I think gallas will be a great signing as gallas has pace and dawson does the dirty work. I can see spurs being even stronger.

I still think there will be last day drama involving Ibra - with ade maybe going to Real

Dippers takeover gone tits up so Torres will be touted around Europe

I've said all along that I believe City's No 1 target was Torres. If injuries have put a stop to that then fair enough but otherwise, all the mutual arse kissing between him & Liverpool means absolutely nothing imo. Torres knows how much speculation there was about his future but chose to say nothing, even after Hodgeson met him, until he got to Liverpool & was told a takeover was in the offing. That's gone to shit.

No way would Liverpool ever have wanted Torres playing for City v them anyway. No way will their owners want to give the manager the money his sale generates either. Torres doesn't want to appear disloyal to the fans. IF Torres is to leave, it always made sense from Liverpool's point of view that it happens as close to the window closing as possible; season tickets bought, no time to spend the cash, Torres seen as wanting to stay.

We have 2 players for every position bar the most important; centre forward (if RSC is surplus as suggsted). I think we will try again in secret to sign Torres then possibly try Dzeko again if it fails.

I can't help but think that Bobby has got something up his sleve around a striking options. With all this money at is disposal, I can't accept that he's happy to go in to the season, one in which he is under serious pressure to deliver, with Ade, who looks so disinterested and ineffective at times, and a young kid as our target man options. At the start of the summer I actually thought that a forward and a replacement for Ade would have been a priority for him.

I'd love to see Torres join us. If we could get him right physically there's no one to touch him on his day. I'd also love to see us sign Dzeko.

I have feeling that we may still see some movement up front, possibly in and out.
