AndFos Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yup. Arsenal only have three centre backs, Vermaelen, Djourou and Koscielny And Håvard Nordtveit (Norwegian U21) is back from a year long loan at Nuremberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Koscielny. Who? Why don't I know transfers I think you tend to be too busy arguing with sir_gary_cahill about Darren Bent most of the time. Koscielny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davies4England Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Lazio manager says Kolarov to Man City is imminent. £17m fee reported, a big defender with excellent technique and delivery. Not worth that price but he is a very good player Also Nice say they have had 15m euro bids from Spurs and Liverpool for Loic Remy. With Liverpool being included it doesn't sound believable but apparently he's a very good player and a future French starter under Blanc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I like Kolarov he has a belting free kick similar to Mihajlovic and good attacking play. Was Lazio best player for most of last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies4England Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yeah perfect comparison for him really. Cavani is an odd one, I like him but he's not worth 20m euros. He certainly fits nicely into their squad though, I wonder who he will start with. I guess one of Quagliarella and Lavezzi will leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJRM050389 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 So that means both Man C full backs would be big strong players. Boateng and the LB from Lazio both fir into that. Doesn't bode well for Onuha, Bridge and Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quizme Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Manuel Fernandes is a good CM, wouldnt mind us take a punt on him. Hammers seem certain they will sign Loic Remy, thats odd. He is a good player, could be at a better team than West Ham. Will Mancini be able to get Man City play as a team? Unit them as a group? Mourinho would have, Mancini I´m not so sure...

Jez Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Sky Sports News reporting this morning that they have agreed a deal for some LB for £15m. Manchester City agree £17m deal with Lazio for Aleksandar Kolarov • Serbia left-back has been likened to Roberto Carlos • Will take club's spending so far this summer to close to £80m Daniel Taylor guardian.co.uk, Thursday 15 July 2010 20.49 BST Aleksandar Kolarov played twice for Serbia during the World Cup in South Africa. Photograph: Tony Marshall/Empics Sport Manchester City are on the verge of taking their summer spending close to £80m after Lazio accepted a £17m bid for the Serbia international Aleksandar Kolarov today. Kolarov is an attacking left-back renowned for his powerful shooting and ability from set pieces – his style has seen him being labelled as the Serbian Roberto Carlos – and he has been identified to take over from Wayne Bridge in a new-look defence also featuring Jerome Boateng, the £10.5m recruit from Hamburg. Bridge has not convinced the City manager, Roberto Mancini, that he is good enough for a team that aspires to challenge for the Premier League title in the coming season and the former England international can expect to start on the bench if the 24-year-old Kolarov agrees to become the club's fourth signing of the summer. Real Madrid, Juventus and Internazionale have also approached Lazio but City are the only club to have reached an agreement and are hopeful Kolarov, who played in two of Serbia's group games in the World Cup, will not be deterred by the fact that his potential new employer will not be involved in the Champions League. If everything goes according to plan, he should take his medical in the coming days and will link up with the rest of Mancini's squad on their pre-season trip to the United States. City have also signed David Silva from Valencia and Yaya Touré from Barcelona, both for around £25m, and the club's transfer business since the Abu Dhabi United Group took control 22 months ago is likely to go through the £300m mark in the coming weeks. James Milner remains a target and City are hoping to reach a compromise with Aston Villa over a fee. An opening offer of £20m was turned down in May and Villa have said they want £30m pounds, but it helps City that Milner is known to want the transfer to go ahead. Similarly there will be new attempts to resurrect a deal for Wolfsburg's prolific striker Edin Dzeko, despite the huge disparity in the valuation of the player. Wolfsburg are asking for a fee of around £45m whereas City are adamant they will not pay significantly above £30m. Mancini's players are currently in Portland and Joe Hart has cut short his holiday to join them for the start of their pre-season programme. That begins with a game against Portland Timbers on Saturday and Hart hopes to convince Mancini that he should start the season in goal ahead of Shay Given, even if the Republic of Ireland international has recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered towards the end of last season. Hart was not originally due to join up with the squad until they go to New York next Thursday but, mindful that this could be a season in which he also establishes himself as England's first-choice goalkeeper, he has changed his plans to try to get a headstart on Given.

BOF Posted July 16, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2010 So that means both Man C full backs would be big strong players. Boateng and the LB from Lazio both fir into that. Doesn't bode well for Onuha, Bridge and Richards Not so sure Boateng will be a fullback for them. He's a centre back by trade I thought - despite his role for the national side.
