If Parker is not being sold...


...why are the two players we have been linked with so far both central midfielders? Just a thought! My priority might be wide midfielders, full backs and a centre back or two. Oh and a forward or two if Ilan isn't hanging around. But no, Dorrans and Boateng are the names in the frame at the moment. Interesting.

i think we should try and get matty ethrington back. i think he has been brilliant at stoke. we should never of let him go in the first place. ive always rated him. also wat about belhadj from pompey. he looks a good player. and he probably wouldnt cost much.or n.zogbia and rodallega from wigan. or pedersen from blackburn. or ridgewell and larsson from birmingham

Stop it, just stop it.

I do wonder who made the decision to go for him though HF....if Zola doesn't want to get involved in transfers. It is a bit silly though trying to buy one of the best players from a team that has just been promoted to join you in the same division. Even if the club did want to sell him, their fans would be up in arms. Maybe we tried to tun his head. I don't like dirty tactics though. We've had a lot of hate on us since the Tevez/Sheff united thing and this amiability towards our club has only been recently restored, due in the main part to having such a nice and honourable guy as our manager (there's one benefit to him being nice HF!).

One positive thing is that we've started looking early.

I'd take Belhadj. Pedersen, she used to be ok a few seasons back but she's lost form badly. Plus she doesn't like staying on her feet. We should get O'Hara too.

Let's make a list for Sullivan. Feel free to add to it, I will when I have had a bit of a think:

Belhadj
O'Hara
Joe Hart
Eagles

...hmmm, interesting take Deane. You think that's what they did with our 100k a week striker? Then got Big M, Big McM and Ilan?

goals from midfield HF its what we need

Deane said...

goals from midfield? perhaps we could ask Lampard nicely and he'll come back and play for nothing cos he loves us (altho i suspect he may score the most own goals history)
also Stani haven't trusted anything the club has said since they sold Reo got my money back on that season ticket and boycotted the place till TB went (away games are much more fun anyway)

Tevez already mentioned, that he doesn't like Mancinis training methods and he would think about leaving the club if they don't play Cl next season.
Now we only have to beat em at the Boleyn and Sullivan has to sell tons of rubber dolls. I like daydreams :)

John said...

Probably because they intend to sell all the other midfielders except Parker. With the exception of maybe Noble and Collinson, not a bad idea

Stani Army said...

Yep, I wouldn't mind Bellamy back but I doubt he'd come back down. We probably missed him more than most. He got us those vital goals we could cling on to and was a good outlet from the back with Neil providing those perfect balls over the top to release pressure. He's another we missed.

Tevez will only return to us when he's 32 and out of contract because our clubs rate of progression won't catch up in time. Then again, you never know with these South Americans.

why are we all talking like we have a man city budget

T.I.S said...

lol why are we all talking like we'll raid Wigan! They outplayed us and are at present a better team than us. And why on earth is everyone assuming that EVERYONE will be sold, the general quote by Sullivan was 'everyone has a price', Man United would say the same thing in theory. In saying that though, I think 5 or 6 should definatly go: Spector, Upson, Ilunga (looks like he's lost interest completely), Gabbidon, Boa Morte & Dyer, who should accumilate around 8 million between them, then of course Mido, Franco & Ilan (who did save our skins but will be of little use next season). That in my opinion will be considered a good clearing of dead wood. Bring in a right back, left back, centre back, def mid, and 2 creative wingers, which in all should cost around 25 mill. :)
