Gareth Bale

[dctid]

Ahh wasn't sure about his current contract. If we get him, cool, if not, whatever. In the end of the day, us, the fans, have no idea what is going on behind the scenes, and whoever we bring in i'll be happy with and i will trust Mancini's judgement

I think its 2015 hence the question mark

Pretty much agree fella - i just hope we pull out all the stops for Cavani (if true of course) would love to see him in a City shirt - top top player

I would love Cavani too, but who would he replace? Seems like Edin, Mario and Carlito are all staying..

There are too many reports linking Dzeko to Bayern for there not to be something in it - i think Mancini is happy with the strikers he has on the basis that better strikers are not available but if Cavani is available then he would improve the team and someone has to be sacrificed and sadly it looks like Dzeko (he is worth goos money so would help offset the cost of Cavani transfer fee) although not sure how long tevez has left - 2 years i think not sure

I prefer to give Wiess a chance instead of spending 40 million pound on Bale.

Well I thought Mancini gave him quite a number of chances during pre-season last time round, he just failed to impress.

Strikers are effected more than any other position by confidence. Dzeko proved against Spurs he can be a fantastic striker, but he needs regular starts. Torres showed how world class strikers can transform. Likewise yesterday RVP was a shadow of his PL form with extra pressure on the "big stage".
Whatever strikers we have must receive mental support and adequate game time to help them relax and play their natural game. The reason so many City fans wanted Dzeko is because he can be a clinical "world class" finisher. Bayern have seen his talent regularly in the Bundesleague.
If Dzeko wants to go. so be it but we shouldnt automatically expect Cavani or RVP to score as regularly for us than they score at their present clubs.

Torres was injured at Liverpool and has never fully recovered. Wrong example. That's only how it looks to me. Only the player and those close to him know for sure

There are still people that cling to the fanciful notion that Weiss is not shit?

Only those who haven't seen him play.

Torres may have had a niggling injury but it would appear most of his troubles were in his head.
He was recommended to visit a psychologist.
Are you suggesting that strikers are not hugely affected by confidence?
