EalingBlue2 said:If we sign tevez then we have
Petrov or Robbie left
Elano or sweep right
Boj or cruz target man
Tevez or Bellamy pacy forward
That is 8 decent internationals cover in any position and good enough for top 4 as it is.

Such a loser attitude that we should not try in case we fail and such thin skinned people do not have the character, heart or passion to be true blues and need to get a grip.
We are trying to do a deal for one of the best players in the world and have played hard ball we should be feckin proud of city!
And if you are too precious and soft to handle a bit of press or other fan ridicule then don't bother to get up in the morning as you are too soft for real life.
What I don't get are the posters criticising Cookie for having the ambition and aiming high, and then also have the opinion that we should be knocking everyone over easily next season and winning the league.LCBblue said:Exactly, it shows ambition that we are trying to sign these players.
well said,,we need to add something els to the way we think,,he has missed out on a good pay day,but there is something as big if not bigger.THE PROJECT.I can;t see what would give a player a bigger kick than winning a trophy at a club that has great support and has won naff all for 33 years other than their own boyhood club..How going to milan,barca,rags,chelski etc and winning something gives a great sense of achievment is beyond me when they can do the project instead..squirtyflower said:We are far from a laughing stock. We went for one of the best players in the world and told him to do one because he has tried to leave us dangling on the end of a line. It's about time we developed some balls and stand up to players/clubs/agents who want to try and play us for fools.
I would have loved Eto'o here, but at the end of the day it is his loss as he will not get that kind of pay anywhere in the world at his age.

when was the last time a club treats a prolific player with such authority? eto'o must have had a lump in his throat.
we . mean . business .
