Who cares if Hazard is top 23 or not...as long he performs here, I will be just happy.

Kompany is brilliant but he will never leave City to another pl team...one of few city players that is actualy loyal.

Guy is 187cm and 84kg, thats skinny?

I think in second game, he played together with Modric and then was replaced with Khedira in the end, the game of Madrid got much better after that with Khedira-Modric for last 10/15mins. Alonso looked very tired in that game...So yeah he would be awesome short term option (he is also cool lad) but then what? We would need to rebuild core of team again with someone new. I dont know, if Mou wants him, Im all for it, but its not necessary to work perfectly similar to Etoo case... --- Still Xabi said many times he is happy in Madrid and wouldnt want to return to PL, if he had to it would be Lpool, I just dont see him coming here, but then again, Pirlo went from milan to Juve too...and Mou is good pal with Xabi (werent they together in summer match between Chelsea and Real Madrid in America tour?)

Well, you have plenty of options nowdays, brazil is finaly looking like good old brazil Except for striker, you have big names like Pato, Damiao or Fred but they are all just above average. However as long it works for you, thats great. As for Costa, he would fit good in your team, but my opinion on all this is that Felipe called him back then for those friendlies and then just forget about him during Conf cup and brought Fred and Jo(?!) instead. Its not like they would be world class, while Costs was actualy inform. Anyway then Spain showed up with interest and Brazil did right after just because of spain. So I see no reason why should you guys be pissed about Costa, its Brazil NT fault to not call him earlier. I wont ever get why Felipe calls up many relatively unknown brasil serie a players (that dont even play much once they get call), but he leaves the likes of Willian, Fernandinho, Costa or even Felipe Luis or Hulk wait so long to get call.

Lol imagine we somehow get Alonso and Lewa both on FREE in summer One can dream...

He was more mobile in the past is what I wanted to say. But he was also main reason why Madrids midfeld was overrun by Bvb midifeld last CL. He couldnt realy keep up with high pressing midfield from Bvb. And one more thing, he aint long term solution to our midfield, I would rather get someone who will stick with us for more years, because we will just gel with Alonso and then he will be too old and we will need to start over again. And after injury he just had, who knows how is his fitness... But short term and if free, he would be great. A leader aswell.

Oh thanks, my bad

He is brilliant technicaly, but he doesnt have energy, power, pace he used to have in past...also coming from injury, his fitness is even more questionable. But for free its a no-brainer...

Well Thiago, Rafinha and Rodri were also born in brazil, but are now playing for spain... Except for Rafinha, Im not sure he actualy played for either of them on pro level?

I dont know why would he only be squad player? With more games given (talking about 20+), he will further develop and he clearly can put shift in games against bigger sides. But at Chelsea, he is marked as sub and Mou wont even realy test him I guess... This lad aint there yet, but you cant expect too much development from man who isnt being given enough time.

I would rather get someone who is more allround, Witsel or Bender...Matuidi is very good DM though. And city interested? Seriously? Is there a player in who they are not?

Mario is class, but very inconsistent and when he has bad game, he makes stupid things that cost whole team. Just recently, Milan lost mostly because Mario was playing bad but still wanted everything by himself. Still, young and if he gets his head fixed, Im sure he will be world class. I could easily see him here one day though, he likes Jose and doesnt realy give shit about Man City either...but he probably wont care too much for Chelsea aswell, much like Zlatan; brilliant everywhere, but unloyal.

I would say buy him in summer 2015 when Cole realy departs or this summer and loan him back to soton for one more season. But right now, he is too young to play for us regulary, he is bloody 17 yet, however playing very good for Soton already.

I hope Mou can transform him from LW into RW. Schurrle does realy good in defensive actions at RW already, but is little lost in attacks.

Ok squad depth, but Willian for 30mio? He has been nothing more than rotation option and under Mou I doubt he will be anything more. Hazard and Willian are similar players and Mou likes some hard trackers on wings aswell. And its not that. We bought Moses for squad depth. And Kdb. And Schurrle. And Willian. And we have Mazacar trio. And then we loaned out Moses. And now we dont even play Kdb anymore. We buy buy buy and dont even use them. And our youth gets loaned all the time. And if you look for squad depth, you buy experienced players who accept to stay on fucking bench. Not some young players who NEED to play to develop and decide to leave if they dont play. See the point? We have no fucking plan and hopefuly under Mou, things will change, but I still dont get why he bought Willian for 30!mio. Same money as Hazard damn.Besides Im going to tell you something about squad depth and extra spending. Real and Barca are proof. Real is buying players every year, they won nothing and spend hundreds of millions. Barca basicsly had super small bench but won everything. City was spending like mad and they won nothing. Its not squad depth we do, its crazy spending with short time sucess because then all players who dont play get angry and break good team environment.

