Hatch Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Last summer they were buying everyone at stupid prices , on the promise of Champions League football. Now, if they finish 4th and actually are in the Champions League I can see them making ridiculous bids for the likes of Gerrard , Torres, Cesc and so on. They could win the league next year, Can I get odds on that yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Wouldn't be shocked to see Torres at Man City next season. They should probably think about signing a decent goalkeeper first though, wouldn't be at all suprised if Mancini has an eye on Buffon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Given is easily good enough IMO, they need some world class CB's to complement a decent front line and half decent midfield. I would expect them to purchase a big name midfielder and a big name CB. But yeah, i agree Hatch, i would be interested in putting my money on the table now.

Andy_Porter Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 I think they will go for a centre back as well, I was suprised they didn't in January Toure hasn't looked the same player since he contracted malaria. I do think half their defensive problems come from Given he is one of the best shot stoppers in the world but he's poor from crosses and doesn't command his box at all which makes the defenders play deeper and deeper and eventually panic into making mistakes. It was the same at Newcastle, they spent so much money on centre backs only for them to end up being very poor and then eventually picking up again when they left Newcastle and it seems to be repeating itself at City. Given is the sort of keeper that makes the routine saves look amazing, I would rather have Joe Hart in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 I have never really looked at it like that but i suppose that is a very valid point. I have always thought he is pretty good arially however yeah i can agree that he is not good at crosses and although he seems to communicate well i suppose the points you make about the defenders both at City and Newcastle are valid ones.

Hatch Posted 16 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Paddy Power offered me a stingy 13/2 on Man City winning the league. Was hoping to get at least 10 or 12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
