It is oh so quiet in here thread for 2014 summer transfers

Re: It is oh so quiet in here thread for 2014 summer transfe

As I pointed out the above has 17 foreigners in it without Nasty, if we were to sign eg Vidal it would mean another foreign player would have to leave. That would be a complete transformation of a team. Not impossible if eg Navas were to leave as well.

Garcia has been rumoured to leave. So probably him.

Seems things are warming up at last, Fernando signed, Zuculini on a plane to Manchester for a medical Lopes on his way to Lille for a loan. Not a bad days business. Just need that centre back and reserve keeper and unless something spectacularly happen I suspect that should be it. Have the kids broke up for school, noticing a lot of stupid posts or an infestation of rags.

I reckon once we go to Malaga and sort out Willy I expect all three signings of Fernando Willy and Benatia to be done and dusted. All we need then is flighchecker (for Fernando and Benatia) baggage handlers, City Kev at the airport and someone on hospital watch.

As soon as I get back from Brazil and over the traumas that Glastonbury weekend combined with World Cup knockout football will surely cause in our house, I'll pack a rucksack and head for the Aerodrome.

What a difference a day makes.

Yesterday I was just about to think what someone else had posted that Navas to Barca with Sanchez to ourselves and flogging Negredo because he has personal issues with Manchester or maybe his girlfriend does. Then Bang, out of the blue it seems on the face of it Yaya is having a go at the club, but when I have read the reports in full it seems not it seems as though he is blaming himself for not requesting to be with his brother rather than go to Abu Dhabi. Lets assume we get the targets we want and Yaya leaves along with Negredo, is the squad this year stronger, the same or weaker.

Players in brackets are who the new player replaces. (17 foreign players, 4 Association players +1 homegrown+ 1 player who will qualify under 21 rules (i think)


....................................Hart /Cabello (Pants)

Zab/Sagna (Richards)....Komps/New CB(Lescott)....MDM?Nasty (Under21)....Kolorov/Clichy


Navas/Lopes(or Milner if he stays)....Fernandhino/Rodwell(Yaya)....Fernando(Barry)/Garcia

...................................Nasri/Silva...........................................................

................................Dzeko/Sanchez (Negredo)/Aguero/Jovetic

Players on the books and not included above Boyata, Rekik + academy stars of the future.

I would say the defence will be much improved especially with Fernando in front of it. Midfield weaker by the fact that Yaya has gone but work wise improved and allows Fernandhino to move forward. Striker wise improved especially if Jovetic stays fit and with Sanchez either operating from midfield or as a striker I think that has improved. Overall a slight improvement. Enough to retain title? unsure.

A CM 4 of Fernandinho, Fernando, Rodwell and Garcia would not win the title.

Yaya must not be sold. Makes no sense. No-one will spend the money on him to make it worth it anyway.


I'd sell Garcia, loan Rodwell and go with Yaya, fernandinho, Fernando and Milner as our CMs

Signing a Gk as good as Cabellero as backup is overkill. No point when a HG player can be got for fuck all.

Foreign:
Zabaleta
Sagna
Kompany
(new CB)
Nastasic
MDM
Kolarov
Yaya
Fernandinho
Fernando
Nasri
Silva
Navas
(Sanchez or James Rodriguez)
Jovetic
Aguero
17)Dzeko

HG:
Hart
Wright
(new GK)
Clichy
Boyata
23)Milner

23 man squad + all the youngsters

Loan out (notably):
Lopes
Huws
Rodwell
Zuculini
Guidetti

Sell:
Richards 5-8m
Garcia 8-10m
Sinclair 2m
Negredo 20m

(Should get around 35-40m)

Buy:
HG GK eg. S. Given
Sagna 0m
Benatia 30m
Fernando 12m
Zuculini 1m
Sanchez 30m or James Rodriguez 40m?

(Should cost around 73-83m
= 43-48m NET)


-------------------------------------------------Aguero/Dzeko/Jovetic-----------

------------------------------Sanchez or James Rodriguez/Nasri/Silva/Navas

---------------------------------------Yaya/Fernando/Fernandinho/Milner

---------Kolarov/Clichy---------Benatia/Nastasic---------Kompany/Demichelis------Zabaleta/Sagna

--------------------------------------------------Hart/Given/Wright

I'd be very confident of a successful season if that was our squad

I would be happy with your synopsis except for the GK comment - if we want to be a real contender for Champions League and compete on all fronts we need a top quality back up keeper to keep Joe on his toes. What happens if Joe has another loss of form or heaven forbid an injury that keeps him out for a month ? Let's keep to Pellegrini's philosophy - 2 quality players for each position - and get Caballero in. I am sure it will happen because so far the signings are addressing the weaknesses in our squad and GK cover and First team CB are the other priorities. If FFP allows then a bit more width on the left would also improve the squad but let's sort out the main requirements first.

Re: It is oh so quiet in here thread for 2014 summer transfe

So I wonder what next week will bring? Any new arrivals or departures?
