iseah100 5,612 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Atletico Madrid have made a bid for Club America striker, Raul Jimenez. This would be a GREAT deal. Jimenez has so much potential, he's only 23. Next Hugo Sanchez? Reddish-Blue and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,503 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Great signing. Improvement on Boruc for sure. Soton will be alright this season.They still need another CB..maybe Virgil Van Dijk (Celtic) who can play CB or RB if needed The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Their defence or should I say defending was shocking the last time they ran away with the league in 12/13. City's defence last season was far from stellar also even though statistics makes it look better than it actually is.One thing i have learned in recent times is offense wins you the premier league title rather than defence. Our failure to win the league last season is further proof that a devastating attack is highly important in title challenge. Your defence has to be absolutely terrible (bottom of the league or pub team terrible to truly matter in the end if you have the best attack/offense in the league)tell that to arsenal or pool. city's defence was pretty good in the 2nd half of the season. city conceded 16 goals in their last 20 matches keeping 10 clean sheets and THAT was the time they won the league. not when they were conceding 3 goals to cardiff and villa at the start of the season. a proper defence is as important as a devastating attack (maybe even more). and we are proof of that. dzeko, negredo and aguero scored 42 PL goals in them compared to 19 goals from etoo, ba and torrid (less than half) and still it was barely a difference of 4 points. what a team needs is balance in attack and defence. city had that last season while we dint. our attack was very 1D against the lower teams and we had a hard time breaking them. i expect that to change this season.

Surprised he didn't make the WC squad tbh. Maybe a PL move is what he needs. The only place to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickpassnmove 924 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Are the rumours on Joel Campball true? I wouldn't mind buying him if Arsenal don't want him. Strong, accurate passer, good shot and I feel he will definitely improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Took long enough. Lot of people think he's vastly overrated but I think he'll become an excellent player and signing for City.Ridiculously overpriced though. Porto just announced to the stock exchange to have received €30.5m for 56.7% of Mangala's rights so in total City paid around €54m for Mangala.That equals almost 43 million pounds.

Didn't know it was that much. I thought it was the £32m that was rumored. Even that is way overpriced. £43m...Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
