"Your Ruining football" I mumbled!

When you point out Robinho, Berba, Rooney, David Villa, along with countless others cost less. Then rub in the fact he has played 11 games this season.

I would value him at 8 million. The new owner obviously knows fuck all about football.


They should have just played out this season and bid again in the summer once he was fit again and had had another 10 or so games at this level. Its a panic buy at its best.


That has nothing to do with it. You really think he's the one making these decisions? Writing the checks, sure.

Best thing about this window was that Luiz was not on the move... would ruin it all if he goes to Chelsea:(

If it makes you feel any better, Carroll is actually injured at the moment.

We already have a strong side and Mario should be back shortly, look at the prices being paid today it's ridiculous money even by City standards.Panic buttons have been well and truly pushed at Anfield and Stamford bridge.

Do they? Chelsea just bought one of the best strikers in the world and the hottest CB prospect as well. We bought a striker who scored a lot of goals from crosses but dont have any winger left who can actually deliver a decent cross...

There was me thinking we had scored from a cross just this weekend (albeit against a league 1 side).

Chill out chief, we've got enough of a squad to get CL football.

I know I heard a statment from dalgliesh only about a week maybe 2 weeks ago saying he'd have to make do with what he'd inherited as far as the jan transfer window was concenred, now they're trying to buy all and sundry!

Dalgliesh = the new twitcher!

Luiz to Chelsea. Absolutely gutted.

I'd take 4th place on goal difference right now given the lack of game changing options on the bench available to the manager. we'll need to be bloody lucky with injuries and form from now till May.

Come on man up fella! Top 4 is the aim we are on course to achieve it. Anything greater than this will be a bonus.

We can cope without Johnno too, we have bundles of talent in the squad!

And besides on the plus side Chelsea signing Torres puts the pressure back on them and firmly off us!

Very poor from City - a couple of backups would have done and how come we can´t offload Jo or SWP - people laughing at dippers might not be 12 months hence I fear. Chelsea shoe in to finish above us now - we´re hanging on for 4th imo. The thought of Jo playing any major part in our run in is frightening-
Oh well another 3 months off my fuclin life by seasons end - I´ll keep my expectations to 5th and get hope to fucl I´m wrong

Whats all the gripe about not going wild in the market.We have done since the club was taken over and have assembled a great squad and also have at least a dozen players out on loan that we will have to try and move on in the summer.
