It's Quiet 9 - maybe just maybe

[Damanino]

I hope we can get someone on loan. A striker of course. Any injury can happen any match and we need for strikers to be able to rotate them. If any of our strikers gets an injury out for 1-2 month we have two strikers to play all the matches.

4 class strikers was maybe a lot but 3 strikers with a good 4. choice is needed everywhere where they play with 2 strikers every match. If we would be playing with 1 striker then 3 strikers would enough.

Even Nimley would be OK to have him on the bench. Now the next 4 matches we don't have a striker on the bench. But we will have Onuoha, Hargo, Rekik, De Jong, Panti, Zabaleta, Kolarov and AJ, apart from AJ everyone is defensive player.

We surely can get someone on loan if we want. That is not money question.

Fook the cost - just get someone in City. It´s beyond a joke this having to rely on 2 strikers for half the fookin season
Get it sorted

4 games he'll miss. One of which is the League Cup which most City fans aren't bothered with judging by the numbers who turned up.

Be ridiculous and very short sighted to buy just to cover 3 League games

Unfortunately 3 league games where Dzeko is totally out of touch and an injury to Kun will see us well and truly goosed. 2 strikers enough for a title challenge? Sorry disagree completely although I do agree about the CC. Points could well go down the drain this next two weeks or so
Recall Guidetti if need be but do something and no it´s not knee jerk we´ve had this situation most of the season but coz of Hermans antics we´ve been unable to do anything - until now

 

[BringBackSwales]

Striker wise we will be fine. We'd be unlucky for both Dzeko and Aguero to get injured or suspended in the next 4 games. If one of them does, then AJ comes in and we play one up front.

exactly, or Nasri could play up front, or David Silva can push further forward (he has played ok for the world champions in an advanced role), some of the posters on here are drama queens in the extreme

 

[unexpected item]

If we get through Wednesday night without any drama or injuries then we should be OK. As has been said, we have enough attacking options other than just strikers.

The players then havent got a game until next Tuesday and maybe the club will look to ship them off to Abu Dhabi after Weds for some sun and R&R to recharge the batteries.

It is not for 3 games - it is for the rest of the season. If we lost Kun to injury then we would be in trouble regardless of if MArio and Dzeko are available. So for me a loan or suitable purchase for a striker is what we need.

I wold personally go for a loan..............As it loks likely RVP ( due to not signing new contract ) ill leave Arsenal in summer and i have a feeling he is the one Bobby wants.

I said fook the cost in the light of Chavs and FA stories - very wound up and would love us to do it to see their pathetically jealous reaction. Recalling Guidetti would do for me. If we don´t have a recall clause the question should be "why not?". Not inconceivable that the "dirty dippers" will kick Kun off the park. Don´t forget we have to play 2 strikers if we reallistically have any hope of getting to Wembers

Anyone who thinks we don't need another player, particularly astriker or centre back, is dangerously assuming we don't pick up any more red cards or long-term injuries.
They assume that when Vinnie, Yaya and Mario are back they will be available right through to the end of the season.
What if Vinnie or Mario get another red card? Not beyond the realms of possibility. What penalty would they get then? Five, six, eight games?
What if Mario's dodgy ankle goes again? What if, heaven forbid, we get a Vidic-style injury to Vinnie, David, Sergio, Yaya?
It would be daft to throw away the title for the sake of a relatively small sum for a Samba, say — who could probably even be sold in the summer for a profit — to get us over the line. Particularly as Chelsea appear yo be sticking two fingers up at UEFA and FFP

 

[bapi]

There are some good players we can sign on loan like Cerci, Granero or Zarate.

 

[100%blue]

No one have had the thought that we are simply not buying this january?..

Buying for buyings sake is pointless, Mancini and the fans might scream that we "need" to buy to win the league but that´s because we are driven by emotion.
Back in Al-Bateen the ADUG stakeholders will not be that easily swayed.
They want progress of course, but not at all costs, and they will not tie the hands of the new CEO by letting someone else inside the club dictate what must happen.

Who is the new CEO?

Yes but is as you say Silva does get an injury what on earth would signing Samba do to help that?
