Listen. Would someone just stop uploading lists about perspective future squads and tell
me WHAT the problem is in three sentences or less. No individual names or personal
feelings, just the actual problem.

THIS.. in largest capitals possible.

some people have to look for something to worry about, it is as simple as that.
The thread could just as well have been, 'What will we do if the squad all come down with some as yet unknown motor neurone virus that only affects foreign players' - with the conclusion that we definitely should not sell SWP just in case.

the only thing worth worrying about right now is just how long we will have to wait to see Silva, Tevez, Balotelli and Dzeko line up together.. ;)

Was more the transfer targets part of it I was referring to.


Coming from Sydney though I can see why you don't like lists, like scorecards for example!

It's like saying what if Jessica Alba was shit in bed.


She was a tad disappointing but that might be because she was unconscious. This is a poor thread started by a usually good poster. We can put as many current young academy players as we like in the UEFA squad so it really is a non problem even if we ended up 2 short of the official 25.

haha, cheers. surely my intellectual high point on the site.

as for next season's european squad - as a city fan of more than 3 years i'm more concerned that we actually qualify first. in any case - prob best to wait until we see what players we have at the start of next season before we start fretting. innit.
