dont think we are going to get big names.... this is why...

I find the concept of Bridge and Santa Cruz costing 30 million quid each rather amusing haha.

 

[pedrag40]

Just a hunch but i think all the talk of bridge is a smoke screen, i think we'll get someone off the continent...Grosso, Taiwo or Lahm. It wouldnt suprise me if the rumours are winding chelsea into thinking they will have 15 mill more to spend (which i think is twice a realistic price) then they actually will. I heard rsc has a 18mil buy out clause anyway, so why offer anymore than that?

Kaka, Fabiano and David Villa are not involved in the Champions League. Thes players could'nt care less if they were cup-tied for the Uefa because its a second rate tounament if i'm honest.

Did any of these clowns at SSN or national newspapers predict on 31st August last year that we were going to sign Robinho from Real Madrid within 24 hours- no they didn't - because they haven't got a clue what is happening at MCFC anymore. It is all speculation, nobody at ADUG would ever declare what money is going to be spent at City. To be quite honest we would be signing up to 200 players if we did what the above mentioned have predicted. Lets just wait and see who arrives and more importantly lets now believe. The sky really is the limit now fellow blues.

 

[the plasterer]

if we did manage to sign "a big name" from a team in the champions league, does that make him cup-tied in the uefa cup?

 

[bobmcfc]

who cares if their cuptied. you get big stars whenthey are available before all the big clubs get their hands on big money in the summer

 

[ello_jo]

60 million, ha. You reckon their worth 30mill on average each? Now hughes knows he might have to spend a bit but he is fucking forest gump

 

[Rosler81]

you think bridge and santa will cost 60m ?

Id say Bridge £5m & RSC £15m maximum.

I'd say 25m at the most, no way are both of them gonna cost us 60m no fucking way.
