Depends on how you view football outside of your knowledge of City. All of the players above are of a great calibre and would be a very good signing, and depending on the interest of other clubs or just managing to agree a sale it would be seen as a coup by those who appreciate world football and aren't screaming and whining for a Galactico every 10 seconds.
but this isn't just about a "very good signing," it's about a marketing asset and a statement of intent. ronaldo or bale are the only ones that fit that

Bale or Ronaldo?
Cos I reckon at 70m we wouldn't be that far away from Ronaldo.
Ronaldo. But a slightly more realistic target then it is Bale.

I genuinely think Bale is one of only 3 signings that would officially 'please' this forum.
It'd be a fucking whopper of a catch.

i would gauge both these targets as equally difficult to buy.

Ha, I can assure you it's not related. I suspect there will be a few people disappointed tomorrow.

Why would anyone senior at city reveal who we are interested in signing on an Internet forum lol !!!Brewster's millions said:Stoned Rose said:The way Eastlandsblue words his post sounds to me like he actually works at City.

To refer to John MacBeath simply as John is a little strange given that most fans would not be able to place him just by his first name - does suggest a degree of familiarity.
The speed with which we got rid of Tevez still surprises me a little - almost like we were clearing the decks for something. We'll see.
