bony may thrive under bilic, but if i was running that club i would be looking to really go all out and try and take the club forward by buying the best stiker i could possibly buy.
i would try and throw the lot at zlatan and try and get him on a two year deal or something.
Whilst Zlaten would be amazing
We do already have Sakho, Valencia, Carrol, Emenike for one posistion ! more than happy if we kept that lot.
Why not ?
We have very good back up players in all posistions.
Champions league in first season at New Ground would give the porn barons something different to wank about.Spuds look anything but confused at the moment and West Ham look to have the wind in their sails as well. City are relying on our players and returning players for a hopeful final surge in the league.
Plus Zlatan, for all his ability, could upset the team unity.
Why not ?
We have very good back up players in all posistions.
Pretty much every manager who has managed a Prem team in Europe has said how much of an impact the extra games have had. If you think it is not a problem then West Ham have probably the best team that ever played in the Prem.
I am pretty sure we once played West Ham and lost on a Saturday lunchtime after playing Moscow away on a Wednesday and before that we played Chelsea away.
The impact of the extra games leads to more injuries and players becoming physically drained. The players have to mentally raise themselves more often. You also have less fitness and training sessions and sometimes only have a day or two to prepare for a game, while the opposition have had a week. Football at the top level is about fine margins. As soon as the players feel less prepared - physically, mentally and tactically - the likelihood of losing increases substantially. You will soon see.
i agree
i still think we have a squad capable of coping with a extra 10+ games and would be where we are now still.
worth noting we played 6 European games and are still in the FA Cup
