Who's next??

This idea of spoiled fans is bizarre to me. Are you folks paying attention? The club was pretty explicit. We are cleaning house in January and buying replacements.

If we sell 5 and buy 3 that does not seem excessive, rather it seems quite reasonable. We may not need a CB but if we sell Lescott then suddenly we do. I expect Bobby wants him gone because he is not worth his wage and not in the long term plans for the squad. Same with Bridge. This is not about City fans being greedy but about fans excited to see Bobby putting the final touches on HIS squad.

The Academy is in our plans too.. mancini just said that loaning youth players to championship will give them good experience.

He mentioned a few... and it looks like Vladimir Weiss is 1 of the players on loan that he might give a chance later.

So i dont think he just goes and buys for fun someone without thinking how this will affect the future.
He have to think long term.. and maybe he has some youth players in mind that he could use next year as squad players.

But i still think Mancini is going to sign 1-2 players more this january. I just have a feeling because so many things suggest that.

Exactly agree with you fingerwille! I really hope that if we make like 2 more signings... we willl atleast offload atleast 3-5 players..like swp,ade, rsc, bridge.

Otherwise, no signings.

Must admit I don't quite understand the "spoiled" talk. Do we have a complete squad, capable of challenging for the CL? When one of your midfield slots must go to Barry, Milner or Vieira, with the other two your backup options then the simple answer is no. Thus there is plenty of room for improvement.

We have the means of addressing this weakness, and crucially, the owners have an ambition of being the best. I can't believe Mancini is happy with our options in this department.

Importantly, we would make things a lot easier for ourselves if we did it in this window.

That's not to say that any of us are not grateful for the situation we find ourselves in. I still can't believe our luck. But putting that aside £350m has been spent on a squad that is competitive domestically. The depth of Mansours pockets would imply that further money spent makes sense to take us from just competitive to being ahead of the pack. We're almost there - it would be a shame to stop now.

FWIW I don't think there is another club on the planet with a better set of forward or goalkeeping options than us (Messi apart lol). Our defence is on the whole, excellent. But we really do need to improve in the middle of the park in terms of quality in the starting 11, and depth.

Mancini bought 2 of those options.

I'd hate it. DOn't want Kaka. Get Pastore and Luiz in instead. And the team is complete.

Ade, RSC, SWP, Bridge, Jo and Lescott out.
