The official transfer update thread

[Blueboylewis]

Just had a quick look at Chinners very nicely set out bollox :)
And i saw a couple of things that made me a bit excited. Even though nowadays i dont even trust papers that much after all the shit that has been written about us but it does make you think thats for sure.

Firstly, An article written on Aguero this morning-

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Ch ... 67467.html

Argentine striker Sergio Aguero will be offered to Chelsea and Manchester rivals United and City for £40m by his club Atletico Madrid. Chelsea were favourites to sign the 21-year-old, but discussions on his personal terms have stalled.

Buying Aguero would be huge and since Carlo has said that he wont buy anyone in January surely we must be next as United dont have any money and Barca or Real wont be interested probably and Aguero has said before that he would welcome a move to the Premier league now.


Secondly an Article on Giampaolo Pazzini-

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... -Pazz.html

Meanwhile, City could bolster their attack by moving for Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini. The 25-year-old averages a goal every other game in Serie A.

Now i dont know much about this guy and scoring 1 every game in serie A is very doable but doing that over in the premier league is a differant matter. Maybe someone else could give me and maybe others if they are curious a bit more information on him.

[Chinners]

Bollox theif ;I

Bollox theif ;I

I dont want your hairy bollox. I have my very nice pair of bollox! :)
You do have great bollox to show every morning though Chinners. It is a pleasure looking at it every morning when i wake up!

[aaron bond]

these are the players I would like in

Subotic CB
Alves RB
Abidal CB/LB

De-Rossi DM

Ribery MR/ML
Mata ML

Pato/Villa

Players Out

Benjani
Caicedo

and anyone who does'nt want to play for the manager

So basically you want to buy a whole new team??? GET A FUCKING GRIP, ALL OF YOU NOT JUST THIS ^^^ TOOL

So your one of the delusional fuckers who thinks the defence doesnt need sorting, were lightweight on the left, and players with the ability that Pato and Villa possess, arnt needed to challenge for the title. Why dont you get a grip fuckwit

did i say that we dont need to buy any players at all NO you cocky little faggot i said we dont need to buy 7 new players so learn to read or if not do the world a favour and go die, we need defenders and fuck all else incase you've not been watching our games scoring isnt our problem ur just a dick who knows fuck all about football so you spit out names you read in the sun we dont need villa or pato or any other overpriced unproven tart when we've already got 4 strikers

'do the world a favour and go die'

you must have been a barrel of laughs on Christmas Day!!!

Firsty, I dunno where this idea that scoring in Serie A is easy, because it sure isn't. Defences are always tight here, and yes, we play a less phisical and pacey game than in England but it's not really easy to score here, in Spain maybe.

This said, Pazzini is a good striker, but he has benefitted a lot from the partnership he has struck at Sampdoria with Cassano, he wasn't that impressive before going there. And, he's also someone who thrives on high crossses as his best ability is up in the air, but we don't have so many good crossers, do we?

[Wooders]

we need a rock of a center back in the John Terry?Rio Ferdinand mould to keep an eye on lescott - full backs, especially on the left
a CM to replace Johnson and backup Ireland, I quite like the idea of Jo Mountinho - I think he would be ideal if a little on the small side

other than that I echo the sentiment of making do with what we have (an excellent squad imo) until the summer

Stop ranting you silly little boy, its poster like you who cant have a decent debate. Lewis started what I deemed an interesting thread, and I decided to add some input. The players I mentioned might have been spouted of in the press, but who has'nt.

I also mentioned those were the players I'd like to see at City, but who mentioned I'd like them yesterday.

