We will not finish top 6...

Barry wasn't too bad, I think Villa will struggle to rpelicate his influence for the £12m we gave them.

Adebayor could go either way. Tevez was fantastic, don't care how much he cost.

I suspect Chelsea missed out on an opportunity by selling Chelsea, I'm sure they could have done better in the long term with the money that we would have been prepared to give him. But he would have been such an impact signing I think it would have been worth it anyway.

Toure - suspect Wenger can't believe his luck, likewise if we get near the sums talked about for Lescott or Upson.

so its ok you calling people for us wanting toure,lescott etc etc because you dont want to help the rivals but you dont care if we pay over the odds for tevez?


pot,black,kettle...put them in the right order eh?

No club got any money for Tevez??

But giving Arsenal £15m for Toure doesnt necessarily improve their team with that, and the same with West Ham and Upson. If you think that there are better cheaper alternatives and they haven't been looked at by us then basically you are saying we are being run like a corner shop. We are looking at established prem league stars.

We might give them money to spend, but whether they strengthen is going to be down to as much luck as judgement as they won't be buying established players, or if they do they will just be as expensive.

im sure half of you lot on here are posting tongue in cheek because i cant for the life of me understand why its wrong to buy lescott and toure but yet most was all for buying terry and if torres was our target you would all start wanking over the thought of it.

Do you think maybe it's because Terry and Torres are a little bit higher quality than Lescott and Toure?

Just maybe.

So who will finish top 6 then, if not City?

but we would have to pay more. Then they would buy other players to replace them (maybe from prem clubs) which would give more teams money. :(

I agree with Johnmc 100%. We are all on a "steep learning-curve", but the corner-shop days are over. You can't eliminate human error, all we can honestly hope for is a batting average over .350 (which would be the dogs bollocks aamof). The underlying assumption seems to me to be that only City will buy players that do not work out, and that 100% of monies paid by City will be ploughed into players by the receiving club. It's my opinion that windfalls (if that is how you'd like to characteriZe City paying a little more than what some folks think is a fair price - a fair price though, imo, is whatever the buyer is willing to pay...but call me old Mr. Libertarian) are going to be used to service debt, or invest in infrastructure, rather than blown in toto on a player.

Lol yep. Say we signed Terry and Torres, we'd be the best team in the league. Sign Lescott and Toure and we're still the 5th best.

I swear some people on here think that no matter what City do it's right, and take every word a City representative says as Gospel. City do get things wrong, Hughes is not the next Mourinho, Tevez is not the next Maradona. I love the club, I'm very ambitious and very optimistic, but the one thing I don't let go of is reality. Some need to get that grip on reality back.
