Re: txiki, soriano and mancini please take note.

One thing is for sure, with all the action going on around us, we simply cannot stand still.

Next season is going to be much tougher, and much more competitive for sure.

I agree.
Not usually one for over reacting, but I get the sense we're begin left behind, and the market hasn't even opened up yet.

This what I'm saying, we need to act NOW and with the right players, players that will improve us not weaken us.

I'm sure this spate of early deals will have been common knowledge to the "top brass" at City for some time - so no need to panic. We will have targets and we will be working on them. I'm not too bothered about Falcao just yet. The worlds media had Ronaldinho nailed on to United for months a few years back but our Spanish duo took him to Barca just when United thought they had him in the bag. Chelsea have a Champions League berth to secure before they get the cheque book out again.

I fear bringing players in wont be a problem - shifting our under performing stars on sky high wages will be the real challenge!

Maybe that's what were doing first?

Sorting deals for players to leave on the first possible day so we know what we can spend, what positions to spend it on and so on.

Because that has worked so well previously...

 

[VOOMER]

it will be players in, then loans, or selling on. Last seasons fiasco was built on the lets sell first idea.

and that was our undoing.

 

[larderland]

if we do the sell now buy later tactic we might Aswell congratulate united on winning the league next year because they'll only improve so its up to us to make the best signings asap to get our trophy back

wasn't that highly paid bloke we recruited from Blackburn doing that, 2 frigging years ago?

 

[MihaiCity]

after i see dortmund tonight i'm more and more convinced that we need to spend big in the summer if we want to compete in the CL....thing like he will cost to much or we need to compete with FFp etc...just FUCK OFF the ffp and the bastard who is platini..first of all we neeed to get players in the midfield to make that much more mobile and who can pass the ball much quick to the players up front

for me out:
RSC-free
Bridge-free
kolo-free
lescott-8m
kolarov-8m
barry-5m
sinclair-6m
nasri-20m
dzeko-20m
mario-20m(already gone)
and some players from academy( 4m for them)
a total of 87m

in:
rekik-promoted
papadoupoulos-15m
digne/shaw-10m
gundogan/fernandinho-25m
benat-12m
maher-15m
guidetti-promoted
cavani-45m
bale-45m

a total of 157m so will be a net spend of 90m

and if get to 4-3-3 from next sdeason

hart
zabba-kompany-nasty-clichy

silva-yaya-gundogan/fernandinho

aguero-cavani-bale


and the second team: pantilimon

richards-rekik-papa-digne/shaw

milner-garcia/rodwell-benat

tevez-guidetti-maher

In order to COMPETE in the UCL, We MUST comply with the FFP rules ! right now UEFA is currently under the administration of a dictator and that's not going to change anytime soon. As for your list , I don't see Barry or Nasri leaving Unless we get either one of Reus, Isco or Draxler ( Nasri is light years ahead of Maher so i don't see why we need this maher guy ) , We would probably bring in a replacement for Kolo/Lescott (Hopefully Sakho or Papadopolous) and then we would probably bring in a cheap yet effective midfielder , someone like Benat or Paulinho . We could also scale the FFP hurdle by signing an Asian star , We could raise some good amount of money from the shirt sales of an Asian star player like Keisuke Honda plus he would be a valuable addition to the midfield . You also suggested that we sell the EDS boys for 4million , Do you really think we could sell anyone in the academy for 4million ? Last time i checked Westbrom got Odemwingie for 2m, Newcastle got Sissokho for 2m and Swansea got Michu for 2m. I don't think anyone in the academy can be compared to any of these players.

what i want to said is that we may get 4M for all the EDS players we will sell not from one of them FFS

THIS.
We need a more no nonsens attitude to show we mean business. last transfer was a disaster and can never be repeated we really lost a year there.
