Really? No i mean REALLY?


If they get Samba then defiantly. From what I've seen this season, he's one of the best CBs in the league and certainly one of the strongest in the air. Can't think of a time where I've ever seen him lose a header

i agree with your defiance, but i disagree with your assessment about Spurs title chances, regardless of who they sign.

You need to watch them more, he has the turning circle of the titanic, he is as technically gifted as my zxspectrum and has no pace. One of the best in the league? Not imo

Hoilet is fucking wank. If we are really desperate for a shit I'd rather re-sign shauny. Hoilet is basically a slightly shitter Lennon/Walcott. Run rabbit run comes to mind when I see him play.

Samba is too slow and would be a good signing if the club ever got nostalgic and felt like dropping to 17th in the league and fighting to avoid relegation by parking the bus, forcing the play wide and defending crosses for 90 minutes (98 against the scum).

Hopefully mancini has slightly more sense than some of you and realises that we are a top team on our way to winning the league and maybe a few other trophies aswell. I can't fucking wait for this seasons parade. Wonder if the rags will have one for the charity shield.

Can't see that he's any slower than any of our main CBs personally & technically his recent goals have shown a first touch better than we are used to seeing from our defenders.

Tbf, I watch them a fair bit & he's been MOTM or 2nd best player on the pitch in most games I've seen them play. He drops the odd bollock but certainly no more than Vinny. I think the pairing of Kompany & Lescott is one of the best in the league but if either was to get injured now & the choice is Savic, Micah out of position or Samba for £5 mil, I recon we're talking snapping Blackburn's hand off. Don't think Bob will be interested though.

Exactly. When I say 'best' I don't mean top 2 in the league (should have used a less superlative word), but he's certainly up there. As a backup CB (or someone to sub in to negate a physical presence) it's hard to find a better value for your money. And the game's I've watched of him he's been massive. Without him Bburn would be royally fucked.

I always thought Dedrick did well when he covered last season in times of need. Young, but full of ability, just lacking experience which Kompany or Lescott would have to dish out verbally for a full 90 mins.

We'll just have to keep scoring more than they do! Easy.

Those 3 gormless tools, just lovin' it.
That can't realistically be the end game result for City before the end of that simple twats career.
