Whilst I agree it is a HUGE gamble to go into a season with only 2 experienced strikers. If Aguero gets injured on the first game of the season (again) then we are left with Dzeko and some youth who may or may not be any good in the PL. We definitely need at least one more.proudbear said:My guess is that Guidetti, Lopes, Suarez and some english player will be promoted, with Pozo promoted next year. Theyre seriously looking like the next Silva, Ibra etc. and with Pelligrini they could reach their potential.
Mr HJ said:Ok So its my first post in what four years so I apologise for being one of those guys who follows bluemoon without posting. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the banter or indeed am not a fully committed fan. Yes I am a ST holder and as I get older my love for the blue shirted heroes grows.
So on point - We have seen some major changes at the club and I for one agree with most of them. The policy of blowing everyone out of the water was/is not sustainable and the club knows this. I had the privilege of meeting Ferran and Vicky Kloss last week when they visited my coffee shop at the airport. They came across much better than I expected, both fully committed to their rolls and quite engaging. They were quite candid in what they said but we are about to sign two more players and will look to find the perfect fit. I presume they mean players with pace which is what they implied MP has requested. VK also made me laugh about the clubs thoughts on Danny Mills and she also told me that in the clubs office they have bluemoon constantly up to follow what is being discussed! I found that quite interesting - if the Isco thread is anything to go by they like us all must appreciate the level of humour of (in my opinion) the best and funniest fans around. She wouldn't say if anyone from the club is actually posting but as I said she seems to care about the fans perception of the club which is nice.
I believe the club has finally got a clear plan going forward in terms of player development and whilst I am gutted that Isco chose RM over us we now have a manager who will nurture someone like a Dennis Suarez (if not him another young prospect) and make them into the next ISCO. Won't it be a refreshing change for us to be in a position of developing young players whose market value actually increases? Last year I found myself kind of going through the motions - "Hey we scored" yet now I find the excitement back and I can't wait for the start of the season. So enjoy the coming weeks, we will replace Tevez and for once can look forward to some younger players breaking through.

No to Torres. We just got rid of the guy with big payroll. We don't need another one. .Pollerz said:Targets I would suggest are attainable..
Fernando torres.. performed well in europe last year and underrated atm but getting back to where he used to be
David Villa... for me should be our number one target on the back of tevez departure.
Alexis sanchez.. not settled at barca .. you dont become a bad player over night.
Kaka... signed isco and have far too many midfielders. We are under a different regime then the last cockup so that shouldn't stand in the way.
Hangalaand .. not long past this fella was all the buzz. Would be great squad player.
