We need 2 playmakers to supplement the squad. We rely far to heavily on Silva to create the end product, and often struggle to create when he is off the pitch.
Easybeatz said:Nasri would be a good signing, but i think Mata is a better fit tbh as he's more of a natural wideman, and he already he has good chemistry with Silva. I'm not saying that Nasri wouldn't be a good signing, but its just my two cents.

Dont panic!

Is he all that good really? will he add so much more to our side than other cheaper options say a goetze,mata,hazard etc..? He has prem experience alright, but why cant we get (one of)those and make him a winner like silva,kompany,NDJ,zaba? They were all good in other leagues and now successful in prem league. I have a feeling that these players are more loyal to city than "proven" players like bellamy,Ade or even tevez(sorry to say so)
Arsenal announces today that they have reached an agreement in principle with Barcelona for Cesc Fabregas to move to Spain.
It signals the end of the midfielder's eight-year spell at Arsenal. Fabregas joined the Club from Barcelona as a 16-year-old in September 2003 and made 303 appearances, scoring 57 goals in all competitions.
He holds the records for the youngest Arsenal first team player (16 years and 177 days v Rotherham United (h), 28 October 2003) and the youngest Arsenal first team goalscorer (16 years and 212 days v Wolves (h), 2 December, 2003).
Named as Arsenal Captain in November 2008, Fabregas also became a regular in the Spain national team, making 58 appearances to date.
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: "We have been clear that we didn't want Cesc to leave and that remains the case. However, we understand Cesc's desire to move to his home town club and have now accepted an offer from Barcelona. We thank Cesc for his contribution at Arsenal and wish him future success."
The transfer is subject to the completion of formal legal agreements and registration processes, together with Fabregas agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
