Official?

Injury free season and he will get over 30 goals.

Is his new team connected to West Brom? His name kept coming up on the advertising hoardings.

I honestly believe he is.

Yes it may be frustrating seeing Ivan on but changing to Mou out because of that is very extreme. Mou has his frustrations yes; but it would be nothing compared to having a Scolari Mark 2 in the dugout.

Cesc was good in an attacking sense today but defensively he's so poor its untrue, should have gone off instead of Pedro.

Brilliant brilliant striker

I know he only played little time but my god, he was hopeless.

Loved how he willed on the team while he was walking off, I know its one game but he really looks the part doesn't he?

Pellegrino system exposes even the best defenders.

He will be a shadow of himself under Pellegini, Kompany looks a shadow of the player of 2 years ago and Mangala isn't close to the clown he looked last season.

Brendan doesn't give two shits about the defensive side to the game, he made that clear in not just words but how he sets up his sides. I can understand attackers wanting to play for him but why on this earth would Lovren and Clyne want to trade Koeman for Rodgers? Especially the latter considering how close Saints got to finishing above Liverpool last season.

Imagine if Stones and Pogba don't come and instead Cahill and Ramires pen new 5 year deals?

When Lukaku signed for Everton, Costa's early form saved us endless moaning every time Romelu netted. Let's hope Pedro can do something similar here.

Was Ramires that much Better in 11/12? He was more of a go to guy then due to our team being very average, but the complaints on Rami now were still there back then, but he is a lot more restricted in his role now due to the fact there's much better players. He had more freedom in that season.

The way we played in the first half of last season, a lot was owed to his pressing game, when things were going well, like vs WBA at home, we completely swarmed all over them and amount of balls he nicked off the players to start up attacks was insane. He also last season scored 6 opening goals I think, nice habit to have. Will never be the star player but can defiantly work in a system or failing that be a decent squad player, because lets be fair, we are lacking them.

He hasn't hit the height we have hoped no, but he has done a lot more than fuck all.

The tv deal has made FFP an irrelevance in England, only a transfer splurge beyond anything seen in football before will see an top PL team in trouble.

Well tbf some people still shoot down any criticism of Torres by mentioning Barcelona, despite the fact he would have blown the whole tie for us if it weren't for Bosingwa.

As I said to Zansnake, the £64m on their account books from sales plus the tv deal will more than cover their transfers.

They have made £38m so far on sales, and with Jovetic and Dzeko there are contingent permanent sales that could be used for account purposes this season, so for the purposes of the account books at City, the sales figure could reach £64m.

Still no unless we replace him, the tv deal protects us from ffp(apparently we can spend £140m net and be fine) and if we sell him with no replacements were back to square one in terms of lack of depth, Moses and especially Cuadrado getting serious minutes will cost us big time.

He's never going to play, so doesn't really make any difference to us if he stays and kicks his heels at Cobham?

Well tbf Greenie has beaten them 3/4 but even with that there record vs Everton hasn't been very good down the years, especially at Goodison which Is relevant due to the game this weekend being played there.

Apart from Cuadrado I don't want any one to leave, Stones, Pedro and CM would boost our squad depth up no end. Hazard, Pedro, Willian and Oscar would be a good mix at AM, and if we want to challenge on all fronts 4 in 3 go together very easily and as critical as I am of Moses he will be Allright as an emergency 5th AM.
