Toure, Lescott and Terry to City for £100m?

[Craig_H]

Well i think Arsenal geting 45m for Toure and Adebayor has actually strengthened them

10m on Brett Hangelaand and 35million left for a Striker nice business

They didnt get £20m for Toure, did they?

[Shaggy]

£16m according to the local news.

[Craig_H]

So £25m for Adebayor and £16m for Toure.

The board will probably let Wenger spend about £10m of that.

Given
Richards Toure Dunne Lescott
Barry De Jong
Ireland Tevez Robinho
Adebayor

Am i missing anyone?

Lescott isn't coming there to play left back. He'll play with Toure in the middle, and Onouha is ahead of Dunne in the pecking order as is Kompany. Bridge will play left back.

[Shaggy]

This is the team I knocked up earlier...

Given

Richards/Onuoha
Toure
Lescott
Bridge

Kompany
Barry

Ireland
Tevez
Robinho

Adebayor

With these in reserve: Onuoha/Richards, Dunne, De Jong, Wright-Phillips, Elano, Petrov, Santa Cruz, Bellamy, Bojinov etc etc......

[Craig_H]

To be fair, it's anyone's guess what that buffoon does with that lot.

[Shaggy]

In fairness he does have a number of players who could play in several positions. Lots of versatility - it'll be interesting to see his preferred idea.

[JohnDoe]

Actually, it's pretty clear cut. I'd be very surprised if they don't line up like what Shaggy suggested for the first game of the season (only change is De Jong for Kompany).

It's a very strong team, on par with Arsenal and maybe better because they have a decent spine there.

[Joey Jones]

City have just bid £19m for Lescott.

Nice. That's Everton's defence ****ed.

Here's hoping Worf hands in a transfer request.

[Shaggy]

Sauce?

Breaking news on SSN.

[Craig_H]

Lots of people are forgetting the difficulty in getting a virtually new team to adjust and gel together quickly. Plus, having so many options could be quite confusing for a relatively inexperienced coach.
