hmm "we only need to get rid of 3 strikers" easier said than done that.

Looks quality but who would he replace. Can't see him being happy in the Dzeko role and no chance I would drop any of the other 3. The only player I would put in ahead of them 3 is Messi or Ronaldo and that ain't happening. Got a feeling this season is going to belong to Balo.
He'll have to take his opportunities when he gets them because Tevez and Aguero are likely to start - unless you think we can play 3 up front?GXCity said:Looks quality but who would he replace.

And now with Micah ruled out for the best part of 3 months, it's imperative we sign a CB.

Huh? Where did you see this? What's wrong with him? This is very bad news.

10 weeks is what I've heard. Been on a few news sites.

Man City hit by Richards blow as defender ruled out for 10 weeks
Roberto Mancini received another pre-season blow with news that Micah Richards could be out for up to 10 weeks.
The Manchester City defender picked up an ankle injury playing for Great Britain at the Olympics. The City boss said originally that the right back was likely to be absent for a month.
That estimate has now been revised and Mancini is preparing to be without him for twice as long.
It is not thought Richards will need an operation but that will not be confirmed until after the results of a specialist's examination are known.
The news is a blow to Richards, who is hoping to force his way back into the England set-up.

Thanks guys... not good at all.
Savic/Boyata are not good enough to take his place for such a long time. Kolo maybe...
Micah gets injured far too often, and I'm beginning to suspect he's quite a fragile giant.

I know this is the Falcao thread, but just following the Micah injury news. My feeling is he's carrying too much weight. There aren't too many players with his build in the game. I know he's naturally a big lad, but my guess is he eats a lot of crap too.
Then you must not be watching him play. The reason why Micah gets injured is because he leaves everything on the field. He will fly at anything. Throw himself at any situation. These utter disregard for personal safety ( a great quality for any player to have) leads to more injuries. He plays football like he was an American football Fullback.Phuket Blue said:I know this is the Falcao thread, but just following the Micah injury news. My feeling is he's carrying too much weight.

How many people with his muscle tone eat a lot of crap? Are you a diet consultant of some sort?

i have seen micah on a few of the city videos bragging about how little he hits the gym compared to joleon...says it's all natural. obviously that has to be an exaggeration, but still...he should have more pride and work ethic than that...even though it was said in humour. hope he makes a speedy recovery, we'll need him. although, we have the best backup RB in the league.

You still think Zabaleta is behind Richards, Cleav? I have this debate every day with myself and others. Judging by the last half of the season I just can't see this being the case. I think Richards is a great option and great player. But I think Zabaleta provides the kind of security that Mancini finds priceless.

it's tough to say. i think that micah was definitely first choice when he got injured, but zaba was very impressive during that final stretch. we truly couldn't have done it without him. so, does micah lose his spot when it has nothing to with poor performance on his part? that would be kind of fucked up, but i guess you have to do what's best for the team. zabs is a more reliable defender, but when micah goes bombing up the wing, it's like very few other defenders in the world. basically, it's a good problem to have, because both options are pretty damn good. i think maybe play zabs against the better attacking teams, and micah when they're parking the bus.

Zab man for me ahead of Richards-every time.

I'm one of the few whose gutted we didn't get RVP, but that says more about how much Dzeko doesn't suit our style of play more than us needing RVP.
If we had Falcao in our squad instead of Dzeko right now, RVP would never have been mentioned as a possible signing.
Falcao is immense and he's the player we should be breaking the bank for to replace Dzeko. It's time to cut our losses with the big Bosnian and let's complete our forward-line with Falcao.
