Our new attacking midfielder for the summer

[BlueCityfan]

Sahin is a real talent but would he suit the Prem? He looks pretty tiny...and for Mancini to even consider signing him..... He should have pretty good defensive skills too.

Im not sure if he is very good defensivly?

 

[Blue Elmo]

i actually think we need a central att mid......... there is a big difference between an att mid and central att mid................

we need some one to replace barry..........
a much more creative cm............

and there arent much available these days.............

i think montolivo would be a good and available choice.....................

he will be world class within next couple of years.........

There is not doubt in my mind, that the perfect replacement for Barry is Nuri Sahin. It is so perfect because they play the exact same position. In the exact same way, both using the exact same foot predominantly (the left). With the only 2 significant differences being
1. Sahin is 8 years younger
2. Sahin is the absolute best in the world at that position this year.

I cannot imagine a more perfect replacement.

Here is a video of Sahin. Notice where on the field he is operating in. It is erie. The exact area you will often find Barry for City.

In addition Sahin also fixes a bunchof our little problems that hold us back but we don't realize.
1. He has deeplying vision (The video will show this)
2. He can cross the ball accurated 98% of the time. The video shows examples, but watching Dortmund proves it.
3. He can take those indirect free kicks and put them dangerously in the box.
4. He can take direct freekicks too. But I bet Kola would probably still fight for that...Cool. But he gets #3 and every 3rd direct kick :)
5. He is fast-er :P than Barry. Video shows him running down Farfan. Now Barry couldn't do that on jet skies
6. He is immesely skilled. Well video shows some sick moves.

In short, i Barry is the problem (a diagnosis I don't necessarily agree with) Sahin is the Solution+

Montolivo will be nice, by the way he is 26 already! But Sahin will be replacement perfection!!!

That video shows what a good player he is . I have seen glimpses of him and have been impressed but that video shows every side to his game and he looks a quality central midfield player and if could play in our midfield , not only would we have some pace in there , but some creativity aswell and someone who looks like they have fantastic delivery into the box. But speaking about him and signing him are two different things , but if we signed this lad I would be over the moon as he seems top of the range and just what could solve the problems with pace and urgency in the team.

Sahin looks terrific! never heard of him before to be honest.
Does he do the kind of defensive work that Barry does?

Yes he does. He is the creative side of a 2 man defensive midfield partnership with Lars Bender.

I agree. I don't think we can or will. One, he'd cost a pretty penny, and two, I doubt Dortmund wants to sell any of there players. They have a starting 11 of all 22 yearolds and younger (except for the Goalie and Striker)/ ANd they are topping the league and running away with it. They have the potential to become the next Barcelona, or the next Ajax dynasty. Why change that.
But yet I Just believe these guy would have been perfect and hoping the front office can work something out :(

sahin isnt good defensively.......... he wont work well in mancinis tactics......... and he wont be available this summer........ montolivo is available and talented..... reaching his peak..... he can do the job and make us a pl winning team.....

 

[Dax777]

Sahin isnt good defensively..........

Not necessarily true. He is as good as Barry. Who is pretty decent

he wont work well in mancinis tactics.........

Ofcourse he will. He'll be a deep lying midfielder. Just like Barry, but with better vision

and he wont be available this summer........

You might have a point there

Montolivo is available and talented.....

Talented? Yes! Available? No more so than Sahin. He is the captain of Fiorentina you know!

Reaching his peak.....

More reason why they wouldn't want to give him up, right?

] he can do the job and make us a pl winning team.....

So can Sahin. But I would be equally ecstatic at getting Montolivo. However, you do know he is Barry slow, right?

That Said, if I were to consider players from Fiorentina, i'd be looking at Stevan Jovetic and Adem Ljajic. Those are the 2 stars they really have. Montolivo is nice. But he will be a distant 3rd for me.
In my opinion, ad go 1. Jovetic 2. Ljajic 3. Montelivo.

Jovetic and Ljajic are bound to be stars. Montelivo is quality though.

 

[Tevez City]

We have Milner to replace Barry, so no need for Sahin ! Just give the lad a chance to play in his favorite position.

 

[Dax777]

Milmer it is then :( Can we get Jovetic though :) He'd be a hit with Silva.

he is available mate. his contract is up...but i think inter are going for him........
trhere had been reports inter wanting montolivo.......
jovetic would be a risk after that horrondous injury..........
ljajic is young and talented... but he wont be available.........
i hope mancini can lure montolivo with his italian connection......
its more than possible than getting sahin from dortmund.........

sahin cant play as a deep lying mid.. it will be the same effect as that of wilshere playing for england in that position.........

and he is not anywhere near as good as barry defencively...... atleast to my eyes.....



and mancinis tactics dont need a deep lying playmaker...... de jong is the deep guy.. just needs a creative mid along side him who can do good defending as well...........

 

[dannyboy29]

with the german league being so poor it can't be long before sweinsteiger (not sure on the spelling) wants to move.

also there is Hamsik, not seen much of him myself but hes had some rave reviews.

 

[BlueCityfan]

Knowing Mancini....he will sign atleast 1 player from Serie A. Kolarov, Balotelli, Viera.

I think Mancini is extremly intrested in bringing players from there.
