I realy dont think so. I mean, of course not. Roman realy wants the CL, and its a big deal for him maybe, but I just dont think it is THAT of a big deal like the media says it is.

I think we did more than great. Look at City, I know they wasnt in the same position before the take over(we were in the top 4, they were in the mid table), but still, look at the players they purchased, look at their squad. And with all that they won one FA cup, when we won back to back titles and an FA cup in 3 seasons. As for the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 seasons- yes in those years we kind a underachieved, our team was better than just an FA cup. But we underachieved in those two seasons becasue of two reasons(has been said before in this topic): 1. Roman's ego(the sack of Mourinho). 2. Bad luck(CL final, and than ridiculous referee against us). So those years were a bit painful for us. But it happens in football. But overall, it amazes me of what did we become, 3 PL titles, 3 FA cups, 2 League Cups, and of course great performances in the CL inculdes a CL final that went to penalties. So we should have won the CL, I think in one of the 08/09 or 07/08 seasons(i cant agree about 04/05 when Liverpool would have got a peneltey if the Phantom goal wasnt allowed, and Cech would have got a red card. And for the 03/04... nah, werent good enough). But it we'll come. Just think that the great Barcelona won their first only in 1992! Think that Fergie's United, "only" won it 2 times. With their amazing number of league titles, two isnt an amazing number of CL's in 20 years. Look at Inter Milan who waited 50 years I think to win it for the second time... We did great in all fronts imo. And it will be even better, if not right now so in a couple of years with Boas...

So we did founded in 2003 like they all say all the time?

WE need to try to purchase him, not Spuds :mellow: I actaully still belive we'll at least try to get him... was very disappointing to enter this topic and see its about spuds...

YToure playing as a AMF for City. They playing this midfield: De Jong---Milner/Bari ----- YToure-------- But yeah, still very defensive. Thats Mancini. I think there squad will be perfect(on paper) with somone like Sneijder instead of Milner, and than YToure will play the role he needs to play, 50/50. But who fucking cares...

Now it looks like he's staying at Inter. Inter are ready to sell Samuel Eto'o to Anzhi Makhachkala, so they wouldnt have to sell Wesley. They need money and the sale of Eto'o wiil probably bring them enough of it. Nothing is close though..

He isnt just a left back, he can play as a left winger, and he as great technics and great shots... scored the first two goals for Uruguay in the Copa America. I think we can realy use him cause Malouda isnt realy consistent. Look at his position when he playes for Uruguay :

Source?

Thats what so annoying in this trasnfer window... we need just two good signings, winger+midfielder, and we are not weaker than any team in the world. I dont know about THE best squad, because you have Barca and Real.

LOL Youre like a little girl Dont be so sensitive about things other people on intenet are saying, its pathetic.

zolayes I explained my self very well like four or five times, and I think you still didnt get all of what im saying. Try to read my posts more carefully. Its all there.

Your post was stupid from one reason only, you said: "I don't care what formation we play or what we call it BUT we desperately need a genuine right wing " Its seemed like you dont know what diamond says, it says we wont need a right winger because we wont play him. So when you are saying: "I don't care what formation... but we must buy one". it sounds stupid and like you dont know much about football.

Wow, I didnt thought you will be that offended by what i said earlier... Im SO sorry!

Again, and I explained that in my original post, I want us to play 4-3-3 like you, but Im saying that with our CURRENT squad, we cant play too good the 4-3-3 becuse we dont have a good right winger, and our left winger isnt doing well lately. So maybe, Boas want to play diamond, maybe not. Will see if we'll buy a winger..

I'll say again, we still can buy a right winger, but if we wont buy one, my guess is that he wants to play the diamond. And imo its the best option with our current squad, As long as Sturridge cant show he can play in the right wing. He's goal aganist the Chinese was impressive, but apart from that move and couple of more shots to goal when he's coming from the right wing last season, he hasnt show it enough. As for the diamond we played in Carlo first year, there is a big differens, now we have Yossi and Sturr(and maybe Modric) who can play behind strikers. With Carlo we tryed Joe, Lamps and Malouda, none of them can play good enough in this role. There is no reason that we cant play this formation. We have many CMF's and many strikers... and now we have Daniel and Yossi who in my opinion will be great in this role.

The season began and I didnt noticed?

What a stupid post. If we're going play in the diamond formation we wont play with wingers. So we wont need a new right or left winger.

I think Boas going to play the Diamond. I dont know, we are waiting all summer and we dont hear any name of a winger. I think Boas is counting on Torres and Drogba, and now he brings a young and a realy promesing stirker becuase he need two strikers for every game, and maybe he understood Kalou and/or Anleka are rubbish. Imo he going to play this: ---------Benayoun/Sturridge---- Torres/Lukaku--Drogba/Anelka/Kalou We dont need a new winger if we play the diamond. And if Modric will come, he will play behind the strikers. I hope im wrong becuase its hard to play from the middle in today's football and mostly in the PL.

Count to ten, and than read manpe's post.

This. About City in the CL, I think they REALY lack of leaders. I mean they need more players with experience. They wont get too far(Semi-final) without any along with Toure and Tevez if he stays.

------------------Cech-------------- Bosingwa - Luiz - Terry - Cole Lampard--Remi/Obi/Ess---Modric-- Hulk----------DD/FT---------Malouda I belive. But lets just say my belief is useless in this particular situation.... I would try this: ----Same Midfield as last saeson--- ------------Sturridge/Yossi------------ -----Drogba-------------Torres We wont have a real wing play without a new proper winger, so I think it will be better for us to play on the quality of Yossi and Sturr, and off course Drogba and Torres in a partnership that lets hope, will work with Boas. I want us to play with wingers, but its not that bad option, there are teams who play this way, like AC Milan.

I mean it will be stupid to do it now, because it will be even harder for Josh to progress with another midfielder on his spot.

But why bringing an 18 year old creative midfielder when we have Josh? Its stupid.

Now that Zhirkov is out, Modric, Hulk and Bastos in.

You think he's a CM because Carlo played him as a CM most of last season(after Torres came), and AVB played him as a CM so far except one game that he realy played as a winger(and wasn't bad at all). Kind a sad you got 5 'Likes' for this post. Not that you said somthing that is so awfully wrong, but Five people? try to think things through people. Look at our formation before the game maybe...
