Mantis Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'd be distraught if he left the Premier League any time soon. Not just because he's mad to watch, but because he's just fascinating. Read/listen to interviews with him. He's very well spoken in a way only an enigmatic italian can be. he gets a lot of criticism but i would say he is one of most intelligent and mature players in Premier League. think his "insanity" is all an act Intelligent maybe, but mature? You're joking right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Also it will be another blow to one of their rivels (though I can't see Arsenal being a genuine rivel to Man City anymore) Good point, will basically destroy Arsenal and demote them to the chasing pack. A couple of years back Villa were a rival of theirs, they take our 2 best players and now they're on another level they will do the same to Arsenal. Even if they down play Barry, Milner, Nasri and Clichy, they've succeeded to a degree by weakening their rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even managed it with United and Tevez to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 ..and almost with Rooney too, Utd had to break the bank to offer Wayne a mega deal to avoid it happening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2011 Dzeko just beginning to look the player I thought he was. Granted, he has a long way to go to be 'brilliant' for City, but he's scoring goals, starting up top on his own (albeit with 2 in close support) and he's justifying his position in the side now. He might just end up being that beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2011 He was a superb player for Wolfsburg and when they bought him I had him tipped to be a player who would suit this league down to the ground. He looks stronger and more upto pace than he did last season already. As much as I like him (Wolfsburg connection and I've always liked his type of striker), I feel bad about him succeeding because that only bodes well for a hateful Citeh side.

darrenm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 City are suddenly excellent this season. As a previous naysayer I'm pretty confident they'll win the PL this season. I'd like that for 2 reasons; 1. To shove Man Utd off the top for a bit. 2. To force UEFA to rethink their financial fair play rules that are obviously pointless at the moment.

wiggyrichard Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Big shout...... How about Dzeko and Aguaro to bag 40 goals between them in all comps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2011 To force UEFA to rethink their financial fair play rules that are obviously pointless at the moment. Oh they have a point alright, its just not the point that they have been busy telling everyone. They aren't bothered about trying to stop Man City they are just trying to stop any future Man City type situations and protect the already establish elite.

villa4europe Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 38 prem games, 6 in LC, 6 in FA cup, 13 in CL? if they manage 40 games a piece then i think they'll piss 40 goals between them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 If they do piss 40 goals (thinking about it i agree that they will), thats the league as far as im concerned. plus im sure if they are kept Balotelli and Tevez could get 15-20 each as well and expect Silv, Yaya, Kolarov and Nasrti to chip in with a few as well. Premier LEague watch out though saying that i might jinx them and they go 5 games without a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 though warnign im sure last season we had a similar thread when Chelsea go 11 or 12 goals in the first week of season. People were questioning whether season was over already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 To think a few years back they were a few minutes away from not beating Gillingham to not get promoted I hated them before then and still do but I'd swap their position for ours now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