As for Villa and Pato, not having any expierence, did Torres Drogba Anelka and Tranaldo have expierence, NO

So get off your'e rocking horse and try and debate a thread, before insulting posters, who I find opinionated, and interesting

OOOKKK, lets debate the issue. Looking at the team we have we dont need to improve anything but defence and we need cover for the shauny unless mancini will start playing weiss. The list of players you put up basically remodels an entire team when half of them haven't been here a full season yet. If we buy new players we need to buy to improve what has been started not start all over again because it will set us back another 2 seasons. As for the strikers you mentioned Anelka didnt come to the prem and blow the world away it took him years to crack it. But for every torres there have been 10/20 other players bought over because they were supposedly the bollox and then they get here and turn out to be complete wank. Whats more important then buying a new superstar is seeing if mancini can get the best out of the stars we've already got. if he can unlike hughes we wont need to buy anyone because the players we have can easily challenge chelsea and the scum aslong as there managed right, weve built a squad and need to get the best out of them before scrapping the idea and starting again simple as that

I,m all for the manager giving players a chance to prove their selfs, but as a fan I've seen enough to know having Alves on the right instead of Richards would be a big improvement.
Abidal is a much better left sided defender than either bridge or Lescott, but I'd be happy to see Lescott given more time.
Ribery or Mata are better than anything we have at the club, so they would improve the team.
And Pato or Villa would be instant replacements for Robinho. As for your comment about Anelka taking years to make it, then the mind boggles. He won the title as a 17 year old with Arsenal, won young player of the year in his 2nd season, and scored a hat full of goals.

The players I mentioned earlier in the thread will improve our squad over the next few years, and I see no reason why we cant sign any of them.

[Swales4ever]

Id be in favour of Mancini buying very few players and waiting until Summer.

Me too, and most important I think Mancini does: the 2 youghsters defender joining 1st squad fm Accademy is a clear clue.
Whether the market won't offer one "now or never" opportunity on some very top proven I'm pretty sure he will do so.

MANCIO is a guy who loves high quality stuff in all life issues: he loves spending money, but he's also very patient in order to avoid wasting of money: we are currently in the desperate need of a solid and high jumping CB up to JL full recovery, and very possibly a of a first class FB.
He surely shall try hard to get sume good stuff for the 2 roles, starting from the most desired chiellini and maicon (success percentage less than 10% - top italian clubs do not sell the jewels along the seasons) much more possible kijer fm palermo, which however is not very fast in closures and is too young to be considered a proven stuff. However he is very connected throughout Europe and will probably surprise all with some not predicted acquisition.

But, I mean, should him consider that european market has nothing to offer, within january window, that may be regarded as something that is very probable to enforce our backfield current level, he won't waste money just to praise anybody. In such evenience he will prefer to handle the stuff he already own as done yday with kompany, or also by deeply and constantly looking after teaching and challaging best youthers. Quite every year and in every former club (lazio excepted) he picked up a young player from the unders:
- fm fiorentina he picked up Palombo, now Sampdoria captain and already capped international
- fm inter he picked up both well known balotelli and santon.

By summer, once acheived C.L. FIRST OF ALL, he shall have a proper picture of what any player can do best and steadly, and could possibly decide to recover some overspent money to be reinvested wiserly.

I didnt mention that it was easy to score in Serie A but i said it is very much doable to score in that league. I am not stating that it is easy because it isnt easy to score in any league but it is very doable mate. But you will know more than me anyway so fair enough :)

deleted all the crap cos its too long

he didnt do anything at arsenal till his 3rd season, flopped at real and then again at PSG, then again at liverpool then did good for us, so there's like a 5/6 yr gap were he did fuck all. drogba didnt do much good at chelski for the first 2 years either he was just OK then did awesome in his 3rd season and then had 2 seasons of crap (i no he was injured some of the time) . I agree about the defence, and although the rest would be an improvement player for player i dont think it will do a squad that are still struggling to play together any good. it will just set us back again. also if you look back at chelski they didnt start consistently competing until they stopped buying new players and gave the squad they had time together, which i think is the only precident we have, you could use real as a guide but there not a prem side and individual's can actually make a difrence in spain were as in england 1 man not playing with the team and you get beat. i think our side is more then good enough to compete with the current top 3 given time, defensive improvement and the right manager to lay down the law

[Blackadder]

Bit of a Chiellini montage at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mConwlf6 ... re=related

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mConwlf69MM&feature=related[/youtube]

What particularly impressed me is the goal he scored with his bell-end at around 1:15 and the flattening of Ibrahimovic around 3:12.

