It's not so likely we are going to try & sort out every problem in this transfer window, I don't think. Buying defenders & def mids is boring & is a hit & miss affair. We had a go last season & the results so far are not yet convincing, same as when we tried with Nastasic & Javi Garcia & Rodwell etc. Last season was an attempt at a boring, functional transfer window. If the right bloke becomes available, we may have a go, but it's not a priority.

This one, imo, we are trying to bring in top players to inspire the team & give us a boost. Not any Tom Dick or Harry to play 10% better than Kolarov or Clichy. We are after certain particular players who are difficult to get. We've got one, & we are trying for others. If we get another one or two, then the boring functional stuff may be the top priority next window.

But our defence last season was awful as well neville? I know we all want the razzmatazz players but i genuinely fear for our season if the defence doesn't get upgraded asap! We have in silva, sterling, aguero and hopefully de bruyne all the flair we need but without hart being amazing last season we would have been pummelled in quite a few games!
 
Just to get our homegrown numbers up, what a state we've got ourselves into re that. It's the People anyway with no quotes whatsoever so bullshit.

If it's true it isn't to get our h/g numbers up as they are at a maximum of 4 anyway and to have him in the squad would be at the expense of an overseas player, would including Iheanacho. Again big if but if true I could see it being a replacement for Navas.

Not really fair that mate as what he said is actually pretty much on the money! After our chairman's bravado statement we have still not addressed the important areas that
needed sorting? Yesterday's performance at the back has caused great concern as it'll be the defence that starts our premier league season by the looks of it! Sterling looks immense but with a week to go we have gone nowhere or even backwards with the pogba deal, havent even bid on de bruyne and are exceedingly shit at left back still! Txiki we are told is the best in the business but jury still out imo.

Patience! 35 years in the wilderness and look where we have been in the last 5.

Sterling is quality and created 2 goals out of nothing yesterday even when the team was struggling.

From what others have said it would be pointless bidding for De Bruyne until we have space for the overseas players in the squad. I have not checked but it makes sense.

The team looked very rusty, but I think we will be the strongest squad by some distance.

Berahino is a top quality player. I can not understand why he is not rated. Look at his record

I've not paid any attention to West Brom and their players

Is he any good?

solid young player but I would say a level below what we need.....I think this would look like a desperate move to add HG numbers to the squad....He would be 4th striker so wouldnt get much playing time but I think many would question the move with the needs we have elsewhere in the squad....

I think if a boring type manager took over at City, the defence would be fine within a month.

But the problem imo, is that real football is entirely different to the fantasy land many on here live in. We read about the various fantastic cbs & fbs available every season, then we look at the teams who are winning stuff & what do we see ? Ramos & Pepe at real Madrid. Piquet & Mascherano, a dm playing cb at Barca. John fucking Terry playing at Chelsea.

Did anyone see Barca's defence v Chelsea the other night, when they played their two 2nd string cbs ? It was absolutely as bad as City yesterday. At the other end, Zouma looked like Nedem Onuoha on acid, blundering around like a bull in a fucking china shop. Who do Utd want to solve their problems ? Fucking Ramos! Not any of hese other wonderful cbs we are being told will fix our problem, they want Ramos. Most of these clubs would snap our hands off if we made Kompany available. They will think they can fix him.

It's time our manager, managed imo. We've got 4 cbs most clubs could make a defence from. We have 4 (on last season's showing) very average fullbacks, but again, we should be able to make a back 4. They are a fucking mess as a unit. Sort it out. Never mind spending.

I want to see inspirational attackers.

Not convinced by this lad though.
