leviramsey Posted January 20, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just imagine a midfield of Steven Ireland, Jason Scotland, Mike England and, er.... The Outlaw Josey Wales. Just beware of their Mann marking when wearing Jerseys. (sometimes I can be so Sarky that I have to change the Channel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I don't think Man City want to sell their player of the season, they have no reason to and he is still very young. He is only just coming back from injury so he will probably feature more regularly in the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloBarnesi Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Manchester City will be world's best club - Garry Cook Cook believes City can dominate world football Manchester City executive chairman Garry Cook is confident the club is on the path to global domination. City are one of the richest clubs in the world following their takeover by billionaire Arab tycoon Sheikh Mansour. "This football club is, without doubt, going to be the biggest and best football club in the world," Cook told a fans forum in New York. "I will make no excuses for saying it, as I truly believe it - with the resources and capabilities we have." Cook was speaking before the Football Association urged both Manchester clubs to show restraint ahead of their Carling Cup semi-final second leg next Wednesday after City won the first leg 2-1. In a tense game former United striker Carlos Tevez's goal celebrations prompted a one-fingered gesture from Gary Neville, while subsequently the Argentine branded his ex-United team-mate a "moron" and a "foot-licker". Since Mansour took over in 2008, City have spent almost £200m on players as they look to break Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal's stranglehold on the Premier League's top-four places. 606: DEBATE Can Manchester City dominate the world? City's spending power has also eclipsed their neighbours, with United's holding company debt growing to more than £700m, though it did announce on Friday that a bond issue had raised £504m. Last summer Sheikh Mansour's financial muscle ensured City brought Tevez, Gareth Barry, Emmanuel Adebayor and Joleon Lescott, while United opted not to spend the bulk of the £80m brought in by Cristiano Ronaldo's sale. City also angered United in the summer by displaying a "Welcome to Manchester" poster on completing the transfer of Tevez from his advisors, the Argentine striker having been on loan at United who deemed an asking price of £25m to be excessive. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson retorted by branding City a "small club" while later describing them as "noisy neighbours" after his side's controversial 4-3 derby victory in September. "It's City isn't it? They're a small club with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United; they can't get away from it," added Ferguson. "They think taking Carlos Tevez away from Manchester United is a triumph. It is poor stuff." Cook's comments follow on from those he made at the club's tour of South Africa in the summer where he said he hoped Manchester City would become "the darling of world football". After Tevez moved to City he explained that the club's vision and "ambition to become the biggest club in the world," had helped convince him to join. The 25-year-old scored just once in his first six games for City, but has recently hit 13 goals in 11 games, including both efforts in City's midweek Carling Cup success. Gary can’t keep his mouth shut can he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He truly believe they will be the biggest club in the world? even Chelsea haven't got close to that achievement yet, it will take them £100m transfers for 10 years and even then I think they won't do it. Barcelona United Milan Madrid all of those 4 are miles ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted January 23, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2010 Stephen Ireland won't be leaving City any time soon and if he does I suspect there will be a long list of clubs interested in him including perhaps Utd who are rumoured to have enquired about him previously. As for that cock Gary Cook, what do people expect from a nose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(04/05, 05/06, 06/07, 07/08) well there you go, if he is going to be getting regular 1st team football under mancini then I think he will stay, but if Mancini wants other big names he won't be playing regularly and will be available. if Dunne was then everyone else there should be. selling Dunne and buying lescott has to be the worst piece of business in the transfer window.

villan83 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Update on the Robinho situation, I don;t think it will make much of a difference to Cit yif he goers, they are a far better team without him in the side, last season they needed him because he was the symbol of their 'new era' but now they have Tevz and co, they just don't have the space for him.

Genie Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Its kinda like splitting up with your girlfriend cos she's cheating on you, when you know that she started seeing you behind her previous boyfriends back. Robbie (as Mark Hughes liked to put it) sulked his way out of Santos and into Real Madrid, then sulked out of Madrid to Citeh, they can't really be surprised he's lost interest there as well.
