Re: Marquee Signing before Southampton
Sorry mate can't agree with Savic today, thought he was caught out positionally a few times and made a few sloppy passes and looks to lose concentration. He'll do ok for a mid-table side but we have the potential to dominate English football for the next ten years and really become one of the best teams in Europe. Doing ok these days unfortunately isn't good enough, all our players need to be on their game at all times. We have raised the bar not just to other teams but to ourselves.

We look very strong to me. I'd be very happy to go with what we have
I think Kolo is a good enough back up but not sure Mancini agrees, and I wasn't impressed with Savic again today so on that basis we need a centre half. Richards could fill in but he does appear to be picking up injuries on a regular basis. Rodwell fills a gap in midfield for now and so that only leaves upfront. I'd be happy to let Edin have until Christmas to see if he can be more consistent but his problem is breaking apart Aguero and Tevez.
I agree Richards can't seem to play 2-3 games without getting an injury. Throws himself into some dangerous situations and gets hurt. Hope he's back soon. I like him best at right back even though Zabaleta has improved a lot

Taken on board, but it's asking a lot for a young player to become the finished product overnight.

Re: Marquee Signing before Southampton
The problem though is we can't rely on Savic to come in if we have injuries/suspensions.
It will be a long hard season and we need better IMO.
Agger would be a great signing.

Re: Marquee Signing before Southampton
Fair comment about he needs games to sharpen up and hopefully he can step up to the plate. His problem is that playing at centre half he cannot afford too many mistakes. We do need to integrate youngsters and I would hope as the team become even more confident of their own ability then it will become an easier task to accomadate.
