Fernandinho

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I'll tell you someone I did watch last night and was surprised how much he has seemed to regress and lose motivation.

Madrid will be ripe for the picking this summer and Ozil would be an upgrade on Nasri?

Looks a quality box to box midfielder. He has a great engine getting him all over the pitch. He can use both feet, pass a ball well and break up attacks and get upfield to re-join them. He looks very comfortable on the ball and actively seeks it. Fernandinho has been doing this week in, week out in the Ukranian league and Champions League. He's going to be playing his peak years with us.

For me, Fernandinho is a great signing. He'll slot right into our midfield and, as he DOES have a left foot, won't worry whichever side of midfield he plays.

A great signing for us!

Bad couple of weeks for him. Nothing more.

We've had a bloody good go already, much to Barca's annoyance. Not sure even Txiki can balance it back in our favour.

Is Reus realistic? Given that Dortmund have lost Goetze and likely to lose Lewandowski? They are Champions League finalists but the way people are talking they won't have many of the current team left when the next season starts

I'm not so sure this lad is ready to quit Dortmund just yet. Money can always open the door but like Kaka, if a player wants to stay put, doesn't matter if the club will consider offers.

Waspish is correct, I believe Isco or Lamela fits the brief Begiristain is already working towards.

It doesn't get the board moist, but Cavani for around £50m is the biggest deal we can do this summer.

And I believe we will.

Delighted with this if true, every time I've seen him play he's impressed me.

Ozil would be great against most of the league, as long as we didn't become reliant on him in the big games, because he frequently goes walkies. Flatters to deceive in lots of big big matches, very quick, looks impressive, often actually offers very little. However his season long stats clearly show he has a huge amount to offer to the team and is undoubtedly a huge talent.

If Bayern won the CL wouldn't mind Muller fancying a new challenge though ;)

I would love Ozil as he is a great player but I don't see him leaving Madrid soon.

Tolmie mate good to see you on here

Is city looking at any young talent at all like, Nicolas Gaitan, Younes belhanda, Adam maher etc

How about CM targets, we surely need better CMs, what would be our realistic targets

Gundogan? kondogbia, How about moutinho how come we are never linked with him

Any barca boys on our radar like alcantara, tello or delufeu?

 

[Danamy]

Much as I would love it, mate, I think Madrid have the boy completely boxed off at present.

I have been told to expect a major surprise from left field, but would wager that would be more akin to a Neymar or Reus, than Bale.

Neymar really? You think we can beat Barcelona to Neymar?

We've had a bloody good go already, much to Barca's annoyance. Not sure even Txiki can balance it back in our favour.

I still think Neymar will end up at Real, when Tranny moves on

Likewise.
