Billy Castell 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Re Fish: Been linked to Zigic again, so that'll be our big signing if its true (he's 6 foot 7). Not sure as he has scored 13 goals in 16 games for Racing Santander whilst on loan, but can also play like he's smoked a kilo of weed and has motor neurone disease. The Sun says we want an Austrian called Erwin Hoffer, also a striker and Chamakh, the Ukrainian striker at Bordeaux. The latter however, is also linked to your neighbours, and Arsenal who are is 1st choice. These are the rumours, and here are the deals that have officially been done: IN: Van Heerden (winger) Nzonzi (def. midfielder) Jacobsen (right back) Givet (left back/central def. and bargain) A 16 year old Greek keeper. We also have a work permit for David Holiett a 19 year old striker who is supposed to be promising. Scored quite a few goals for St. Pauli in Krautland. OUT: Roque Mistranslated (part time Paraguayian radio DJ) Aaron Mokoena (Lumbering lumberjack) Matt Derbyshire (Striker) And some have probably been released, but I can't remember all of them. Re Parklife: All the bookies have us about 7/1, 9th or 10th favourites. William Hill has you at 16/1 to be relegated again, but you're way down the list.

Winnipeg Toon 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I can't see Hughes getting fired any time soon. Man City were god-awful much of last season, spend the Holiday fixtures in the relegation zone and yet they still kept him on board. If City are not in Europe at the end of this season, then I could see the Arab consortium letting him go, but no sooner. Not a bad manager, though, to my way of looking at things. City could do a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Richard Kimble 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 At least is some competition for Chelski and the other ghunters. Actually it'll be a nice change to sit with a Metaxa watching someone coping with a spending Fiesta, especially now the English game has crested.

Billy Castell 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Don't remind me of Given. We had him but then you bastards poached him. I was, and will always be gutted we didn't ship out Flowers and gave him the number 1 shirt. I remember seeing him on loan for the makems and thinking "fucking hell, he's going to be brilliant". £1.5m was painful and a pittance. We have had good goalies since then, and sadly Alan Fettis who can't be described as a goalie at all, but I'll always like Given. Only Friedel has filled that void.

acrossthepond 896 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Re Fish: Been linked to Zigic again, so that'll be our big signing if its true (he's 6 foot 7). The Big Sam way. But seriously, he's class. Doubt you will get him however. Or Chamakh, he'll surely go to Arsenal now that Adebayor's on his bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City could do a lot worse. I disagree. Big cheques----->big expectations----->no patience and he's already had his period of grace last season. I'd expect them to take the same approach as Abramovich....the only question is whether he'll get as long as Christmas if it's not going well. imho of course.

Think he'll last the season out personally, after that the decision will be made depending on where they finish. He has said that the requirement is top 6, I think they'll do that no probs. Just need a couple of defenders, they have the 2nd best keeper in the league already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charvski 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 sorry to be pedantic but surely chamakh is Moroccan unless I am thinking of someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Apparently he is. I think I got him mixed up with a player who played for Dynamo Kiev and was from Uzbekistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
