Mole_Toonfan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yeah, i don't rate Lescott as high as some people on here but he's been great for City although his transfer fee was ridiculous but City don't give 2 shits about that. As for Barry he fulfills the role Mancini asked of him last season fantastically well, he might not be very special but he does his job well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ...but the point is they could have signed virtually anybody in world football, they settled for the above average Lescott. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ...but the point is they could have signed virtually anybody in world football, they settled for the above average Lescott. They couldn't at that time, they wasn't in Europe to attract the top players. Yes they had the money but without Europe ( especially CL) you ain't getting nowhere. As far as attracting the players you are talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 does anyone know a site that lists all the official transfers so far this summer by club? http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/premier-league/transferuebersicht/wettbewerb_GB1.html Good to look through passed years as well. Like any site, use your own judgement, but over the years they've seem pretty on the ball imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 yeah but they paid stupid cash for poor-average players or headcases (Adebayor in particular on this front) he should have stuck with what he was doing, solid sensible signings at reasonable fees like Kompany and Zabaletta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 How in the f***ing f*** have QPR got Mbia? How? How in the f***ing how?!?!? Money. M'Bia is a very talented footballer and a physical monster, but not all there mentally. He still makes some very questionable decisions on the pitch, is prone to major errors, and has a poor attitude at times. He's still a massive improvement over Clint Hill. Temperamental, highly paid, and a mercenary; the perfect QPR player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Remember when we were linked with him, ages ago. Was he at Rennes before? Can't remember exactly. Yes, Rennes. I specifically remember we were linked to Albin Ebondo of Toulouse and M'Bia, but in the end signed Nolan and Ryan Taylor at a much lower price. The masses were displeased. It was another event in that depressing January where we lost N'Zogbia and Given. Marseille signed him for twelve million euro, anyway, back when we had money. I don't think he was ever worth that personally, so it was good to stay away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Gaston Ramirez to Southampton, £11.8m accepted. Decent player, not sure if he's cut out for the Premiership though. Seen him on a few occasions and been impressed with some parts of his game, has a beast of a left foot on him. Thought he looked a bit slow and maybe not dynamic enough for the Premier Leauge. Also listed to BBC WFPI where Tim Vickery, who's seen loads of him, said he didn't think he'd suit the Premier League at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
