Much rather we tried to get the NDJ, Kompany, Kolarov? type signing who are the best players out of 2nd tier clubs rather than people who just come for the money from 1st tier clubs and we (currently) can't guarantee what commitment they will have.
I'd also prefer to see players who have played in leagues with UK type (or worse) weather so they aren't going to get arsey about some driving rain, snow and 0 degrees temperature.
If he comes he may surprise me but we'd have to see.

Alves is the best right back in the world for gods sake.
Some City fans need to chill out and let the club move forward.
As for the weather, DAVID SILVA ANYONE. Im just glad some of our fans are not in conrtrol of our recruitment.

Rubbish.
Maicon gets his game over alves for brazil. They play him in midfield.
Sergio Ramos is well up there too.
Plus the fact that Alves dosnt defend, brilliant going forward but when it comes to actually defending we'd be better off with boateng.
Well they say two's kompany ;)NewbBlue said:Ideally in January, best case scenario.
Out: Bridge (£5), Ade (£12), SWP(£5), RSC (£4), Jo (£5)
In: Coentrao (£20), Ruiz (£7), Dzeko (£35), Cassano (free)
Out: £31 million
In: £62 million
Net: £31 million spent but a massive upgrade
It would be the unquestionably best squad in the PL.
1) Samp is trying to nullify Cassano's contract. Not only would he be free, he's only earning 2.7 million euro per year, a measly 52,000 per week. He'd be replacing RSC and Jo, combined probably earning 170k per week at least.
2) Coentrao might command the same wage as Bridge, though he's earning far less now.
3) Dzeko would command about the same as Ade, though he's earning far less now.
4) Ruiz would command less than the man he's eventually replacing, Lescott.
First XI
-----------------Hart
Richards—Kolo---Kompany---Kolarov
-------------------De Jong--------------------
Yaya------------------------|----Coentrao
Silva--------Dzeko------- Tevez |
Second XI
-----------------Given
Boateng----Ruiz----Kompany----PabZab
------------------Barry------------------------
Vieira---------------------------|-----Milner
Johnson-------Balotelli---------Cassano |
Obviously this isn't exactly as it would go, but you get the idea. 2 super squads.
