- ‘Rodri, Rodri, Rodri’ !!! PinchMe PinchMe PinchMe THREE was the magic number !!! CITY CITY CITY Manchester England Europe
From day one Mancini made it clear he wanted a player for every position (competition) and now he really has it with Tevez back
Here is how I roughly see them pairing up and it's a case of horses for courses depending on the opposition, injuries, form and our run of games.
We finally have our 22 again
Hart (H) Pantimillion
Richards (H) Zabaleta
Clichy (H) Kolarov
Kompany Toure
Lescott (H) Savic (Possible World Class Center half?)
Barry (H) De Jong
Milner (H) YaYa
Johnson (H) Pizzaro (Possible World Class winger - Lavezzi?)
Silva Nasri
Balotelli Dzeko
Aguero Tevez (Possible World Class Center Forward?)
Emergency Extras
Hargreaves (H)
Loans to return
Roque Santa Cruz
Tchuimeni-Nimely
Adebayor
Guidetti
Weiss
Razak
Johnson
Ibrahim
Boyata
Bridge
Cunningham
It is going to be interesting to see if we can move these players out or how many have a more permanent role to play in our future!
Understanding between the players is going to be a key area for our improvement, the better understanding the players have the easier it will be to create chances and play even more fluently
I find it difficult to see areas to improve our squad in the summer without buying top class players.
Most will say the most obvious area of weakness will be Centre half if Kompany or Lescott are out and this has been exposed previously when Kompany was wrongly banned. Savic shows potential but a loan move may be beneficial for his long term career.
I think the right wing area has potential for improvement, Lavezzi would be fantastic ripping down that side but could halt the development of Johnson?
The other area for improvement could be seen as World Class Center Forward if Tevez is to leave but some of our players may not get enough game time currently, do we stick with what we have and get Guidetti back into the frame or look at Cavani, perhaps Lavezzi is the man that has the flexibility to play multiple positions; we know Mancini likes that!
Kolarov gets a bit of stick on here but for me is a solid player who provides good competition and a littel something different to Clichy!
Richards is a beast and could has the potential to be best Right back on this planet and is English, so not really an area that needs strengthened when you have Argentina captain (Zabs) to take turns in this slot
Our midfield looks stong and only a true top class centre mid would make much of an improvemnt on what we have there!
Barry, De Jong, Milner and YaYa are all top players; my only concern is on De Jong and the way he tackles; we have been targeted by referees this season and his style of play is open to be exploited by referess and cheating opponents!
Creatively we have 2 of the best players in the league in Nasri and Silva, we really are blessed, ah well happy days!
