As awesome as the second one would be it does not look good at the moment :/

Nasri-----------------Tevez-----------------Silva
----------------------Balotelli----------------------

This one for me, but with Dzeko up top instead of Mario.

YES! Well, that's that sorted then. What a team! Does the Manager know this is sorted out for him?

YES! Well, that's that sorted then. What a team! Does the Manager know this is sorted out for him?

If by that you mean how much of a versatile squad we'll have, then yes I'm sure he does. There can be so many different ways we can line up and play with the right players, that it's not even funny.

For example, Carling Cup lineup:

Zabaleta-----Vinny-----Boyata-----Clichy
--------------De Jong-----Milner------------
Johnson-----------Nasri-------------Kolarov
--------------------Dzeko---------------------

This is just an example of course. Silva, Tevez, Yaya, rested. Kolarov and Clichy swapping on the wings. And still this team packs a punch!

With the right players we have something to meet any team. That's definitely on Mancini's mind.

Never quite seen a team take 3 starters from a top 4 club and plug them into their lineup. Insanity at its best. I honestly feel a bit a pessimistic. I'm just not sure if anyone is going to move whatsoever being that the first signing trickles throughout Europe.

If Arsenal sign Mata or Gervinho, they automatically lose Nasri.
If Barca buy Fabregas, they can't buy Sanchez. (Despite what the journos would tell you)
If City buy Aguero, they risk Tevez.
If the rags buy Sneijder, they bankrupt.

Not to mention how the valuations of of player will affect the rest of the window. Not a single club Europe knows how much their footballers are worth and won't until a big name player is sold.

Interesting but I can't bring myself to believe this is right. I think Nasri could stay and Gervinho arrive, I think Barca could sign both Sanchez and Fabregas, Aguerro is Tevez' mate so they could both be here and the dark side are capable of anything. What are the odds on that do you think? 1000 /1

--------------------------Hart-------------------------

----------------------DeJong-----------------------
---Sneider (or-Nasri)------Yaya--------------
----------Silva----------------------Mata---------
-------------------------Tevez----------------------

Can't see both Sneider & Nasri Coming
in but I do fancy us to have bought one
or the other (plus Mata) in time for the
start of next season.- no Clichy please!!
