Manchester City

[Reece]

Costel Pantilimon

Cool name

[Angryred]

Man City should have gone for Pelligrini as he can handle dressing room full of egos!

[Mostar]

Disagree. They have Kompany.

Their problems will be internal strife and Mancini.

Yaya Toure, Barry & De Jong are pretty much.

I just don't see any of them (Tevez to me is the only one they got but he'll be probably off) as leaders but I guess Kompany does get close to be considered one.

Patrick Vieira is Manchester City's football development executive.

What the **** is that role?

Manchester City can win Premier League - Patrick Vieira

Man City are starting to piss me off. Can't they **** off and be happy with what they got. They seem to be chasing every player, including our new target, Coates. When they just signed that Savic player who has potential.

i've highlighted the players that probably won't play for them this year

[yamiedo]

It's silly spending. It's like Mancini just wrote out a dream team and said I'm having that.

[red g]

thats 20 odd players on huge money. there wage bill must be horrific.

The sad thing is that just before the Sheikh came in they were getting quite a reputation for some fantastic young players none of them even get a look in nowadays.

When i typed that I wondered if Michael Johnson had dragged himself away from Greggs and yes apparently he signed for Leicester for a year, I missed that.

[Chazza]

Surprised no one has taken a punt on Onuoha

Did a decent job at Sunderland last year and cant imagine his wages are too high

[Shaggy]

Yeah I think he's handy too. More than handy.

[GTi]

We should be in for Adam Johnson IMO.

[Roboklopp]

[red g]

Onuaha is quality saw him a few times for Sunderland last year.

I think JAgielka will go to Arsenal and Everton will get him on loan for a year.

I think the likes of VIlla/everton/Sunderland are all waiting for Cities cast offs !!!

[yamiedo]

The thing is if a young player starts getting a reputation, City are always in on the act. I suppose its up to us to spot them earlier than that. Before they blow up. Easier said than done. They don't seem willing to sell their players to their big club rivals either. I'm starting to despise them.

[RichC]

forgot about Onuaha, good player from when I've seen him
