"Is Nasri the last one in?", "I hope not"-Mancini (merged)

[nmc]

Marwood said Bellamy and Tevez staying. So that leaves only 1 player to come in

He just said they're still City players at the moment didn't he, rather than they're staying?

I think its clear Bellers won't play for us again.

Nasri and Silva will play up top as winger/strikers of the 4-3-3. To cover the 3 in midfield, we have NDJ, Barry, Milner and Yaya. That's not enough.

so you think Mancini is only going to play 3 of Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli, Johnson every game?

Re: "Is Nasri the last one in?", "I hope not"-Mancini

odd that we'd want to get a loan for a player.

FFP I guess. We can't keep on spending.

why?

The clues in the FFP bit.

For the life of me, I don't understand why anyone wants more players. I am yet to hear a valid reason for one. I have explained already how we are covered everywhere. If we get depleted due to injury, then it would have been bad luck that we couldn't control anyway. So it is seriously time to chlll.

We have : Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko, Balo, Nasri, AJ and Silva who could play as forwards
We have: De Jong, Barry, Milner, Yaya, Nasri, Silva, Kolarov, Zabaleta who could play as Central Mids
We have: Komps, Lescott, Kolo, Savic, MIcah, Yaya who could play as CD's
We have: Micah, Zaba, Savic, Milner who could play as RBs
We have: Clichy, Kolarov, Barry, Lescott who could play as LBs

And we have not even broached the reserves: With Juan, Wabara, Assulin, Suarez, e.t.c. We just do NOT need any more players right now. We don't even know how good are players are, and where they fit best. Some of the guys we have now will have to be let go by the end of the year, coz they don't fully fit, or can't get enough playing time.

Lets figure that out first. This fat kid in a candystore attitude is appalling. We are just not going to get any more than marginally better adding anyone. The main fear was a loss of SIlva, now there is Nasri, who is different but close in quality of running a team. We are set!

And let me preempt your questions, and answer them:
But we have 4 competitions this year?: Errh! Not a good enough excuse. We had 4 last year too. Some how everyone seems to forget that. And it was worse coz we played Thursday which meant fewer days to rest.

But we don't have a speedy winger yet? Errh! Not good enough. We really don't use wingers, never have. Some of us said it all last season. The width are the fullbacks. This was obvious preseason last year, and it is even more so now, with Kolarov better, Micah up to standard and Clichy joining. Speed at fullback is what gives width to the talent in the middle.

But we need Viera's replacement? No we don't. He was a sub who came in to close games. Savic, Clichy, Zaba, Kolarov, Milner, Barry, Yaya, Dejong. Whichever one isn't playing at the time can come in and close games. The key is being of a defensive mindset. All of the above are!

But we need a De Jong backup? Watch Bolton! Enough said.

But, Yaya and Kolo will be gone for a month? We have 4 games. We can survive 2 without them. The other 2 we could lose even if they were around. Besides, again Savic, De Jong, Milner, Wabara, Barry should be able to hold down the forth while they are gone.

What if we lose a midfielder to Injury like last January? Then we lose a midfielder to injury. That is why we have a team this talented, so we can push on. Who is to say we wouldn't lose 2 to injury :?

So really, there is no reason why we should by another player. I am almost certain that 90% of the players we may buy, are more likely to make us worse than better. As newly purchased players often get favoritism until they fully integrate, And that may just work against us.

Let us just see what we have for now!!! PLEASE!!! MANCINI!!!

Valid points. I think we have a top squad. Bobby just needs to keep them keen and champing at the bit. If he can do that we will have a great season.

Great post!
We don't need any more players.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 26, 2011 1:04 pm --<br /><br />But to loan one player like Gago seems a acceptable idea for me.

we have de Jong & Yaya for defensive midfielders - Barry & Milner and the rest just aren't and Yaya is better deployed further forward. So that leaves de Jong - our only DM specialist - that is why Bob wants another. Seems reasonable to me, problem is fitting him in the CL squad.

I think now gago is injured we will probably not bring anybody else in,step forward abdul razak.
