Luiz Felipe Scolari

You conceeded 7 in two games against Hiddink.



They should be considered against 1) What Citeh already have 2) The players in the sides qualifying for Europe 3) The best players in the league.

Very interesting indeed. City fans have never guarded themselves from looking daft before, why start now?

And then we'll have an asset worth £25-£30 million not wanting to be at the club. Whether he gives his all or not, we'd be daft to keep him if he is that desperate to go. £10 million he cost us, so we willt reble our money on a plyer who had 2 poor seasons out of 4.....if we're looking on the bright side!

It's not the actual purchasing, it's information on ticket availability, opening days of sales, loyalty points required etc (i.e the Blackburn game), that's the problem.

Where has the page dedicated to all such information for home and away games disappeared to?

Very true and a Cup run is becoming a 'must' now. There are few excuses anymore. A trip to Wembley and a top six finish would do every City fan right now I think.

I think a top four spot is probably beyond us but I'm not sure that Arsenal are too established to be caught now. The top three are not catchable at prsent but Arsenal are starting to look very vulnerable.

The fact is that there it would be extremely difficult to find an adequate replacement. I can only think of Pirlo, Xavi, Carrick or Fabregas as the calibre of player I'd like to see at Anfield. I doubt we could get any of those. Aquilani is rumoured to be the first choice replacement, and he can't even hack life in Serie A.

I think most players would struggle to hack la liga whilst they're Serie A players, he's never even played in Spain.

I'm not that big a fan of Aquilani, he has talent but I think he's too weak for English football, too lightweight, like.

If we were going to go down the young, unproven route, I'd rather we signed Hernanes from Sao Paolo, who I believe has the potential to surpass Alonso.

If the levels of giddyness from city fans get any higher I can see there being 250,000 on the hill at Blackburn again for their first league game.

Edited my original post, you get the jist.

I dont get the hype. Alonso isn't even that good. Like lots of midfielders in the world he is a tidy player who can pass the ball, whats the big deal?
