They would make us pay through the nose for them. You could probably get Appiah and D'Allesandro for half as much. City hardly blew the bank for Benjani though, only £8 million or so I think once all extras have been paid, and seeing as he's been brilliant this season I don't see why Kranjcar or Muntari will cost much more. Benjani, despite having a good season, isn't actually that good though. He's 29 now and this is the first season he has a good goalscoring record, even in France he had an average record. Kranjcar and Muntari are much younger and much more talented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hopefully our team would look something like this next season: GKs: Given, Jussi Jääskeläinen, Tim Krul DL: Enrique, Nicky shory/Wayne Bridge DC: Taylor, Faye, Campbell DR: Beye, Faty, Wes Brown ML: Zogbia, Downing MR: Arshavin/Bentley, Milner MC: Barton (If he can sort out his problems), Carrick, Adrien, Albelda/Aimar ST: Owen (If he signs a new contract), Martins, Carroll, Crouch/Ashton/Cisse Know it's too much to hope for, but still.. would be sweet!

Mowen Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Potentially attainable targets who could be good for us, from the prem that I can think of: Agbonlahor, Carrick, Pennant, Bentley, Yobo, Kranjcar, Ireland, Santa Cruz, Doyle, Shorey, Bellamy, Ashton, Chimbonda, Nelsen, Samba, Muntari. Just off the top of my head. I'm well aware that most of those players currently are important to teams who are higher than us in the premiership, but ambition is essential this summer. If we're going to improve dramatically, we will find it very difficult without proven ability in this league. We are going to have to spend big to bridge the gap back to the European places, and we should have enough clout in the market that teams like Blackburn and Portsmouth will find it tough to hold on to their players should we come calling.
