Lol, he doesn't fancy the current league champions, where some of his pals already play. No he fancies going to the runners up, who are in a comical amount of debt to play for a manager who is a funny turn away from retiring. At least he'll earn more and win more at United.

Congratulations to the Mirror though. They've managed to go even further down in my estimation. A truly remarkable feat.
The writer of this john cross has just been on talkshite backing it up..
As good as said marwood and mancini were at each others throats..
He also said he is fairly sure he doesnt fancy city and wants utd..

In six years we've gone from this:

Keep the faith

I don't know why anyone is flapping at this stage of the summer.
Surely the people making the decisions at the club have earned a bit of trust from supporters.
Personally I'd be OK with no major signings, we'd still have one of the best squads in the clubs history and we'd still have a good chance of winning any competition we're a part of. but I'm sure the signings will come, we do have another six weeks to go.

Just heard that on ssn. the sky italia pundit telling andy burton that he (yes he, a fucking no mark italian journo) "understands" (has he spoke to him? has he fuck) that Van Persie has said "he wants to join a club with history". ha ha- blackburn rovers? arsenal has history, what they dont have is potential to win stuff and cash.Super David Silva 21 said:

Time to draw up the drawbridge, man the battlements it seems the press have already declared war on us this year without having kicked a ball in anger. They are really desperate to see us fail, they certainly don't want us to retain the prem league trophy but would like to see their good old bum chum Fergie win it so, he can retire at the top of the game and they can blow smoke up his arse for the next decade.
For all the flappers and worriers on here there is an old saying that he who laughs last laughs longest. I have to say I am puzzled like the rest of people on here at the lack of transfer activity, we seem to have drawn in our horns and in some respects are peddling a very frugal way of dealing. Haven't seen a restriction such as must sell before we can spend since the takeover. Many will lay that at the door of FFPR and become frustrated that oher clubs seem to be ignoring spending limits. Even more frustration because the rags seem to be dominating the headlines with so called interest in players and I have to be frank the Brazillian kid look like a good investment even though overpriced.
It also seems to me we are getting bound up with some sentimentality over certain players I agree it does hurt when so called warriors or players who have contributed to the sucess we have had over the last couple of seasons seem to be on there way out.
I am not sure whether I have any answers or know anything other than what has been stated on here. If there are tensions between Mancini and Marwood and if memory serves me right we had similar tensions last year I cannot see that a Manager who only a few days ago having signed a five year contract with the club wopuld now be thinking of walking away because someone hasn't bid high enough for a player he regards as pivotal to taking us to another level.
In a game of chess the plan is to defeat your opponent through obtaining checkmate, sometimes you have to sacrifice pieces in order to gain an advantage and almost certainly you never look at the next move but have risk assessed and calculated the next five or six moves in advance. I am content at the moment to believe everyone at City knows what they are doing and over the coming weeks those moves will become evident enabling the missing pieces in our squad to be obtained and check mate against our opponents sealed next May.
If all else fails and we have to go into next season as we did last
1) We only failed to get out of the group stages on goal difference
2) We won the league on goal difference with a very high points total.
3) The rags were our only rivals at the end, other opponents trailing by 20+ points. We only play Chelsea twice and last season through good fortune they took three points off us anyway at their place.I would hope only gaining one point against the rags would have them wanting to take points off them as well.
4) We got to the semi final of the Carling Cup
5) We were knocked out in 3rd round of FA cup by the rags but after the ref assisted them by reducing us to 10 men and even so we nearly forced an equaliser.
The transfer window closes two weeks after the season starts, but the real pressure of the league doesn't start until Sept/Oct when the cups and CL kicks in. During August even if we don't sign one player by kick off there are going to be three internationals sitting in the stands who can't even get a game or warm the so called bench.
As for me I am content to leave it in Mancinis hands he hasn't done too bad a job so far. I only care about our club and am prepared to have the last laugh.

We could have done sorry to mislead, but normally speaking in how many CL groups where any team getting 10 points would normally have qualified. Maybe splitting hairs but it was pretty close to getting out of the group stages if you know what I mean. :-)

To improve the team, we need a top class winger and someone to replace an ageing Barry and RVP to replace Dzeko.dctid said:

18m for Young was good business compared to how we used to get taken for cunts, same with that twat from Blackburn.

Wrong sort though, we bought our sucess not organiclally grown over centuries like that there team Juventus (who took their shirts from Notts County) and certainly we don't have history of rigging matches. If it is the rag sort (yawn), or red dippers (yawn).

He's kind like that.
