thenige Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 All bets are off as far as I'm concerned. That player we nicked off Liverpool shows that plans can change literally overnight and the fact the club sometimes has a way of signing players without much media/fan talk beforehand gives me the belief we're not done yet. Even if we get only 1 new striker and Enrique stays we're in a far better position than we were in May. Hear hear! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I think it's fairly obvious how the club is being run Cheap/free buys and sell if a decent offer comes in. Very little ambition. It's all about surviving and being happy in mid table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I hope he won't mind me posting this, from Toontastic: Just heard some ITK stuff from the horse's mouth, and the basic message is do not get excited for the rest of the window (plans are to get a striker in and that's it. They are a mile away in valuation for this Erdinc or whatever he's called). Enrique basically isn't even speaking to the club at this stage, and they are hoping that him and Barton will attract bids later in the window - not much interest for Enrique to date. And they would love to hold on to Tiote for another year (such ambition!), but if the right offer comes in....which isn't a surprise. I'm sure we heard all this the season we got relegated as well. That we'd sell everyone, wouldn't spend in the January window etc. Not that I think we are going to be making more than one big transfer though. It all depends on who the striker whether we will have had a good window or just so so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW1983 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm still confused as to who the 'Horses mouth' is in this respect. probably the duke of wellington Its only just opened up again and its already giving out ITK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Would be pissed off if we lost Jose/Barton and didn't replace them but if we get a striker in then I'll be please. Not exciting but stronger than last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Be interesting to know how the club was sold to Cabaye, Ba & Marveux. If it was sold on false promises this reputation we've built up in France will surely soon begin to evaporate. On a separate note if we don't want to spend money we should surely be at least looking to the loan Market to bolster our paperthin squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our squad is thin (outside a good 1st 11) and the bench weak how long do they keep buying, 'next transfer window/next season' stories. Doubly worse if we sell the likes of Tiote as soon as a 15m bid comes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 £7m Gael sparks Bridge Toon bid Published: 02 Jul 2011 Add a comment Add a comment (0) MANCHESTER CITY hope £7million Gael Clichy will be theirs by Tuesday's start of pre-season training. The capture of the Arsenal left-back is likely to hasten the exit of ex-England ace Wayne Bridge, 30, who is wanted by Newcastle.

oldtype Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 We've done every stupid thing in the books since Ashley bought the club, but we haven't really been in the business of signing overpriced, over-the-hill players excluding that first summer.

TRon Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 not bloody likely with his wages unless its a loan with them covering half the wages which also isn't likely. I would imagine he'd drop his wages for first team football and City don't need him. Sadly I can see us looking at him as a short term solution with Taylor liked up to take over with a year's experience behind him. I hope I'm wrong but this looks like a realistic possibility for me.
