yes we all the love the big names,like messi kaka and eto,however we have to be more realistic,these players will not come to City this summer,City are still work in progress and we need to build slowly ,we do not need a boom and bust culture,what we need now is players that will bring us balance,we need 2 big centre forwards of real quality,one of our big down falls this season is when the ball is played forward it comes back to easily putting our defence under pressure we have conceded far 2 many goals.2 centre forwards u ask yes coz if one gets injured we are back to square one.Santa Cruz and Diego Milito are as good as any at doing this job with their back to goal and have decent goalscoring records!Our fullbacks get exposed far to often especially the left back,so i would be looking at bringing in two naturally left sided midfielders,Gareth Barry and Stuart Downing would do the trick.
All top sides have great attacking fullbacks you only have to look at the likes of Cole,Evra,Clichy and Boswinga they play like wingers at home,Glenn Johnson would be a great buy.
We have conceded to many soft goals and from set pieces,we need a Centre half that heads for fun,u might slaughter me for this but Sami Hyypia on a free would be a 1 season wonder and take City to the next level.
So to summerize(sp),my summer business would be
SANTA CRUZ
MILITO
BARRY
DOWNING
GLENN JOHNSON
HYYPIA
