Early days but a bit worried.

[bigblue]

Signing two great players, getting a new coach, already having a world-class squad, and especially with baconface gone - this should be happy time.

So if you are worried now, there is little hope for your attitude changing in the future. Luckily your doctor can offer many drugs to help you out; Clonazepam, Alprazolam, citalopram, lorazepam, diazepam, or just a good ol' fashioned spliff from your neighborhood dealer. The bottom line is many of you are some seriously sad cunts and need help.

Attitude ???? are you for fucking real ????

Please let the worried on here who our strike force is going to be or who you reckon is going to score the many goals our fantastic club needs to win trophies ? Get fucking real before you spout off after a spliff pal !

Who's going to score goals?

We have Dzeko who was leading scorer in the German League and one of the top 20 strikers in the world. Most teams would take him. We also have Aguero who is a top 10 (or even 5) striker in the world. He can score goals too.

Behind them we have David Silva who is great at setting up chances. He often starts for the Spanish national team. Supporting him is Yaya Toure who has basically defined a new position of box-to-box man mountain with incredible quick feet. Samir Nasri was recently a regular French international and one of the most highly rated French players. He has had a difficult period of late, but has shown signs of returning to being one of the premier players at his position.

We have signed a WC and Euor Championship winger who is fast as roadrunner named Jesus Navas. He is pretty good. We have also signed a player named Fernandinho who is like a mix of Yaya and Ramires and will compliment our midfield quite well. Jack Rodwell and James Milner are two local lads who have great work ethic and a bit of skill when necessary. We also have a team of backups that are regular internationals at their respective countries.

Combine the above with the fact that our new coach has proclaimed that he like to attack and never stop attacking, Ï think we'll be good for goals. Now you can go back to quivering in the corner if you like.

[Risby]

Soldado, Negrado, D'Natale, Pelle', Bony - all got 20+ goals in their leagues (Spanish, Italian and Dutch).

Anyone think any of these could do a job?

Seen Soldado and Negrado a few times and they look decent, but not sure how they would do in the PL.

We are discussing football in particular City, on a football (City) forum. By your general attitude in many threads, you don't enjoy discussing football/City.

Seeing as there are loads of us & one of you, the simplest way to solve this, would be if you were to just fuck off.

You contribute nothing.

The whole tone of this forum has gone from discussing football to worrying and panicking about the future of the club. Everything, even the smallest actions taken by the club, are speculated upon in the worst possible light and interpreted as an omen for the Man City apocalypse. I'll gladly contribute "nothing" in my posts if the alternative is to moan, cower, and panic (which I see as a net negative for this forum). Especially when things seem to be going pretty well at the moment.

How many strikers do we need? Yes, probably another to cover injuries but wasn't the big problem with Dzeko the lack of consistent game time? Under the current options he's bumped to playing most games alongside Sergio. There are confidence players and he's definitely one that would benefit from playing more and playing a certain style.
If we do buy another striker that's 'better' so be it, it's not a bad thing as the current options already look very good.

The Isco/Hazzard type circuses give me a headache and it seems fellow fans create the circus. I bet there was more written on this forum about Isco than appeared in all the papers! I think the problem with these things is the interpretation that we've lost face as we have allegedly missed out in a player that none of us ever knew for sure we were in for. We know we didnt perform great last season, but where did Chelsea finish again and they did get the massive star that we missed out on last year.

It's a team. And the team is only as good as the sum of it's parts. Takes an extra special player like Messi that can improve the overall team alone. Isco and Hazzard aren't currently near that sort of level and few players are.

I thought we should have kept Nigel (if he would have stayed) for another season, I think we dropped a bollock letting Ballo go, I'm dubious about Tevez leaving as I'm nervous about losing that drive and injection of pace, but I think we'll play with more pace anyway without Mancini. Would also like to keep Micah, but that is sentimental, you're allowed one of those irrational ones, right?

Anyway, despite these few concerns I have confidence in the club and management that we have. Irritating to hear them called Spanish this or that, when the transfer window is open for a long time yet and I doubt out dealings are complete.

Struggle to understand why the panic button is being pressed. I'm excited, not worried.

So if our new coach signs another striker, he will be wrong then & you will be on here complaining about him wasting money, as we don't need one, presumably because Dzeko & Aguero will both stay fit for 50 odd games ?

What is the title of the thread and what do many of the first two pages of post talk about? worry, worry, worry

And when have I ever complained about wasting money? I save that for the media and half of this board.

Im totally happy. I wanted a Barca style system. Still think we wont win the league with two strikers though.

So Aguero and Dzeko are going to play every fucking game ? is that what you are saying ? the mind fucking boggles mate !

You can play with only 1 striker at a time you know.... The scum basically won the league doing so and Bayern won everything they could with 1 striker. the 4-2-3-1 seems to be a pretty popular formation and our new coach likes it too. Maybe having 4 world class strikers is too much for one team if 3 of them are usually starting on the bench.

For themillionth time Pellegrini is two up front guy. He is famous for 4-2-2-2 system.

We have two strikers one of whom was injured quite a lot last season & a kid who is recovering from a career threatening illness & now has a knee injury. If we sign another striker will it be the correct thing to do or not ?

The scum had 4 strikers in the squad tho. Bayern had 3. Even in a system with one up top, you can't rely on 2 players to share 50 odd games between them with no back up plan whatsoever. Especially if one of them has been plagued by injuries all last season.

Strikers get injured , players get injured . Top managers rotate the squad / system ...... resting players is vital especially with niche competitions like the CL , a competition we (MCFC) need to do very well in next season ;-) . The premier league is very very tough , especially the colder months december , january and february , you need your squad fully fit for the run in etc ...... no way can we cope with just 2 strikers ...... Aguero also missed the best part of last seasons action for one reason or another. For me we deffo need 4 QUALITY strikers.

[bigblue]

I don't know how my post was misinterpreted as "I only want 2 strikers, no more!" I was more addressing the amount of fear and panic on here. More players are always nice, but I think we have a great base in place. Seriously, go back and read my original post. You'll see that Ted brought up the "2 striker limit" which I never mentioned or considered up to that point.

Do you really not think we will buy someone in the next 60 days? Where does the worry come from????

And for the themillionth time... if you can't discuss football (or anything) without moaning when you're simply a terrible person to discuss with.

[sidSmith]

Some nice contradictions here. He's a 4222 two striker practitioner and we're aiming for Barca style. Can't both be right.

I think we need to play the same approach/style as often as possible so that it doesn't matter which players are out there.

Which is it to be?
