***Transfer Rumours Thread*** [ALL RUMOUR TOPICS MERGED]

I thought he was spectacularly good when I 1st saw him but I've also seen him look pretty poor in some games. I'd definitely take a gamble on him though as he could be different class if it all comes together. Vinny should be able to help persuade him.

I'm not ITK, unless surfing the net counts, but I get the impression we're in for another Tevez, Kaka, Eto', Terry type transfer with the strong rumours around the likes of Gerrard, Torres and Ibra. Hopefully this time, the club can keep it a bit quieter and we can avoid the issues which came with some of those.

My only hope is that if we are going for a big name, it is because we know how he will fit into the side and the way we want to play and won't just be a big name for the sake of it. I think we're probably fairly well known already, so we don't need another Robbie. I'd be more than happy for us to sign some very good youngsters and perhaps have another season of building before finding ourselves with several world class players who have grown into that at City. The example has got to be the likes of Lampard, Torres and even Tranaldo - decent players when they were bought, but nowhere near what they turned into.

Maybe it was a poor video, but he didn't seem particularly impressive on it. He gets forward, with no real purpose, didn't seem to make a killer pass and useless at tracking back - are you sure it wasn't a video of Wayne Bridge by mistake?

The Valdimir Weiss video is more impressive than that one.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

A bit over the top from the Mirror there. I can't see us getting rid of 14 players, 7 maybe.

Sounds like were talking to Gerrard or Ibra then.

What would you guys think if we signed either? Both amazing on their day but also come with their baggage. So would not too thrilled.

Would love Gerrard at City, but im concerned about all the scouse1 baggage he'd be lumberd with - cant see him going to anouther PL club really - he's 'typcasted' himself as a scouse player and he knows no better

Would take Gerrard but don`t need Ibra as we`ve got ade. Same player/attitude.
