Who we really should buy in the summer..

[Barry's left peg]

What about Craig Dawson from West Brom as a back up centre half he's club trained?

 

[bluetonium]

I expect a couple of center backs, Malanga seems likely and possibly Caulker too with Cardiff looking likely for relegation, or that Lascalles at Forest. If Micah goes we need a new right back, can see us making a bid for Kyle Walker actually but Spurs are almost impossible to deal with so may not be possible.

Garcia seemed on his way out but not so sure now, if he does then Fernando will be in, would give Rodwell more time as he's potentially very good as a box to box types and home grown if he can stay clear of injuries. Unless Everton are open to Rodwell + Barry swap for Barkley.

New backup Goalie, home grown would be a bonus. Ruddy if Norwich go down? Alex McCarthy at Reading is getting some good reviews, and Wayne Hennessey is surprisingly second choice to Speroni at Palace

Would like to see another creative midfielder to help rotate with Silva, Nasri, comfortable on the ball and happy in a couple of positions. Lallana would be a preference personally but can see his price topping £20m if others get involved, can probably get cheaper abroad is the truth.

Going to be difficult with the world cup, not much time to do deals before then and clubs will keep hold as long as possible in case a couple of stellar performance double a players value.

Ultimately, if it ain't broke... couple of tweaks here and there, but our squad will benefit more from having this year together. Next year if we keep our four strikers I can see us targeting even more league goals.

Sagna, Fernando, and Mangala is who we will buy that's it IMO.

I don't think that alone would enable us to be fully competitive across the competitions.A left back and a creative midfielder are needed imo.

I really wouldn't bother with the left back. Are there genuinely 5-6 better than Clichy and Aleks? Short of Alaba, Alba or Marcelo we're fairly competitive. Coentrao would be great if available though.

Creative mid totally agree with. I'd love a bid for Hamsik or Pastore. Even Insigne could be a great signing (more likely muniain).

And Will Hughes. Really want Will Hughes.

 

[Kladze]

- A world class CB (Benatia/Mangala/Hummels)
- A back-up/rotating CB, preferably home grown (Caulker/Stones)
- A good defensive midfielder (Fernando)
- A back-up/rotating centre midfielder (Zuculini)
- A marquee signing, preferably a direct attacking midfielder/winger (Reus/Di Maria)

Too much FIFA?

 

[Blue Whale]

A world class centre half is an absoulute must. I'd go for Chiellini at Juventus.

 

[kun1]

in: moreno (20 million), william carvalho(30 million), mangala (30 million), sadio mane (10 million), sagna (free)
reus would be perfect i just can't see him leaving dortmund for now.
out: boyata, kolarov, lescott, richards, barry, sinclair, rodwell, dzeko, NASRI about 60 million for all of them
4-3-2-1: hart - vinnie, mangala, moreno, zaba - william, yaya, fernandinho - silva, jovetic - kun
4-2-3-1: hart - vinnie, mangala, moreno, zaba - yaya (william), fernandinho (william) - mane (left), silva (centre), milner (right) - kun.

 

[FredTilson]

Coentrao had Robben in his back pocket the whole game. No way Real sell him at that price. Forster will not come to become second choice.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Don't think we've been linked with him so it's just a quick question....

I've been having a root about and there is an article on mundo deportivo saying,Napoli player Zuniga,has 2 clauses in his contract,1 for barca at 15 million and 1 for any other club at 30 million,can they do that?

 

[Rammyblues]

Having thought about things and reviewed the squad these are the five signings I expect at City next year.

Sagna to replace Richards
Mangala to replace Lescott
Pogba to replace Barry and be a long term replacement for Yaya
Fernando to add further strength to the midfield and replace Garcia.
Zuculini

Anyone else will be a bonus.

Can't see us buying 3 centre mids unless we were planning on loaning zuculini out
