Re: The Official Transfer Update Thread - Update: 15:07 (13/10)
I know Yaya Toure is a top quality player and being linked for such a long time as we have with him is showing the club is going forward, but do we really need him? As another poster has pointed out in this topic, a majority of city fans still see johnson as having a big future, we have nigel de jong and gareth barry who are superb players and deserve starting 11 and then obviously stevie ireland needs to start when fit in my opinion. so why another centre midfielder and another defensive one at that when there is kompany, zab, de jong and barry who all fit into a similar mould. for me although a top footballer, not what city need right now.
Also Cahill, obviously a talent but again i think hughes would be abit silly in signing him, nedum has alot of potential then we have lescott toure kompany aswell. another centre back would be wasted too! And as for Bentley, no... just no.
I love the transfer window and the excitement that it comes with being a city fan but the more i think about it unless a top left or/and right back become available such as dani alves, maicon,etc then i don't see many positions we need to improve on. One thing i would do although i doubt it will happen as it will leave hughes very red faces is get rid of RSC and Benjani if possible and bring in a player of the quality of Dzeko, having Ade and him competing for that target man spot would be awesome for the club.
