Las7 951 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We can forget about Falcao, Mancini is watching the game together with Falcao's agent - it's the missing piece of City's puzzle they barely have any strikers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We're not going to sign another striker for £50m when Torres is performing decently. Stop deluding yourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaKid10 35 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Fuck off Mancini .Why don't you use Tevez/Aguero/Dzeko/Balotelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las7 951 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We're not going to sign another striker for £50m when Torres is performing decently. Stop deluding yourselves.We signed Sheva despite not needing him, we signed Torres despite having far more need for wingers and creative midfielders. To think there is anything logical behind our last 4 additions up top is illogical. If we are not going to give Lukaku and Sturridge opportunities up top might as well sign up someone to really make Torres worry about his position. If City get Falcao, Dzeko and Balo become fare game and we should go for whoever out of the two is on the bottom of the pecking order at City.

Too many hypothesises. You really can't tell whether the CFC board plus coaching staff are willing to give Sturridge and Lukaku a chance ATM, so blindly assuming that to justify a Falcao purchase doesn't do it for me. (Not you per se). Listen, I really, really rate Falcao, but I can't see us getting him unless Torres is sold which is looking unlikely ATM. People shouldn't get their hopes up, that's all I'm trying to allude to really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can't tell whether the CFC board plus coaching staff are willing to give Sturridge and Lukaku a chance but chances ATM, so blindly assuming that to justify a Falcao purchase doesn't do it for me.Listen, I really, really rate Falcao, but I can't see us getting him unless Torres is sold which is looking unlikely ATM. People shouldn't get their hopes up, that's all I'm trying to allude to really.I don't have high hopes or anything I just know we will sign a striker in the winter and Falcao is everything a top club could look for in a striker.As I've said it's painful to me but Sturridge and Lukaku were given a combined of two games up top a CFC, this year Lukaku was send on loan despite our squad bolstering only two players who can play there and the fact that Lukaku offers something completely different than both. Sturridge was on the bench for our opening 7 fixtures fully fit, he played 10 minutes up top and another 30 on the right wing. Sturridge is also guaranteed not to start in the next four fixtures after the international break, I'm sure Sturridge has had time to reflect during his injury. He is not given a proper chance up top while squads with more strikers have managed to give all the forwards time on the field and this is something I alluded before Sturridge was injured. Sturridge should be starting games and in Liverpool; Arsenal and Tottenham he would have been given a chance up top to prove himself - here he is given 10 minutes against QPR when our whole team started playing chaotically after 80 minutes of pretty much nothing. Sturridge has less time on the field as a striker than virtually every other forward we have signed over the age of 18. I doubt if I was in his position a start with our reserve squad against Manchester United in the Piss Cup is something he would boast about, and looking at our next 4 fixtures thats the only game there is a remote possibility he could actually start up top.Man City will never sign Falcao unless they are planning to let Balotelli and/or Dzeko go, and if they are willing to bench either Aguero or Tevez which I can't see happening.Mancini wants to get rid of Dzeko that much is obvious and Balotelli is a difficult character so I could surely see him also wanting to dispose of Mario as well. Like I've said he wanted to sign RvP and now his next target is Falcao, if he ends up signing Falcao we need to make sure we got offers lined up for both Dzeko and Mario I think our main rival for both will be Juve.

TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Falcao, like Hazard, is an intelligent player and will make the decision best for him personally. Chelsea do standout but having said that the guy is the best striker in the world. Still he will be competing with some world class strikers at City. Chelsea still his most likely destination IMO.

Dzeko is the perfect plan B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yup we can match city on price and wages...Plus we are playing better football, have a better recent history and are in London, not the fucking North...That's a big swing in our favour!!!

Aguero wanted very high wages and the club weren't prepared to pay wages that high for a player with no BPL experience. Ended up signing Torres for £10 Million more with exactly the same wages (probably even higher wages). Ahh, hindsight is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, hindsight is terrible.Actually we bid for him many times, atleti didnt want to sell but eventually we brought Torres. Then afterwards in next window he release statement on his website saying to leave. If we didnt have torres i know we would have aguero. having just brought torres though and having drogba it was too money much to put out on 3 wages.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think Roman will push this transfer tbh very similar to the Torres, Sheva and (possibly) Ivanovic... wouldn't mind this but tbh I like the idea of us signing Dzeko. Hes a very all round player, target man, can run in behind, decent dribbler, great finisher with his feet and head. Yet again you could say the same about Falcao but I agree with what SeB has said that Falcao doesn't really create his own chances. Dzeko basically fired Wolfsburg to the Bundesliga title by himself a few years ago, scoring bucket loads of goals, some created by others, some created by himself.
