whelk Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Man City's relative underachievement could be argued to be a result of their lack of character shown by the likes of Nasri, Tevez etc. who clearly care about themselves far more than the team.

S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Sky sources understand Sheffield United have agreed a £500,000 fee for Leeds striker Billy Sharp. Nigel does like a bit of Billy Sharp. Great signing for a L1 club anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsIRL Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 So we need a centre half to replace Tobi. A midfielder to replace Morgan (inevitable). And a winger to replace Elia. We've added Cuco and Juanmi to the squad; and we have Jay-Rod back, so we'll definitely be stronger squad wise next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would that be...?? He's a managerial, tactical genius. That masterclass he put on in their final game against Stoke was to be seen to be believed.

S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Barcelona's new midfield playmaker Arda Turan has said it will be tough not being able to play until January due to a ban on the club registering players. FIFA banned Barca from two transfer windows after they were deemed to have broken rules on the signing of foreign under-18 players. "It's going to be hard not playing for six months but I will work until I am able to make my debut in January," Arda said. The whole transfer ban **** is an utter sham. if you have a transfer ban, it's a transfer ban. Stock piling players you can't play for months is utterly, utterly ridiculous and at the detriment of the player. That has got to be looked at.

Window Cleaner Posted 9 July, 2015 Share Posted 9 July, 2015 (edited) this Might not have really seized upon the fact that a palliative throw away reply to a leading question would be treated like something that Moses found on Mount Sinai (or wherever it was) Toby is a Belgian, football probably isn't a religion there. As I've said before, any that take footballer's comments and statements overly seriously are always in line for disappointment.

I don't think it's unreasonable to wish for a couple of feelgood exciting signings like Mane and Toby from last year (and Jay Rod, Clyne, Victor etc from previous windows.) Would be good for the club for supporters to go into the season excited by some of the new faces. I would still quite like an exciting attacking player signed myself but would be content with a top CB and DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
