Podolski? NQDP is going to love this ;)

I think most people will agree apart from his one real decent season at Cologne, he hasn't done much in club football. Excellent International record though

Torres waiting game for City

Manchester City are playing it cool over landing their number one strike target Fernando Torres.

The Blues are still hoping that the Spain hitman may be tempted away from Liverpool, and would be prepared to break the British transfer record in order to get him.

But with Torres still involved in the World Cup – and set to feature against Germany in Wednesday night’s semi-final – the Blues are holding a watching brief.

New City signing David Silva ended up in hot water with Spain coach Vicente del Bosque when he discovered that he had been in contact with City over his £29m move while in South Africa.

Del Bosque eventually insisted the deal be made public to end the speculation surrounding one of his players, and has warned other squad members to remain focused on the job in hand.

That is why Torres is refusing to discuss his future until Spain’s involvement in the World Cup is over.

His agent Jose Peton was quoted as saying Torres would not necessarily remain at Anfield but would be staying in the Premier League.

But Peton has flatly denied saying that, and reiterated that Torres will not be making any decisions until he gets back from South Africa.

City made him their top striker target of the summer but were initially put off by indications that he would be looking to move to a club competing in the Champions League.

With Spain’s big two moving for other targets, Chelse reining in their spending, and United unlikely to be in the running, City are prime candidates.

Manager Roberto Mancini made a point that the signing of Silva last week sends out a message to other top players that City are a coming force.

But sources at City deny that was a pointed reference to Torres, who Spanish reports claim has been speaking to Silva about the Premier League while in South Africa – and even suggesting helped to persuade him that City would be a good move.

Man City Set To Land James Milner

MARTIN O’Neill is ready to strike a £30m deal with Manchester City for want-away James Milner.

The Villa boss accepts he is fighting a losing battle to keep Milner at Villa Park – but is ready to play hardball with City.

O’Neill is ready to do business and smash the record transfer sale at Villa, but only if City are willing to throw in Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha into the deal.


Villa value Milner at £30m and will want £15m cash plus the two City players who are surplus to requirements for Roberto Mancini.


City have tried to use the duo as part of a deal to tempt Everton to part with Mikel Arteta, but Villa boss O’Neill wants them to switch to Villa Park.


Onuoha’s future is ­virtually non-existent now that City have signed ­German ­international ­Jerome Boateng, while ­Villa are desperate to sign a right-back with Luke Young and Habib Beye both set to leave the club.


But O’Neill faces stiff competition from ­Sunderland to land former England ­Under-21 star ­Onuoha.


While the Villa boss has already ­rejected two bids in excess of £20m for Milner, he realises he is swimming against the tide.


Milner appears to have set his heart on a move to City, having being promised a contract which would more than double his £45,000-a-week deal at Villa Park.


But Ireland, who is valued at £9m, would be a welcome addition to the Villa midfield, which is crying out for an attacking ­influence from central areas.

fuck maybe switch those prices and it would be better. Milner is worth nowhere near 30 million.

At the risk of starting the same old discussion - I reckon £15M cash plus two blokes who wont play in a top 4 side as long as they've got holes in their wotsits, for a bloke who can make a difference, ain't that bad a deal.

However City NEVER seem to do trade deals.

[Exiled]

I know it's just the media spouting bullshit but how the hell can Milner be worth £30m and Torres at £50m+ when Sneijder is quoted at £25m.

I can't believe the FSW would even consider selling one of the best players of the season to a hated old rival. Must be shite.

I agree on that the swap deal is right but I still think both players and 15 million is too much and we have said we wont be taken for mugs this window.

Isn`t that the position Milner has supposedly excelled in this season, if so why not save ourselves £30m and keep Stevie FFS

[john@staustell]

Because Ireland is pants Mark.

And Vhero - those 2 players aren't worth anything to us. Neither may be in the 25 squad, in which case we are stuck with 2 players of zero value not playing but raking in the cash - one who stopped playing about the same day he got a big contract.

Milner has the ability to change certain, not all, games, and is a top 4 player.

Cutting off our nose to spite our face - keeping 2 poor players against getting a player Bobby obviously wants - is bordering on the loony, unless he has a decent English alternative, which I very much doubt.

Disagree massively about Onuah - out of all the fallings out this one seems to me to be the oddest one to me - in my opinion he's the best right back out of Micah, Zabba and himself - had a great run of games and then got weirdly dropped, I even started a thread asking why onuah wasn't playing, expecting someone ITK to reveal an injury or something, but as it turned out, young neddy himself was just as baffled as to why he was dropped.
If we let him go to your villas or your evertons on the cheap, and it looks like we will, they have got themselves an absolute steal there.
AND the lad is a true blue.. big mistake to get shot and a black mark against mancini in my book

Onuaha is quality in my eyes too Wooders...but is he really top 4 quality? The answer is no...nor is Micah either...and Zabs will probably only be used as a utility man

Fact is the club is outgrowing some of these players at a rapid rate...Bobby is not daft...he watches them on the training ground and he knows the standard required to build winning teams...he has done it throughout his managerial career

sentimentality doesn't come into it...as I had to learn the hard way when Dunnie went
