samjp26 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 So we are buying a player who is banned for 4 more games... We really are making it easy for people to laugh at us! Who are we buying? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milenko27 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Didnt Ireland and Barton play very well together for city some years ago, sort of bringing out the best of each others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanO Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Can't believe the amount of people placated by two signings, both with no Premier League experience playing at levels below where we are (well for this season anyway). You can buy 900 strikers - if you've got nobody capable of creating a half decent chance for them it's pointless. Like Villa. WTF!, I have at times been critical of how we have been going about our business for the last 2 yrs but calling the club you say you support "pointless" is just being a **** drama queen and something I find offensive. If Villa are so pointless to you why are you posting on a Villa forum? I wonder how many games he goes to. Honestly, 'fans' like that should simply f*** off and support City. * WOOOOOOSH * Have a look at the league table. We are pointless. Apology accepted. I might have missed your point "less" but it's probably due to the bollocks you continuously seem to write about Villa. I find it "pointless" arguing with people like you however, so I'll end it there. Feel free to bite back I wont reply, see below for the reason.

Foxy1 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Villa tracking Spearing according to bloke from Sky Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Spearing is not good enough.. I fully expect him to go to a club like Bolton instead. Adam won't be worth the money they will ask for and Lambert has shown he can spot a midfielder for a good price. Ideally we don't sign any Liverpool players.

Zatman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Sky Sports understands Bolton are one of five clubs chasing Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing. Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers, Southampton and Wolves are all keeping tabs on Spearing's situation at Anfield. FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 No to Barton and Spearing. Yes to N'Zonzi. If Liverpool are desperate to clear the Downing debt they can give us Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 If we're going into "panic buy mode" then at least buy from abroad. It's not 100% correct but most of the players available in the PL seems to be players that the clubs don't wan't to keep while the players from abroad seems to be players that the clubs wan't to keep. Usually there is a reason to this... And for some reason even the players English clubs wan'ts to get rid of cost more than the players European clubs don't want to sell. Obviously this is a broad generalization, but on the whole it's the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Would prefer Spearing to Stephens just on the basis of having somebody used to the Premier League. In all honesty I'd say a central defender and a winger would be higher on my priority than a central midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Happy to finally see this spate of links to players, I think 4 good signings and we're looking a very solid unit. Of the many linked to us in the last 48 hours or so, i'm confident we could realistically get to a good first team and strong bench when all fit... --------------------- Guzan ------------------------- Lowton ------ Vlaar ----- Dawson ------ Bennett -------------- N’Zonzi ---El Ahmadi --------------- Holman ---------------------------------- Downing ------------- Benteke --- Bent --------------------- Subs 1. Given (only here as I think he needs a wake up call) 2. Dunne 3. Clark 4. Lichaj 5. Ireland 6. Nzogbia 7. Gabby Now that is a bench of players all of whom are capable of coming on and adding quality, not just make up the numbers. Lambert also likes to rotate - and again this group would alow him to do that as well as change formation if he wanted. Plus, you have a healthy set of squad players to move up to the subs bench when injuries mean our regular players are out... Baker Bannan Herd Weiman (unlucky to miss the bench) Fonz etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 N'Zonzi - massive yes Downing - massive yes as long as he offers some flaky 'sometimes the grass isn't always greener apology' Benteke - yes Stephens - yes Bennett - yes Agreed.
