i want to agree with this but if this were the case i think mr cook may have leaked stuff to the press ie were looking at other avenues as well as eto'o or eto'o isn't our only option etc etc, but to put it up on the OS states to me that this is over (hope im wrong) surely if we went back on this mr cook would loook silly by placing such a statement on the OSmancity25 said:Maybe Cook is forcing Barcelona's hand.

With regard to us making a quick signing so we can all not be upset by our red friends forget it. Hughes has said time and again we won't buy players for the sake of it
With Robbie RSC and hopefully Tevez likely to be front three is it a bad thing we didn't get him?
I believe if we buy another hes more likely to be a quick physical player rather than another racy shortarse (a la bellamy, swp, bojinov, tevez, robinho)
Only one i can think of is Hutelaar....
Huntelaar is slow as molasses

I didn't see your original reply to Shooter 83 before I posted, so when you put it like that then sure it makes sense.

hmmm how would he look silly? He would be a deal making god to get eto'o here. The press would say that the statement made last night was a stroke of genious.

gutted that we have pulled out and i think its a mistake to do so.....we havent pulled out of the tevez deal so why wait for one player and not for the other.
it will prove an even bigger mistake when someone else snaps him up (which i could see someone doing right at the end of htis transfer window)
as for plan b......
well i hope we have one as the strikers we have are not going to get us anywhere near the top 6
Rsc....good but injury prone and.........also not even in the same league as eto'o
boj.....good but plays as a second striker
bellamy......plays as a second striker and injury prone (more than rsc)
the rest you can forget....they simply are not good enough and never will be
even with tevez.....(if we get him).......he is similar to boj and bellamy in style of play.......
so the problem still remains. We need an out and out striker in the style of eto'o........but who realistically is there that is left to go for and i can only think of one player and that is fabiano.......but could we be too late on this one
as for ibrahimovic.....NO NO NO....would prove a huge flop in the prem......just too tough for him...he would sped most of his time on his backside complainging about the treatment he was receiving from defenders
villa....never going to come as wants to stay in spain
huntalaar....so slow he would really really struggle in the prem as well......would fair no better than bianchi did
we have a huge problem now but luckily we have time to sort it out.........but there are only limited options. That is why i think it would have been prudent to persue more that one target at a time and even if we are getting messed around slightly by eto'o (and his agent) we shold still maintain an interest and see what happens......he is good enough ot take us to the next level........not many other forwards (and certainly the ones we have right now) arent

Firstly I just want to say that pulling the plug here was an excellent move by City, gives us a lot of respect as people's been saying!
But don't worry, there are other world-class players we can pursue!
LuÃs Fabiano - Robbie and Elano help us out with this one?
Zlatan Imbrahimovic - I rate him as top 3 in the world, not very realistic target but oh well...
Sergio Agüero - Biggest talent in the world apart from Messi at the moment, dare I say? Zab can put in a good word or five!
Edin Dzeko - Amazing talent, but supposedly he's signed a new contract and been promised a move next year with a £20m minimum release fee...
Diego Forlán - Aguero's partner in crime has shown quality for many years now, does seem a bit inconsisted perhaps.
Grafite - People forget he had an amazing season as well with Wolfsburg...
Bafétimbi Gomis - Two/three fantastic season with a relative weak Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1.
André-Pierre Gignac - Possibly the new Henry, even been called up to the French national team now. Serious class act!
Giuseppe Rossi - I know certain people has a problem with him because he was a youth player at the Rags, but to those I have a simple question: have you seen this kid play recently? He's fucking amazing! And he might bare a grudge against Bacon Face so perhaps he'd like to join us...
