Re: David Villa Done Deal!

Where has he said he has agreed high profile targets?

I just get the feeling after the Robinho comment, basically admitting he was a showpiece signing from our owners that Hughes isnt in the market for 'superstars.'

His level is Santa Cruz, we all know that is who he wants.

If you havent heard hughes on numerous occasions state that they are looking at the best players in there positions to take the club forward in the positions that we need then you are only hearing what fits with your agenda ? Hughes has made it clear that we are in the market for players, he has made it clear of what caliber those players need to be and he has stated that the speculation is ludicrous at the moment which I agree with. All he is stating is that he will do his talking when the deal is done and for you to decide that you know who it is and who it isnt based on your own perception of Hughes is both arrogant and misinformed.
Personally I have no idea who we may or may not sign in Jan but I wont be looking to belittle a manager over the possible signing of one of europes recognised star performers should it happen I'll leave that to the rags.

Agreed. Maybe we'll actually play with SWP on the wing when we have a striker who can head the ball.

RSC would be a good signing imo.

Believe me I want Hughes to prove me wrong. I believe he has his list of targets to strengthen the spine of the team. I don't believe they are world class players but proven premier league players, which is correct. we need to steady and balance the team.

I just think the ambitions lye with our owners, they will be the ones who, imo will bring in the superstars. Hughes has distanced himself form the superstar links in the past few days. He did say that Robinho was a signing for that moment in time. Which suggests he wasn't his signing. I am not saying he wont accept these players, but they will not be his signings.

I think Santa Cruz is a decent player and with the right partner could be a great fit, but even though I think they could complement each other well I think that I would prefer Villa or Aguero if I were only getting the one. I could still see RSC ending up at Chelsea yet ?

Re: David Villa Done Deal!

dont shoot me down now! Wait til the window opens!

I have no links or shit like that my old man is in madrid and he has phoned me and he said its done so that is enough 4 me.

Is that the same "done deal" as my Croissant and pecan Danish 100% done deal ?

With respect mate, this is absolute nonesense. Hughes himself has said on many occasions that he wants to bring the best possible players to City. He also knows that it's not easy.

The squad needs strenghthening. Obviously it will be a lot easier to tie up a deal for Diarra than Kaka. Therefore Hughes/Cook will tie up the deals they can quick as possible & also try to bring in the superstars if & when they can.

Telling every fker in the world you're trying to sign David Villa is not the way to do business.

Re: David Villa Done Deal!

Be surprised at having such an early announcement, although his club may give their blessing I suppose. What with all their financial problems.

an early announcement would be a god send for us as it could make other negotiations so much easier

Especially if we are after more big name signings

real madrid were also interested in david villa so them signing huntelaar instead means one of only two things.
1. villa isnt for sale no matter what
or
2. madrid have been priced out by someone else and that could only be us

lets hope its number 2

I see what you did there a bit of the old reverse psychology, hmmm.

Re: David Villa Done Deal!

Spanish football pundit said deal for David Villa will involve Jo going the opposite way plus 50 million euros. Whats that in Sterling? This is unreal first Robinho now Villa!!!! We should change our name to MancheStars City.

Where did you hear this?

3. They don't need him now they have Huntelaar.

but why would they buy huntelaar if villa was attainable?
they have always expressed an interest in villa and so to buy huntelaar would mean either one of the two reasons

Huntelaar was much cheaper than Villa will cost if he moves, maybe Real Madrid really don't want to be paying upwards of 40mil on a striker nowadays?

True - maybe they just decided they'd go for Huntelaar because he was cheaper. You're probably right though i think we outbid then ;)
