as much as you want it to happen we cant have a squad full of 30 million pound players as there not going to want to sit on the bench week in week out
Oh I don't know. One set of moderate players is pretty much like any other set of moderate players. Some will be better some will be worse. Good news is that I suspect we will not be fighting off the big guns to get Scotty Parker & co. Seriously its the thought of filling the squad full of ageing, injury prone wankers that depresses the hell out of me but hey if you think thats what it will take to break into the top 4 then good luck with that.
I actually do not want Scott Parker and RSC, Connor was using those players as an example. When they are fit they are better than Vass and Fernandes but I agree I don't want ageing players but a younger version of Parker and a fit RSC would be what we are looking for.
Well you're going to look very silly when Hughes signs them both aren't you? :)
FFS i used him as an example! younger players in a similar mould to the likes of them, players who are willing to be part of a successful squad, even though they no they wont be playing week in week out, players like o'shea and fletcher at the rags. there not world class players, but they do a job for the team even though they arent first choice!moomba said:So lets look at players that have a lot of improvement in them, and might be able to make a contribution to a title chasing City team.
No point having a Parker coming off the bench (when fit), blocking the spot of a younger player and needing to be replaced in a year or two when we reach a level he's already been found out at.

City fans must realise we need to build a solid team before we can attract the superstars, and not just attract them also for them to be able to fit in.
kiam06 said:This. Be very very careful what you wish for lads! I see Hughes as the type of bloke that wants all his squad to be in "awe" of him.Thats his comfort factor. He says jump and all his disciples shout back "how high boss". The thought of managing world starts gives him cold sweats. Expect a summer of RSC, scotty parker etc etc etc

Thats a good thing, are you crazy. A manager should be the main man who instills fear in the players, look at baconface he has got rid of all the big egos over the years so I don't see your argument. What should Hughes do go night clubbing with Robinho?

AF adapted his style of management years ago because the 'fear factor' died out. Its not about fear its about commanding respect. Its about leadership and knowing when to come down on someone and when to give them the arm around the shoulder treatment. Leadership is something you either have or you don't. Hughes ain't got it.

You need a manager who players respect. Hughes wants ordinary players because he knows he can possibly command that respect from them. The likes of a kaka or david villa or eto etc etc would see through hughes in 2 mins flat and he knows it.
