the real bracket we should be aiming at when we spend big money (young proven world talent) but they are few & far between. But in the one case of DeRossi, I would be happy to see us spend big on an older player, just this once.

The idea of spending the same kind of money on Martinez as we spent on Silva, makes me feel ill, but DeRossi is the real deal.

But Vidic doesn't have Rio's pace to help him out now. I'd love to see Vidic and Rio up against Aguero and Tevez. They will destroy them, and there are plenty of other Premiership forwards who will enjoy running at Vidic - that's if their teams have the courage to attack them. He can head the ball out all day long, and set pieces and long balls is all that most teams dare throw at Utd.

If Vidic is the same player & can stay fit. Both of which I doubt.
