Newcastles chief scout used to be with us. He's found a few good uns for them.

Now we have Tixki in charge there will be more youth players brought in and also players like Michu. Marwood missed out on a lot of players, its no surprise Mancini slated him publicly.
Yeh, Mancini didn't get the players he wanted. But it was like he was playing FM! We can't keep buying all these top players. We need to find more Nastasic's, more Kompany's and more Zaba's. Unknown players who will put in 100% for us. Mancini quiet frankly doesn't look like he knows how to get 100 % out of our squad. He hasn't adapted tactically even though teams have been doing the same bus parking for a year now!Mr Ed (The Stables) said:CTID101 said:Not one player that has been transferred in the last few years wouldnt have been looked at by our scouts.

So will the axe fall on Bobby in the summer? Do our owners think the same way? I personally will be amazed if Bobby is still here...yet Marwood will be, seems a touch unfair to me.

And what happens when these marquee signings don't fancy joining city?
You end up scrambling around on deadline day for whatever's left on the shelf.
What they should do is this. Ask these targets if they fancy it. If they can't commit well before deadline day, then move on. These deals should be sorted out in June, not the last day in August.
