Centre back for me.... Cahill or Alex would be good or the lad from Juventus can't remember his name......and another striker for me

Heard we're after Hazard. Would be an interesting move.
But it would mean the end of AJ, wouldn't it?

CB is our main need in this window. If we can do a feasible deal for a player like hazard or de rossi I would not turn it down. If we have the financial room to get a striker in then I would like to get either cavani or lavezzi

Which side of the house is the January Window on? I need to get myself one of those.

A centre back but not Cahill. Can't see what all the fuss over him is about

Has a heart the size of a pea and couldn't lace Silva's boots. His performances for Inter this season have been shocking.

He's also the last thing we need in terms of our squad profile. His position is well covered.

CB - Cheillini from Juventus
ST - Swap Tevez for Pato or Tevez and 5million for Ibrahimovic

Not seen much of Subotic but everyone seems to rate him & we certainly need more CB's both now & next season (Dedryk has been fucking useless for Bolton). If this Subotic turns out to be a duffer & we sign him though...

Somebody said after the Napoli game that Ray Wilkins had told them he knew Lavezzi was nailed on for City. I would imagine that even if true, it would be summer though.


I'm a big Subotic fan and, for me, he'd be the final piece in the jigsaw for years to come.

For any people who are a bit dubious about him, for whatever reason, If Bobby Manc were to sign him, you could bet your bottom dollar that he'd be a real winner in the Prem (think David Silva) and we might have the real prospect of playing with three quality centre backs, if the Manager wanted to change our system.

Conversely, in our player rotation approach to the demands of the season, we don't really have a valid option for Kompany and Subotic would be an admirable proposition in this respect. Kolo's days would be numbered however.

Really feel sorry for Boyota. Bolton's defence this season has been an absolute shambles and he looks to be all at sea. I know he was injured recently and perhaps he's been put back in the side too early, but he looks a poor player in that back line and he doesn't really seem fit enough as well. In the papers, the other day, I was reading that Bolton want to terminate the loan arrangement in January so, if that's right, they must feel the same way about him.

I just wonder if the City coaching staff will have a mega task in rebuilding his confidence and footballing skills to bring him back to the position of being the outstanding prospect he was, before he went on loan, or have we got a psychologically scarred player on our hands, who might never now make the grade ??

There was always a fair chance that Boyata wasnt going to make it at the top level anyway.Good but not that good and yes it will be a confidence rebuilding job but he will come back.

Cheillini is excellent.

Lavezzi would be a big transfer and would cement the title. He's got all the tools needed for our league, not least power, pace and drive.

Ibrahimovic for The Turd and 5 mill? No way, mate. Zlatan is crap. I don't know much about Pato.

As someone has already said, keep away from Cahill, he looks iffy to me. Jagielka would be interesting, though it means having Moyes crying all over the media about us.

I thought Boyata was useless last season personally, apart from when he played RB v Chelsea. He got raped in the Europa & playing him & Boateng at home v Arsenal was one of the worst managerial decisions I've ever seen. I wouldn't write him off yet, as he's still a kid & has the basic requirements for the job, but I'd be very very very wary of playing him, & that goes for Savic too.

Chiellini seems to be playing fullback nowardays & I am led to believe he's been iffy at CB in recent times.

Sell Tevez and hopefully Bridge. That'll do me. Anything else depends on the offer, the size of the offer and injuries.
