It's quiet 10, no apologies! (continued)

[Bluemooner33]

I will be delighted if this window brings in Van Persie, Thiago Silva and Bale. With dzeko possiblyu going to milan in a swap deal for silva.

Love the thought of Nige having RVP's company for the whole tournament, hopefully convince him/ find some dirt to blackmail him with.

Nige will prob be part of any RVP deal if he doesn't sign a new contract

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

Why would u not aim for that?

Liverpool once conceded 13 goals in an entire season, think 77-78.

Says a lot for that City team we finished second, two points behind a team which also went on to win the European Cup that year?

City should have got closer to Chelsea's 96 record points tally when you start to think about it.

Two points against both Fulham and Sunderland.

A point dropped at Sunderland away, Swansea away etc.

If we get the players in that we want then I think we'll rewrite the history books next year in terms of points and goals scored.

I think thats hard to tell really we should of demolished both those records this season but for 2 months something went completely wrong and the worse part is I dont think anyone actually has a clue what it was

i think we`d take up the inter interest rather than let the arse have him!

 

[BlueHubert]

How the hell are they getting him so cheap? He could be the best left-back in world football soon.

It wouldn't of been so cheap for the likes of us, hence the reason why we backed off, along with his desire to sign for Barca.

You can bet your bottom dollar though that Barca's also getting him on the drip.

When you say 'drip', do you mean that they will be paying in installments over a the length of his contract?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Milan bang in for Dzeko.

Hate dealing with these cunts.

So we are offering him for sale or he has instigated a move?

Would have thought that deal would be linked to us finding a replacement?

Not a Scooby!

I'm more fearful that Ibra suddenly comes onto the radar if Milan want to recruit Dzeko.

Can I claim ITK status if it happens?

;-P

That would be some level after conceding the least amount of goals for 2 years straight. What are we aiming for a complete blank out

A point dropped at Sunderland away, Swansea away etc.

Chelsea conceded 15 in '04/5. Liverpool conceded 16 in '78/9 but over 42 games so that was fewest per game.

City should be aiming to conceding fewer than 20 league goals. There is a trade-off between playing attractive, attacking, high-scoring football and defensive solidity but if the former involves spending most of the game in your opponent's half, you can have the best of both worlds.

IMO 15 goals conceded will never be beaten in the premiership again. but again this was a 2 horse race season. We have 6 highly competitive teams now instead of 1 or 2

Disappear for half an hour and its all fucking change.

So looks like Dzeko leaving either to Milan or Bayern.
That frees up cash for either Silva or RVP. If it is Silva then we need a striker to plug the gap left by Dzeko, seems people are saying Sturridge available for 10m. So strike force would be Tevez, Aguero, Sturridge and Balotelli well that seems an evenly balanced foursome. We are still in for Bale I assume and Martinez. If we sign RVP instead of Sturridge we need to lose another of our players so that could be Nige allowing Martinez to take his place if we can prise him out of Bilbao. Bale is a one off.

So outs Nige and Dzeko if we are getting RVP.

Ins RVP/Sturridge, Silva, Martinez and Bale. Doesn't seem to me to be tinkering with the side that seems quite an adjustment. :-)

I'm more fearful that Ibra suddenly comes onto the radar if Milan want to recruit Dzeko.

Last week Mancini said that Ibra is a champion. I understand the clamouring for RVP because he is a proven performer in the EPL. But if Mrs RVP prefers the shopping in London then Houston we may have a slight problem. Is it that perturbing the prospect of Ibra as a fallback option?

it seems that the targets are to make a stronger more all round squad for rotation that is one of the reasons why hazzard didn't want to come in my honest opinion.

 

[The Future's Blue]

Interesting.

Jordi Alba to Barca for 12m Euros. What a bargain!

source?

Emery has let it slip that he is going to Barca but no fee has yet been mentioned.

Emery just said he is sold already, didn't say where.<br /><br />-- Thu Jun 07, 2012 12:51 pm --<br /><br />

As suspected AJ is wanted by Liverpool (mail) for a fee of around £16mill. My prediction for what it's worth is AJ will end up at Liverpool for around £18mill, Ade will go to spurs for £8mill, Santa Cruz to Betis for £2mill and Weiss to Turkey for £4mill. We will buy Bale for £40mill. So that's a net outlay of £8mill.

We could get 30m out of the dippers for AJ. They shell out 20m for English players with half his skill! Start the negotiations at 40m. They'd probably surprise us and say 'Aw, all right then, lah.'

Apparently their budget is 25 millions for this summer and if that's true they won't spend 16 millions on AJ.

Fuck me, I can't keep up!

And fucking you you help just how? :)

I think Dzeko would love a move to AC Milan to follow Shevchenko steps.

He's Milan fan (or at least he said so when they were interested in him while he was at Wolfsburg)

 

[ello_jo]

Is it bad that I wouldnt actually mind seeing Ibra here? He gets a lot of hate, but he only plays for teams that finish top 2, he must have some impact. Hes got a great touch (which suits our style), hes tall (to fit the "target man" role) and he cant half take a shit hot set peice.

Yea u got me, I just want him to be on citys fifa team next year.

RVP could always leave the Mrs in London, another added bonus for move up north ;-)

 

[LoveCity]

Ibra is the best target man in the world and anyone who calls him overrated is probably basing it off some tepid showings against English clubs. But that raises a concern, he hasn't been that good against English sides in general, is it a warning sign that he might not suit this league? He was excellent against Arsenal last season in one leg then looked like the worst player in the world in the next leg, he can be frustrating like that but his heights far surpass just about any other player of his kind.
