Nasri [Merged] continued.

[citizens_1976]

We will get him. A transfer is very unlikely to drag on all this time to be stopped by agent fees. That would seem absurd. If the deal doesn't go through then my guesses are that Nasri doesn't want the move.

Tbh I'm happy with what we already have, if we get Nasri it's a bonus, but like I said we don't desperately need Nasri. We will challenge for the title regardless.

We'll just have Silva play 60 games then.

We have plenty of midfielders. De Jong, Barry, Milner, Johnson, Toure as well as Balotelli, Dzeko, Tevez and Aguero. We have more than enough firepower and more than enough creators. We need another Ozil/Silva type midfielder and Nasri is not that.

Not tempting fate what happens if he picks up an injury tomorrow? We need another creative player it is as simple as that IMO. :-)

To summarize the Twitter confusion.

- Ladyman says City are confident of the deal going through AFTER the earlier French story. Ladyman cites Ogden as his source.
- But Ogden hasn't tweeted anything about it so maybe he told Ladyman personally or deleted his tweet?
- Despite the above, Ladyman is now responding to questions and said that City's confidence of the deal going through is the latest update he/they have.

Plus we have some quality youth team players with great skill

And do any of those midfielders have the capability of controlling our attacking play in the way Silva does?

De Jong, Barry, Milner and to a lesser extent Johnson would not be able to perform the role silva does ie keep possession, play incisive balls through and generally be the playmaker. If Silva gets injured would you be happy having Milner as our playmaker?

We do indeed. Comparing our squad to United's and Chelsea's we have a lot more flair and creativity in our midfield than they do, whether Silva starts or doesn't.

Seems he (Sneijder) has been left out afterall. Again though, could be anything.
I get the feeling a swap with Tevez is about to happen.

 

[Tarzan41]

Ladyman tweet two hours ago that City are still confident that the deal will go through. He has decent sources at City. Relax everyone.

When Silva doesn't play, we lose the ability to pass a ball properly.
