Little here to add to the sum of human understanding - there's a surprise

That t**t Woolenough is still trying to steer things towards his favourite "City in crisis" line.

Don't want to hear.

I sympathise but it's happening and may yet be the final piece in our Champions jigsaw!

Here's Part 2 anyway

How you figure? We bust him out to Real Madrid and use the cash for a striker??

Wasn't there already a strong likelihood that we would get a new striker in Jan anyway?

As Doug says we'rein the market for a replacement for Rocky & Ade anyway it seems. There is a view that Carlos' withdrawn style of striker play, productive though it is in goal terms for him, actually doesn't fit well with Mancini's tactics and the rest of the squad's abilities. His departure and the arrival of one or more of Dzeko, Llorente, Suarez or Carroll alongside Balotelli may turn out a blessing.

Thanks for posting that JC. Much appreciated.


IMO, they should fuck Tevez off. Terminate his contract and buy someone who wants to play for City.

Looks like we'll need 2.

I think the hacks were fairly reasonable there. No unbridled haters & Paul Hayward who has fallen into that bracket recently, being fairly complimentary on this occasion, without looking as if he has a bad smell under his nose, as is his usual expression when talking City.

Agree, but right now , in the role that everyone thought Teves would play when he first came, ie behind the strikers. David Silva is playing outstandingly. As this season has panned out, I'd be more worried if we lose that little pearl than Carlos. We are making goal chances , simply not always converting as we could. Perhaps an enforced benching might free the others up instead of always trying to pass to Teves when other options ( possibily even better options) as open ?

From that it looks like City might come out of this with a higher standing in the press. The opinion there was City have handled thiongs well and Tevez +Co are being greedy/stupid

Not Suarez. Not fucking Suarez.

Hahaha, my thoughts exactly when I saw his name mentioned there. Can you imagine a front two of him and balotelli. Maybe we should try for ibrahimovic as well and go for the maddest front 3 in football history.
