You Can't Fit A Square Peg Into A Round Hole

[Citizen Green]

I Doubt we will sign James Milner if we land Toure, that will leave us with

Given
Hart
Nielson

Richards
Zabaleta
Onuoha*
Boateng
Toure
Lescott
Kompany
Boyata
Bridge
Garrido*

Wright-Phillips
Adam Johnson
Vieira
Michael Johnson
Ireland
Barry
Yaya Toure
de Jong
Weiss
Robinho

Bellamy
Adebayor
Tevez
Santa Cruz*

*Players that I think will be moved on

not to mention the likely adition of another two or three players to that, and we're looking very good for a top 4 finish and a chance of winning something next season.

I'd rather we have an issue whereby we have too many good players, as opposed to one where we have barely any at all, like in the Pearce era.

 

[lee-mcfc]

Hopefully we won't sign Milner

me and you both mate...

Nail hit on the head the. Please feel free to rearrange :)

Let's say it's true and we end up signing Toure and Milner, and Robinho comes back. How on God's earth are we going ti fit all these midfield players in?

Johnson
Milner
Barry
Toure
de Jong
Ireland
Robinho
Bellamy
SWP
Johnson

There maybe trouble ahead.

PS. Have I missed anyone?

hopefully we wont get milner...

plus wits called having a squad......we could play well over 50 games next year with a good run in europe...we will need to rotate the team

Robinho will never play for city again. His attitude is far too bad slagged of the club, management and country too much.

He hates manchester, he hates city, he hates england he hates the prem, he hates the weather he hates the manager etc etc etc. This is pretty much all him and his agent came out with for a year, direct quotes.

Yes he is world class when he feels like it as in the game last night but if he doesnt want to play for us what can we do ? Just looking down the lsit :


Johnson (not played for 2 years probaboly go out on load for a season)
Milner (might not sign certainly dont want him for £30 million)
Barry
Toure (not signed yet)
de Jong
Ireland (Wants to leave)
Robinho (wants to leave)
Bellamy (Talk of him leaving)
SWP (Talk of him leaving)
Johnson


I dont see many players there whos futures are not in doubt TBH !

You can if you have a big enough hammer, ask the Mrs ;-)

An unnoticed gem

 

[bluemoon201164]

Ireland, SWP, Bellamy and (Michael) Johnson will be marginalised/sold.

And I doubt we will sign Milner.

First choice midfield will hopefully be:
Adam Johnson, De Jong/Barry, Yaya, Robinho

And it will be fucking awesome.

sorry mate but robinho in the midfield just wont work.its either in behind the striker as a striker or sold to the highest bidder.

Bench:

Given,

K Touré,

Barry/de Jong,
SWP,

Adebayor,

and two of Zabaleta, Bridge and Vieira.

Reserves:

Taylor/Nielsen,

Boyata,
Cunningham,
Vidal,

Weiss,
Ibrahim,

RSC/Caicedo,
Nimely,
Ball.

and one of Zabaleta, Bridge and Vieira.

However, This depends on who we buy/who accels in the academy/who is sold.
Loaned (if they don't want to stay):

M Johnson,
Onuoha,
Richards,
Ireland,
Maybe Cunningham, Vidal, Ibrahim, Boyata and Weiss but we could need them with all those games/if all the below are sold.

Sold:

Bellamy (if he wants to go)
Sylvinho,
Garrido (Only if we can get another LB or two),
Benjani,
Jo,
Bojinov,
RSC (Only if we can get another big striker, maybe we could keep Caicedo?),
Petrov,
Etuhu,
Logan,

I think people are missing the point. Firstly the top teams have 8 or 9 midfielders to choose from.

Secondly, If we sign Toure Silva Milner or a combination of say two - then im sure there will be departures but only after we have made signings.

There wont be trouble - players that realise they are at the bottom of the list will want to leave.

Its called progress !
