whitsend Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I know he's a very good player but dosen't change the fact that i'm a bitter old bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hughes will build his team around Barry and I would not be surprised if he is made captain ,unless one of the carlos kick a balls demand it when they sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Barry will have a hard time competeing with kompany and de jong, both are very acomplished holding midfeilders and I can't see Ireland not being first on the team sheet. I give til November before he throws his diamond encrusted dummy out of his pram. Wouldn't it be funny if he's on the bench at VP. Ireland, Barry plus one of Kompany/De Jong will be the midfield 3 I reckon. Kompany and De Jong don't go forward half as well as Ireland and don't have the creativity of Barry, so they'll have to fight each other for the last place Ireland and Barry are nailed on to start in most games, in my opinion.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I can see Barry being captain too. Will be him or Given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Biggest club in manchester???? Not. A. Chance. That would mean they would also have to become the biggest club in teh world. It would also mean they would have to win a hell of a lot of trophies to catch up to Man Utd. They are miles behind the likes of ourselves and Man Utd as far as trophies go. I have seen on a few messageboards with Man City supporters saying people don't have a clue if they think City have hardly won anything. Plus saying that people must have only started watching football since the PL began. The fact is they are numpties and don't even know their own history. Man City have won very little throughout their history (four FA Cups, two League Cups and other nonsense). Not the worst haul ever, yet it shows that they haven't won much. Their fans are becoming deluded by the vast amounts of money they have. Still a shit club and are still miles behind in trophies won..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 History counts for nothing when you're seeking current success. Nottingham Forest and Leeds Utd would wish it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Is eto'o different because you cant say he lacks ambition? he's won pretty much everything he can with barca and city are the only ones sniffing, pretty shit all the same but he's not in barry's/robinho's boat IMO but a bit of blind faith in dunne & richards at CBs and as i constatntly say hughes as manager and they wont do a thing still next year IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland, Barry plus one of Kompany/De Jong will be the midfield 3 I reckon. Yep, it will be Ireland as creative mid, Barry as the linking passer and De Jong as defensive mid. Similar to Liverpool with Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano. Kompany will be move back to centre of defence again and will be the Rio Ferdinand type ball playing CB. I also think Barry will be made captian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Kompany is a better holding midfielder than centre half I reckon. Although my opinion of him at centre half is only based on a handful of games he played there last season. He's a better holding midfielder than De Jong though.

villa4europe Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 kompany didnt play there last season so i dont see why sparkey would change it this richards is better at RB but zabeleta will stay there and hughes will play him somewhere, dunne might be sold but personally i dont see the lescott deal happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Kompany had a handful of games there and was okay. Not great, but he did alright. Sparkey would change this because Dunne, as good as he's been, is not going to take them to the level they want to be now. Everton will stand really firm on the Lescott thing, but I think in the end, money will prevail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Dunne most likely won't even be there next season. Lescott or Toure will be. They have a better chance of getting toure I think. I think there's a lot of denial going on, next stage, Anger. some folks are there already. 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5 Acceptance.

kurtsimonw Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Given Richards Kompany Lescott Bridge De Jong Barry Ireland Wright-Phillips Santa Cruz Robinho Taylor, Onuoha, Garrido, Zabaletta, Petrov, Fernandes, Bellamy. It actually looks like a fairly decent side to be honest, alot of good, young players rather than massivel, high-profiled, mercenaries. This is if the likes of Dunne, Johnson and Jo leave as well, so they could be stronger, even if they don't get Lescott they'll still be very good.

I can't see Eto'o going there, I believe he said he wants to stay at Barca. Don't think they will get any Class A players, Robinho will a stroke of luck since he wanted out and Madrid refuses to accept a bid from Chelsea. Tevez.. I don't rate him very highly at all. He's not a tenth of what Robinho is, a worse winger than SWP and is about as useful as a fish as a lone striker.. could strengthen the bench though I suppose.
