Just on the Robinho strenth thing, Robben, Ashley Young, Pires etc weren't strong at all, but have had Premiership success. Young is on the floor plenty. From what I saw of Robinho last year, he just looked bored at times, it looked like there was only one or two folk he fancied exchanging passes with and through the lack of quality in the ranks, teams found it easier to contain him. Perhaps he'll benefit most from the increased attacking options that City will now have.

I've been thinking that, only a year left I know, but you look at say, George McCartney last year, £7m etc.

Seems a bit of a snip.

Any team with Tevez, Adebayor, Robinho, Santa Cruz, Bellamy, SWP, Petrov and Ireland will score lots of goals. That alone will win them alot more than they'll lose.

Thinking about it now we probably do need either Kompany/De Jong to play alongside Barry. And to say out bench is poor is laughable we probably have the best attacking options from the bench in the league. Santa Cruz,Bellamy,Petrov and SWP cant think of 4 better subs than that ( attackwise)

All well and good, but until Manchester City sign the missing piece in the jigsaw, they will just be mere pretenders



£15million and he's yours

I don't think you'll have one set system. Away from home, I imagine you'll play with more protection in midfield, but at home I imagine you'll play two or maybe even three up top.

Lol heard a rumour that fulham are after Dawson actually.

I'd expect to see this:

-----------------------------Shay Given-----------------------------
Wayne Bridge--Vincent Kompany--Kolo Toure--Micah Richards
-------------------Gareth Barry--Stephen Ireland-------------------
Robinho---------------------------------------Shaun Wright-Phillips
---------------Emmanuel Adebayor--Carlos Tevez ---------------

Although it is hard to leave out Nigel de Jong aswell...

Very good.

Have to admit, I can't be arsed re-replying to everything now, we'll just start going around in circles. Apart from one thing, mate...



I'll say. She's actually a sensible person.

Surely Bridge & Richards.....and Robinho & SWP should be the other way round?