Vidal is a fucking beast. If there is one player I would love to see here its him. Why people jump on that cunt Yaya while Vidal is better and CAN actualy defend. What is best at him, is his endless fight, never give up spirit. Big game or small, this guy is just like Ramires, warrior to the end. But he is juve through and through, doubt money would be only problem to ever see him at Sb...

Why the fuck do we buy players if we cant make long term sucess? I get feeling we buy them just because they are cool and others are interested and we dont want them have such good players. Willian is another example. We need good working right winger. Willian is all about flair. Why did we splash 30mio for? A bench player? Or just because Spurs were interested? Sell Kdb to Borrussia and regret that move, but if he wont get time here, its better for him to be sold. Also we signed Mata and it turned to be fantastic buy, maybe best in last 5 years, yet he is benched and about to be sold. Luiz as well, today we played big game and he was benched. He is good but does Mou have no trust in Luiz to prefer Cahill for this big game? How about Azpilicuta? Last year, he was starter and did realy great, this year, we Mou uses him little to none. Bertrand two years ago. Had great finale and could suceed if we played him more, but decided to keep playing Cole who got exhausted. Lukaku. Giving all other strikers chance, but not him and constantly loaning him. Same for Sturridge. If you buy promising player, you must have faith in him. Keep playing him, he will learn and get better. He will grow with team. Even if it costs you 10 points. We are in transition anyway. If that player suceeds, your trust is fullfiled and the reward is priceless. You get young player who will play for years and years and bring you best to team. That is how clubs develop talents. Take a look at Bvb. Stability, trust and time. In our club, we have no stability (keep changing managers), no trust (oh played bad one game, you wont play anymore, you go on loan and we will keep play Torres or Ba or xyz flop) and finaly we give no time because we want to rebuild team in one season. If we want to put young players in the team, we must sacrifice results. Until that changes, our talents (bought or raised) will never suceed here. Why we bought Van Ginkel if we are now looking for another CM? Why Moses just to loan him to Liverpool later? Why Oscar AND Mata who both play same position and cant play together?

Why should I listen to you, everyone has his own opinion. Oscar will probably never have that creativity that Mata has. Never. But Oscar is more complete player and could achieve bigger things and become better player. But as for passing, vision or sheer creativity goes, Mata is much better. At age 21, Mata was already big star in La liga, scoring and assisting on regular basis and he was actualy better than Silva at same age. But Mata is very uncomplete and thats why he isnt useful as Silva or Oscar.

I realy forgot this guy actualy Could be great DM in 4:3:3 system, but he doesnt even play for Valencia in liga...

No matter how much can Oscar and Eden link, Mata and Eden did it much better. Oscar is different mould of player, he doesnt posses same vision of Mata and cant make double passes with Hazard that well. As for Eden, he needs to step up in big games. He is the flair guy, the dribbler, our Ribery/Ronaldo/Bale. When nothing goes right, he must be the guy who pushes our team forward. It will be hard, but Mourinho needs to tell him that now. He is 22 and will need to pull strings alone. Would be great to see completely solo goals by Eden on regular basis, he hasnt done that yet.

Doesnt look good at all. In pre season, Kdb was like next player that will Mou build around, now he doesnt even make the bench. He was amazing last year with werder and preseason, he sure has the talent to at least get some play time. But if this goes on, he will lose confidence and he needs play time ahead of WC to play for Belgium...Mou will 90% loan him out in january or sell him.

Massively underrated player.

Both Eden and Oscar werent creative enough, if Oscar realy wants to be playmaker, he will need some experience to achieve that. Few brilliant passes arent enough, he needs to control the game, hold on the ball, search for open players, create the attack. But he will learn, as he is very young for such important role. His vision is good but has to improve further. But overall, Oscar did well of the ball, his defensive work was good (considering City is realy physicaly strong side).

Now we only need Lars Bender to complete our team. Germans are awesome.
