Best signing

Now that it looks likely that our spending in this window is done, whcih of the signings do you think is the most important/best/ likely to have the biggest impact.

For me , I reckon its going to be Yaya. Would class player, signed from one of the worlds greatest clubs and, although he is a fantastic player now, is still pretty young and can only get better.

He's so last window mate ;-)

But will be a fantastic signing nonetheless.

Hopefully he'll be the best but the one who excites me the most (from a footie perspective natch!) is Super Mario.

Milner will be a great signing and I expect him to make an immediate and significant impact.

Long term, once he settles in to the Prem, Silva will be prove to be the best of the bunch imo.

I actually think you could make a case for any of our buys this summer. I'm really pleased with the business we've done. Just hope Bobby can gel them because on paper our squad is the best in the league along with Chelsea.

I think Milner will be world class in 3-4 years. He has everything, quick, strong, left foot, right foot, can deliver a ball, can score goals, can tackle, can win headers, he's got the lot and playing with Silva, Tevez, Yaya ect will bring the best out of him than Luke Young, Stilian Petrov and John Carew.

I think there all excellent signings but Milner is the only one i can see staying for 10 years and making a real legacy on this club.

on the face of it they are all such good signings it is difficult to say who is going to be best or have most impact for us, short or long term. Best in terms of watchability and flashes of the spectacular i would say Kolarov, Silva and Mario may provide us with some stuff to cheer about.

Hard question.

Milner will make the most impact straight away, but in the next 6 months i expect Silva to really flourish and then within a year Balotelli to be the best player at the club.

All in all though this has been a fooking good window, the signings this time round have been on another level to the Hughes ones!!

All of them will be key players for the next 5-8 years!

Mario Balotelli.
"Like all bullies, they've just found out that there is a much bigger guy in town, someone who is richer and more powerful than their worst nightmare. And this smiling Arabic assassin is intent on stealing all the treasures they've nicked off everyone else, and pulverising them into commercial and footballing oblivion as he does so."

Tough question.

David Silva.

Even half-fit and new to the prem game I've never seen a player with that much class, at his peak, in fact, not yet at his peak, at City


Close second...Balotelli has jaw dropping ability, he could overtake Adebayor quickly with his directness
