title contending in Jan - £50m spend?

He didn't, we got Vieira....;)

Mock Vieira all you want but I think he's got a very important job at City, he's there for a lot more than playing in my opinion. He's a winner and a leader, and behind the scenes that is a very important thing to have within the club, as we have an inexperienced and young team. I'm sure Yaya and De Jong are learning a lot from him, as are many others, and that could well be a more important job than you could imagine.

I also imagine that he's doing his coaching badges in his spare time, and this could be another big asset to the club, there are few around that have done what he's done in football, and I'm pleased he's at our club and not someone elses.

I wasn't mocking him...I love Vieria, I think he's quality to have around the team and is still a very good player.

well everyone else has
and spurs played two attacking midfielders and play the 'beautiful' game and win

van de vart and Modric are sublime according to sunday suppliment and city wont win owt with barry yaya and de jong in midfield... and theres me thinking that we won and spuds lost...should i be worried..??


mr Nervous from Brighton.

dear mr nervous

yes you should be worried
you will never beat the top teams like liverpool, chelsea, spurs etc playing like that
read the guardian regularly and you will see the error of your ways

i dont know what that meant . but i am correct . A young English striker would be more suited . he would be ready to sit on bench and can be nurtured .. Why not try for Caroll .

 

[mancunial]

yes he is and so am i?

il be amazed if fernando isnt citys number 9 by febuary the 1st

ha ha! Are you serious?!

As has been said new signings in january could be detrimental to a settled (by then) squad, and signing Torres would be a very big gamble unless he rediscovers his form between now and christmas.
He has came back from injury just before the world cup and looked a very pale shadow of his former self, and wouldnt be the first player to come back from injury half the player he was before.
Now i know that what is going on at dipperpoo could be part of the problem, but he was cr@p at the world cup as well, and at present looks disinterested, too big a gamble if you ask me.
The injuries we have at that time may well decide for us if or who we look to sign in the january window, but it is not normally a good time to be making big signings for a host of reasons.
