Guest The Libertine Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Taylor > Duff Nolan > Geremi Could have been worse, could have been better. is Taylor better than Duff on the wing? he certainly isn't better than N'zogbia. Horrible window yet again Really..a player from Bolton and one from wigan?? Shows how low our expectations are..buying off clubs around us.. Yep should have signed Lampard and Ronaldo. No one's asked for massive signings FFS Just an improvement on our squad I think we have done that. we have. but most people made their minds up months ago that we havent. In what way do you feel we've improved the squad? given wanted out and handed in a transfer request. little we can do about that. harper is a more than adequate replacement and is free. £6 million up + big wages gone. just a loss/a draw at best. n'zogbia WAS NEVER GOING TO PLAY FOR US AGAIN. lovenkrands WILL PLAY FOR US. £6 million up. win by default. nolan is better than butt, smith, geremi and is far more reliable than barton. win. taylor plays in many positions and is a decent squad player (squad depth innit). win. overall, improvement. not a huge one but an improvement. Every striker we have is carrying some kind of injury.. We only have two fit fullbacks ..... (I include Taylor in that) We have very little creativity from the middle of the park. There is no real pace in the team apart from Oba. Too many injured players, 17 year old untried kids on the bench. FFS man! we arent man city. we have essentially zero money so we weren't going to hugely improve the way most expected/demanded. But we did have money apparently two £8 mill bids knocked back. But we fucked up so badly or intentionally that we didn't spend it. Hope we don't regret it come April if the money was there then surely kinnear should be getting it in the neck? he's been banging on about wanting money and his bidding for players for weeks.

Guest Stephen927 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Still don't know why we've left it until just today to put a bid in for Michael Johnson, when we've been talking with City representatives for a couple days now about Given.

Syrette Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Not sure about that, why would Man City want to keep him? Then again it's not like they need the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 If they wanted a player from city they should not allowed Given to leave until it was agreed he was coming to us also like the Wigan deal. Its complete nonsense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 For the record this isn't defending the club, this window has been a disappointment, we needed more bodies but the business we have done hasn't been two bad. You can criticise the sales of Zoggy and Shay all you want but at the end of the day they wanted to leave, we cannot afford to carry passengers in the current situation. Nolan is average, but he's a body while I think Lovenkrands and Taylor will come in handy during the current injury crisis. It's key to remember we have players returning from injury as well. Has to be said though I do agree with the whole if we wanted Johnson why didn't we use him as a bargaining chip school of thought. Completely ignored why they wanted to leave. Given because he's sick of the club consistently being mired in the s*** and N'Zogbia because he spat his dummy out when our manager mispronounced his name?

We are also not Darlington, our owner has got a few bob and I know he has put a lot of money into the club already, however when we go down........... he'll be wishing he'd spent in January. he doesnt have as much money as you want him to have. i realise it was too late, but he did bid £16 million for 2 midfielders and we have been bidding for players throughout the window. how good kinnear is at "doing deals" should also be questioned. If we'd really been bidding for players all month (which I seriously doubt) we should have done better in the window and Ashley appointed Kinnear, (which imo was also a mistake).

Guest ObaStar Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 ok Kinnear said that he was almost certain he would get 2 more players in today plus taylor.

Guest LucasUnger Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 1745: "We don't want to sell our young players," a Man City spokesperson told BBC Sport a few moments ago when asked about Michael Johnson. Also, we can confirm that there was no movement whatsoever between Man City and Blackburn over a potential deal for Roque Santa Cruz today. The last contact those clubs had over the striker was last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Waiting for the final word from the club. Until then ... They blatantly had 4 players signed just 2 hours ago? Just ignore him, does this every window; an absolute joke of a human being. Now now, thats a bit OTT and nasty. All I've done is hope for the best. Haven't claimed to be ITK or nothing. Till that final word comes in I'll keep hoping, but that's just me though. No point folks taking their anger out on me.
