Hamann, Bellamy, Vieira, Pizarro, Demichelis

We already had that player. We let him go to Everton.

And De Jong was that player too. Letting him go or him wanting to leave was a mistake too.

[Two's Kompany]

He's done ok.
He appears a fairly calm player from the outside and that was just what we needed when Kompany was ruled out.
He also seems to be a confident player which is a big thing at top level sport. The others, rightly or wrongly, will therefore trust him.
Personally I think he will be used as a holding midfielder in certain games away from home (alongside Fernandinho) when everyone is fit, with Yaya played further forward.

[Ted Hughes]

He's an intelligent footballer. For me that covers an awful lot of sins. Good acquisition. Think we should buy more of these accomplished squad players who can do a job, particularly a ball winning midfielder who can come on when we are protecting a lead and play in a five man midfield.

Agree on both.

Demichelis has so far been a good signing, not least because he is 1000 times better than Garcia & prevents us from that peril.

What we need though is a really quality, all round, quick, strong, clever, talented centre back, preferably one who can stand ten yards to the left or right side of the pitch whilst tackling people, (as that seems to have become suddenly important these days).
