QPR game they reckon.

Pieters just signed a 2 year ext in March...

True dat.

2-1

Man C are spending about 20m a year on wages for players who don't even play for them. Adabackdoor 160,000 a week Bellamy 80,000 Bridge 100,000 and so on..

Might be surprised I have a feeling we might spend some money.

I think this fella is more likely - fallen out with coach.. But with the end of the Martin Jol Era early December, it seems to be the end of the (short) Mounir El Hamdaoui Era too. With the coming of Frank de Boer, Mounir El Hamdaoui only seems negative in the press. In Frank de Boer’s first game as head coach against AC Milan, he benched Mounir El Hamdaoui. The Moroccan wasn’t happy with the way he heard that news. De Boer has admit he should’ve done that in another way. But the way El Hamdaoui reacted was a bit too much. A bad start, followed by an early holiday for the no. 9 after a talk he had with Frank de Boer. When he came back on January 4, the doctor said he was suffering from illness and a knee injury. Even though this is the truth, it’s not really credible after what happened before his holiday.

22 year old from ajax? I thought he was more of a Ben Arfa type attacking mid than an out and out striker (ie what we need) not got much of a goal scoring record anyway looking at his stats Aye, and he is more a midfielder, and they paid like £13m or something for him just after they sold Huntelarr so can't see that happening. Either way he's not a proper goalscorer and not what we need like you said. More upfront now. 13 goals last season. Take your point however.

He was linked a couple of months ago and then it went quiet (Chronicle).

Lovely passing interchange. Delight to watch.

Heard a vague rumour that Pards is scouting Sulemanjani (sp?) in Holland.

Man City seriously lack character as a side. Came out 2nd half thinking they would just carry on strolling around. Manu just went up a gear. Done.

433 Sorted. . . . Wellington Kerlon Kerrrison

...and ting..

When you get in you have to stay in for at least 3 years to really cash in.

Good looking Brazilian boy? Get him in.

Lineker?

As I have said many times, the problem for todays premiership owner is that they know there is little point throwing big bucks at the team because it still wont get them anywhere near the Champions League / Big Rewards. Even getting into the Uefa cup is not worth the investment to get there. I dont like or agree with that attitude but I cant really see given the current set up how it will change. As AP points out, how are you really going to compete with clubs backed by sovereign states! Its just becoming less of an attractive gamble to throw money at it. Took Spurs 6 years to do it sensibly and even then a lot of money was spent...But they invested the Berbatov money and so on..

VanPoncey injured.

Would be ideal and can cover the center as well.

Think we'll sign two more.

Could be right about that.

Mancini was saying they still need 3 more players.
