Same old, same old.

As soon as its known the players is possibly on his way to City, every other club is then suddenly mentioned, taking turns with the press claiming he is on the way to them.

Leaked stories, no doubt from the Arsenal, designed to bump up the fee and nothing else.

Whoever he goes to, I will say the deal was done ages ago between the player and the club and Wenger now just wants as much as possible.

Is van Persie good enough for City? He had a poor Euro 2012, tho' he did score a cracker with his right foot (unbelievably). And do we need another striker? Is he better than what we've got?
I only ask the question.

If we got the striker he was last year then there is absoltely no doubt he would improve the team - he would be an automatic first choice for the big games with Aguero and either Tevez - Dzeko or Ballo would have to be sold with the other two becoming squad players and accepting being rotated.
 
Re: Do we need RVP?

RVP has had ONE GOOD SEASON in the last SIX and everyone is falling over themselves to pick him up from Arsenal! EVERY ONE of City's strikers had a good season and we are falling over ourselves to get rid of two of them!

I simply do not understand it!

City are NOT going to change for RVP and Arsenal's ENTIRE TEAM was set up to feed him.

We need to steer clear and let him go abroad. I hope his Dad is right!

Agree, RVP is gonna be another RSC imo, injury prone, one good season, expensive, reaching 30, and etc..

Looks like we are favourites at 11/10 to sign him with the scum and Juventus at 2/1 behind us at the moment.

I would rather we keep our current forwards unless van Persie comes cheap (which he won't)

We have now drifted to evens from 1/3 two days ago.

Rags now 2/1 second favourites??
Apparently sighted at rags carrington ground, that's the reason for the cut.


Ha ha - someone better get him back from his holiday in the Caribbean then, where he's been for the past fucking week with his family dreaming in the sun.

Back this week and we should all know a lot more on the next move in this game soon enough.

Morning TH, seems that things are starting to gather pace at long last. Is this coincidental to the two weeks after until the party starts clue haha!!
Also, anymore on Edin & Tevez?

Of course we don't need RVP. What we do need, is an additional striker if one of our current ones leaves us.

Any by current we mean the top 4 - not Adebayor and Roque
 
Re: Do we need RVP?

OK, my opinion is that WE DO need RvP, and I'll tell you why.......

Our main dependable goalscorer is Argentinian (Aguero), as is our back-up main striker (Tevez, who although a little out of favour with the Argentinian national set-up could well be called back).

We are then left with two strikers (Balo & Dzeko) who are respectively still growing and not necessarily 'line-leaders'.

Now we have the WC qualifiers coming up, which means that a lot of air miles are gonna be put in by the two strikers who we rely on most for goals (meaning a certain amount of fatigue).

I've no idea just how much of an impact the flight has on performance, but the common perception is that it takes a few days to re-adjust, meaning that we could do with a prolific European striker.

IMO, this puts the needs for RvP above the need for Cavani (who will also be putting in a lot of airmiles as one of Uruguays two starting strikers) as - for the next 2 years - Cavani will be in the same boat as Aguero & Tevez (and any other South American players).

As we know, winning the league is all about consistency, and an untired RvP (or other prolific, gettable European striker - of which there are not many) is essential to this (IMO)........
 
Re: Do we need RVP?

Do we need? Depends what you mean. To retain the Prem? Definitely no. To win the CL?...we probably need him.

Yes, of course. I don't even think of them as City players to be honest as none of them will ever again pull on the City shirt in a competitive game.

How do you know we're actually after this guy? I'm now overseas and haven't been able to stay up to date.

And me, Tevez because of his antics and Dzeko because he doesn't fit even though I'd like to see him succeed.
