Skrtel

if this is true then something has gone wrong. Against top euro teams we need more than just an enforcer (thug) we need the best available. Which excludes cloggers like skrtel
 
Would put pressure on Joleon for his place next season. A good player, but not a ball player. If you look at Vinnie he's a good passer and can run with the ball, whereas Skrtel can't really do either. I do rate him though.
 
There is absolutely no indication that this transfer is even in the pipe line

Dont see why people are getting excited by it
 
And in the Mail

We can only buy those players that are available - he is a decent centre half amd will do a decent job if true - Bobby cannot fook around with a younger less experienced lad after the purchase of Savic - all this he is a thug shit sometimes just sometimes you need someone whom can out there foot through the ball -

RAWK reporting a 20 million bid gone in - probably bolloxs but i think that there is something in this
 
One of the best centre halves in the league, in a position where we are weak beyond the main two. This could be a good move if it's true.

No chance if Mancini is looking at bringing in another centre half he aint going to have two inexperienced and some would say limited centre half as back up. Sure bring Boyotta back but him and Savic as back up to Vinny & Jolean - not a chance in hell - there is too much of a fine line between success and failure

New centre half and rotate Savic and or Boyotta with the others for cups game and see how they perform

Personally i think Boyotta will not play many more games for City
 
20 million for a centre-back that's going to play second fiddle? No thanks, up to £12 million would be a good deal though

Great move,a no nonsense,proven centre half who is entering his prime and who will challenge Lescott.
 
Liverpool have already inquired about Howedes so they could be preparing to lose Skrtel.

We all know about swap deals and how rare they are but if Liverpool's interest in Johnson is genuine and we are willing to let him go, couldn't we work him into the deal?
 
Yes I'm back, the LFC fan.

I am disappointed about these Skrtel rumours. He was clearly our best player last season and you never want to lose your best players.

I think he would definately oust Lescott in your team and the good think about Skrtel is he rarely gets injured.

He is good on the ball, good in the air and is mobile for a big guy.

I think only Kompany was better than Skrtel last season in the league. Having said all that I'd rather we lost Skrtel than Agger, as you can't find many centre halfs as good on the ball as Agger is and when Agger is fit we are usually a much better team!
 
I feel like I've entered an alternate reality - £20m for Skrtel is good business, are you insane???? This price has got to be a wind-up..............

If he was home-grown or English then maybe, just maybe, that would be OK. Cahill (Ok, last year of his contract) was only £7m and I rate him above that thug. There has got to be any number of CBs we could get for £10-12m that would be as good or better than Skrtel if we look abroad.

Thats Liverpool spin. I would think half the much would get him. They are used to be taken to the cleaners for Downing, and Carrol.

Can he fillin at LB or RB? I think Koloarov might go, so that might help our depth since Zaba can play either left or right so it would easy to have him fillin with help of another.

We wouldn't sell him for less than £20 million, actually I think we will be looking for what you paid for Lescott at minimum, as he is better than him or just as good at worst.

No he can't play right or left back. He is very much a centre back. We played him at right back once vs Boro, it didn't work out well.
