Apparently Silva and/or Nasri may not start. Kompany probably won't either. We could have a real chance to win this with Mata also hopefully playing. I think RDM will pick Ramires again on the RW instead of Marin/Hazard...

With Moses on his way surely Malouda must go?

With Lukaku being loaned out this becomes more possible/likely. We definitely need another CF or player who can play as one. Is the supposed £35 million for Cavani including Meireles? It would be a very good buy considering that Horse of a Man Andy Carrol was also £35 million

I want this to be reported by more reliable sources. Then we will know if there's real interest. The Meireles deal could make this possible.

You need to work on your sarcasm.........

How could you not know what 'jk' means...

All in all a good double deal. Azpilicueta and Moses. Hope we still go for Cavani though.

If we got Cavani...my god it's great to think about

Sooooo.....Are we getting him?

Torres Hazard Mata Marin 4-2-3-1

Is Marin available?

Still Cap...? STILL?

He's a good player but Overrated and not on the level of Mata. He is 27 so won't get too much better.

Yes...'sound like'

...Why?

Same as Spike.

He's a Scot. He should be able to do it in 30 minutes flat.

Yes! The world is safe now as Ryan can lead Humanity to new levels by passing his school tests!

Fair enough

I wouldn't say we're beggers...not anymore.

What a fucking idiot. As much as Scousers are scum, you don't go and get a Tattoo about the Hillsborough disaster

I'll call it now. If RDM parks the bus against City, he won't be our manager start of next season.

Wasn't RDM going to give Mata a long break? I remember hearing he'd be given a break until early September?

I don't think we're quite as strong as City. Nor are we settled enough. Nor do we have Mata (I'm assuming) and Oscar for this. Too many question marks over us at this point and our pre-season results don't fill one with confidence. I would love to win this to get a confidence boost that we can take into the season. Of course, the shield is silverware and Silverware is worth winning but this is one of the less significant competitions so it won't matter too much. I forsee a comfortable win for City. Something in the range of 3-1. I hope we can come out of 2nd gear and really give them a game. Going out and giving a good display is almost more important than the result.