Looks like a horrible horrible defender to play against, in the true tradition of psychopathic Italian footballers of old such as Romeo Benetti, Claudio Gentile and Giuseppe Bergomi.

Similar in ferocity to Vidic of the Rags, but this chap can play a bit as well.

If we are to sign a defender in January, this one will do.

Abidal is much better everywhere and overall he's been used to survives to some 5 deadly conter-attacks a games when his all stars team leave people run down shouting like barbarians... :-)
but again, Mates, I just hardly see Juventus let Chiellini leaving during the season... but
Anybody seriously think the Captain of the current best all winning team in the world will leave his home town, that is also one of the most enjoyable city in Europe, where he is a God, to move elsewhere??? C'MONNNN!!!

Sorry then, I thought it was implied in the "it's doable to score 1 in 1 in serie A" thing that you thought it easy to score there. Well, as I said the kind of footy played is highly different from England, but it's not exactly easy to score in Serie A, although I can see a player who scored for fun here having some trouble adjusting to the Prem, but not necessarily because it's harder to score there, just because the footy is different and he needs to adapt to it, which might take a long period or not, depending on the player. :)

Comment on Richards? - if my gran had not be cremated I would have her ahead of that dozy fucker (OK - I have had a couple...) most fucking annoying thing is that against Stoke I saw the git actually show urgency / run - so what is wrong with the last 2 years you ponce - when you have established UK jogging records - and do not blame Hughes for your previous laziness

Need a top RB NOW!!!!

I was at the Spurs games - got back and read stuff on here about how he looked real good - strong challenges etc

FFS - for all us in the ground it was so so fucking annoying - OK yes he did 3 strong challenges - 2 of which he needed to because he was out of position - but the rest of the games he was a total numpty - poor Kolo (who was criticised was filling a void so often - just like Dunnie before him!!)

Jeez - the same people that hounded out Hughes for lack of performance (BTW whats done is done - onwards with Rob) were often the ones that bleated bollocks about this lazy egotist

[CityFanFromRome]

You really have it for Richards eh? I can admit that he didn't play at his best last season but he looked much better to me lately. But I might be mistaken, still I believe he's a better CB than RB.

You are right - I do - and I do not feel good about having a downer on a CITY player

That I do speaks volumes in itself - never been like this before

This does not come overnight - he has had chance after chance after chance - I am at a time of my life when all of a sudden CITY have a chance to be something again - I never thought it would happen - and players who do not appeared to be able to put the club 1st and are personally dragging the club down have no place for me - I would rather a player with less 'potential' - but with an attitude to give us what he has unstintingly - look at the Bellers interview and compare attitudes

I was a bit neutral on Hughes - but in his shoes - with limited time to get results - I would not have had this bloke on the bench until he had shown in the reserves that he had some appetite - the goals scored through Micah being out of position is a reason he was sacked - and he had a right to expect a bit more (Bellers like) effort was given some backing by the manager - just hope that Mancini has seen all the videos!!

I hardly ever speak to a fan at the ground that does not share the same view (admittedly perhaps not as strongly as I do)

So it wasn't Barry, Lescott, Toure, Bridge playing shite? Just Richards? Burnley's third that hit Bridge on the back of the head was Micah's fault though. Why the fuck didn't he run 30 yards across to the left back position to head it out before it got to Bridge? Or he could have at least given him a shout, "Bridgey, watch out for this ball that we're playing with hitting you on the back of the head!" Come to think about it, why did Micah get Bellers sent off against Bolton?? I'm sure I saw him run over to the ref shouting "That's a booking ref, he dived!!" He was bang out of order setting Bellers up against Arsenal for our second, and probably most important goal in that match, as well. I think all this got Hughes the sack. Definitely. Why not play mad Zab? Maybe he'll get the odd sending off or five but who cares?
