CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm very excited about City signing Navas. How epic would it be to see Moses vs Jesus on the left flank when we play them next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Right, so they've looked to have signed Jesus Navas (or about to anyway) for around £19m plus around £4m in variables.He's a proper out-and-out winger who's known to be injury prone. He's incredibly fast and an amazing dribbler. However; He's just had the worst season of his career and new coach Pellegrini has never played with out-and-out wingers before to my knowledge. That said, Silva and Navas together is a frightening prospect.Maybe he'll use him like Joaquin at Malaga, he's more or less turned him into a central player from a wide one. Navas has already been playing a little more centrally this season at Sevilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 At the moment, you'd have to say City are favourites for the title. We def need some top signings to eclipse them. I rate Pellegrini very high but he'll need the support of the players to be successful, which I'm sure he'll get cause their embarrassing displays in the UCL must have humbled some of the large egos. City are getting scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Isn't Navas like majorly prone to homesickness?.. Didn't that stop him signing in '06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City are getting scary.Way too early for that. I have always felt that City revolves around Yaya Toure. Remove him friom the team and this team looks toothless. It will be interesting to see how pellegrini uses him. Will the city players adapt to his new style early in the league before it's too late?

dave30 728 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Isn't Navas like majorly prone to homesickness?.. Didn't that stop him signing in '06?used to have panic attacks even on training camps but apparently his therapist has helped him get over it.

Badboy 1,526 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think they have a better team then us as of now. I think it's between us and them and I think if they spend heavily and we spend heavily then it'll be close. United will come 5th and Liverpool will get relegated hopefully.

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 On paper they were already the best team in EPL, but take a look at the table. I really don't care who they are going to buy as far as we get who we want. It's a 11 players game, they can't field more than that can they. We scare no one! Especially Mourinho in helm!

Term-X 7,891 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Are we really going to let them sign Cavani?..With Falcao done and dusted.. we are running out of 'finished articles'. Unless Mourinho really does wanna give Lukaku a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Mourinho really does wanna give Lukaku a chance.They'll get Cavani if he leaves Napoli and nothing will be able to stop them. We have to just accept that they have more resources then us, Roman can't compete with those Arabs they have a whole freaking government behind them. I was in UAE in 2010 and they see investments like Man city as being the global eye catcher for the nation so even if resources start to dwindle people will always call stadiums like Man city and Arsenal the Etihad and the Emirates stadium and that will always play on people's minds were to go for a holiday and shopping. They see these investments as an economic driver for foreign exchange money.... They are on a different planet.... So winning things is a priority and no matter how much a player might cost they'll get get him if it mean's title or no title. We have a different owner with a different goal.. for Roman its just a bit of a laugh and something to enjoy that's nothing compared to an economic goal.

Wavy Crockett 190 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I've always liked Navas, would've been nice to see him play for Chelsea but having him in the Premier League will do, even if it's for a rival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have more financial power but football isn't just about money. By your logic City should've blown us out of the water for Hazard then.If we come in and rival City's bid (which I'm sure we can if we really wanted to) and offer him decent wages and Jose sells him the dream of playing for CFC and the project we're trying to fulfil then it's more than viable.

Krypt 241 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hazard chose us because we had a better "project" apparently.If City do get all the players they desire it will be hard to stop them. But the manager will have a headache keeping Tevez , Aguero , Cavani and Dzeko(i see him staying) happy if they do indeed play only one striker.There are a limited of world class strikers nowadays which we can go for we need a Dider Drogba type signing or put our faith Lukaku.

We have a different owner with a different goal.. for Roman its just a bit of a laugh and something to enjoy that's nothing compared to an economic goal. City, PSG and now Monaco have all copied our blueprint for on-field & commercial success, the later pioneered by Kenyon at United. The sheikhs are not doing anything 'extraordinarily' different from what we've already done in that aspect. I'd rather have Roman at the helm, and it's 'because' he isn't looking for a return, he's a football fan, it’s his legacy, Roman loves the club, which lasts longer than economic motives. If the City 'project' eventually dwindles will it matter for the UAE?, they have fingers in multiple pies, the MLS and PSG etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 So it looks done and dusted with Fernandinho going there too.City already dominated us in midfield with Yaya alone and now they're bringing in another player who dominated us in the CL last season to partner him.*sigh*And on top of these signings of Navas and Fernandinho they'll be signing a striker.Jose and the board have a lot of work to do with signings.
