That's from last year - doesn't count.

SAF with this buy contradicted himself from just last month!! Re Citybuy players - we develop them, that's the Utd way etc etc...

 

[sgt_pepper]

Some teams have more depth than others though, that's for sure

city have a pretty big advantage depth wise over anyone else i would say. and well distributed...

Ooneil - how do u see ManU set up now? 4-4-2?, 4-4-1-1 with Rooney in behind?

 

[ooneil]

No idea. We are not short of strikers but I think rooney sits in behind.

Doesn't make me sad, Wenger will only replace him if the money is right, and if he has a replacement lined up, which I think he does. By all reports Song also has had a very poor attitude of late, which we don't need around the club.

he was easily most consistent behind RVP last season. and its quite disappointing i think. in saying that hes dumb for leaving anyway as he wont break into their 11. with their tri circle of xavi iniesta and busquests. not that i rate busquets but they certainly do

'According to the specialist website Physioroom.com, in 2011-12 the Man City had only seven “significant injury episodes” in which a player could not play for at least 14 days. Meanwhile Manchester United, City’s closest challengers for the title, had 39 “significant injury episodes”, the worst record in the Premier League.'

Just reading what City do behind the scenes to help the team... that stat isn't bad luck and good luck... there's a bit about preparing players in there too. And age I guess. City have a pretty young team.

In other news - City have appointed Barcelona's old CEO Ferran Soriano as their new CEO - replacing the bumbling fool Garry Cook, who did do a lot for the club but put his foot in it plenty...

didnt wenger say he didnt need to replace him? says its not that big a deal because hes got plenty of choice. diaby and frimpong were two of the names i remember him mentioning. i dont rate frimpong, but diaby is pretty quality if he can stay fit...
and if he gets the $20 odd mill thats reported to be in the works i think its yet another fantastic bit of business by arsene.

Diaby in tonight, hopefully he has a bit of luck and stays injury free. Sahin in to replace Song.

Thats if you beat us to him

 

[sgt_pepper]

i heard he was set to go to anfield on loan, but arsenal asked him to wait and if song left they would buy him. sahin wants to play champs league so he agreed to hold off on the loan move.
not sure if any of it is true tho...

dempsey has been fined for refusing to play for fulham this weekend. apparantly he'll refuse next week aswell.
pathetic in my opinion. jol has said that there have been no offers for him, so its hardly the clubs fault...
