"Barry is 100% a done deal, and Tevez is 80% certain to happen.

People who know me on here know that I have a very solid contact, check my previous posts on Man City."

these w@nkers are going to be a big force next season, with the money they've got and are throwing it around I can see them knocking one of the sky 4 off their perch probably the scummy goons but ffs they're about to make a mockery of the transfer market

Basically a photocopy of what Chel$ki did when Abromovich took over. Shame, it's ruining the sport that we all love.

yeah but probably even worse

these guys are supposed to have a shat load more doe than Abromobitch

one of them just bought pompey too didn't they so well have to wait and see what happens with them

I can see it getting very tight at the top of the table over the coming years with these guys coming in and throwing money arround like they've lost their minds. I worry about how we're going to beable to compete soon.

[Spur]

Below is from Blue Moon:

Tevez - talks well under way but difficult as third party interest, but looking good

Barry - 'Pool or goons can't compete only real threat will come from Spurs, who do seem to have money to spend again, they seem to be a big money making club. Their ace in the pack seems to be most he family are season ticket holders there and he himself is a Spurs fan. But money will talk at the end of the day as they have a fairly tight wage structure.

No news on Eto'o rumours

Hughes has to hit the ground running or bye bye

If we are interested in Barry then how come we haven't heard more about it? We hear about so many players who we're not even slightly interested in, so I think if we were anywhere near Barry then we would have heard more.

Thanks for showing us this stuff Spur :thumbup1:

[Keanoldinho]

Barry and Tevez alone would really improve them w@nkers alot but they won't stop there, they're going to try and buy the title which really isn't that hard to do just look at Blackburn and Chavski for examples. They'll at the very least finish top 4 next season I think which will be funny seeing the goons most likely being the team to get knocked out but will be equally shit seeing another big money pr!ck come in and stick another few nails in the coffin of football.

I was said on a Villain forum the other day that Barry is saying nothing regarding his future at the mo. Refuses to discuss contract, refuses to discuss a move, refuses everything. Playing his cards very close to his chest it seems.

Interest in him will be high.

[TURKISH]

How will City fit Barry, DeJong, Ireland in midfield? Also Robinho who cuts in from the left, Bellamy who cuts in from the left, Petrov who is a left sided player, Tevez who runs everywhere?

I can't see Barry going city straight away, I believe he won't make a rash decision and this one will play out for a while.

I'm guessing Kompany will go cb with dunne and Richards will be rb. Either way I can't see Barry going to City as its a big gamble as there at an early stage on uncertainty. I believe we may have a genuine chance to get him.

----------De Jong

---Elano-------------Robinho

they'll just have a hugh squad like chavski when Mourinho was there. There'll be alot of movement there this summer and expect afew big names coming in so the owners can state their intentions

every teams beatable but that was just an example still a strong set up though especially if Elano was replaced with another big name

They really need to get their defence together but I guess we'll just have to see what Hughes does. He could bottle it and get the axe early on in the season which I think might happen.

I agree with that and i see it happening. At the end of the day, Chelski had something of a history when they were taken over and were already top 4 class anyway, with no huge local rivals(ok us and Arsenal, but i'm talking about United to City, who are bigger and much, much better rivals). They had no real problem attracting big flash players to the club, and kept their quality players with no hassle also.

City have got a lot harder to work than Chelski when you take into account they are still a long way outside the top 4, meaning many top players are going to turn them down. The only players that will go to them, will be arrogant, unproffesional foreigners, just looking to earn thousands of pounds a week. They'll end up having a squad full of players with no passion, pride or work ethic, the manager will them get blamed and be bombed out, probably then replaced by Phil Scolari or some unsuccessful big name manager that'll still only get them as far as the Europa prehaps.

If City are to do this properly, they need to take their time, they can't just expect to jump into the top 4, when they didn't even qualify for the Europa this season, it just won't work, no matter how much money they throw about. Personally, i think they'll charge in, blinded by the aspect of being so wealthy, and faulter when the season commences, rather like we did.

They could actually turn into a bit of a mess. I think they bought the wrong players last summer. Too many midgets. The team is way too small.

Where was the plan?

I totally agree that it will take time for them to become a force for the reasons you stated. They started to make a first very good buy when they bought Given. I don't think anyone else they bought is amazing. Ireland was amazing this year but they didn't buy him.

Fact is Sven did better with Shinawatra, because it was building a far more balanced outfit. But Sven is particularly good at buying players, that's what makes him so good at club management. He can buy for his systems and organise them well.

I think they've gone backwards in many ways. There's no structure to that team if you ask me. It's a case of too many similar and small players. The height of that team is frighteningly small, midfield to front.

They've a long way to go and they still have to do it right.

[gomessi]

god i hate them:cursing: they've always been ****ing shit and without these backers they'd alwsys be that way.

I know this might sound strange but city getting into the top 4 would actually be a bad thing even if they replace arsenal. Yes i do hate arsenal but it wiil only encourage more billionaires to buy a club leaving us in no position to comete in the transfer market.

buying success has been done before and it will be done again and taking the moral high ground is just leaving is going to leave us a long way behind. Saying that I still stick to my principle and would hate to buy success and I might even stop supporting spurs if we did what city are now doing. :sad:

e.g. if man city wanted palacios we wouldnt have stood a chance and thats a disgrace because history will show man city have never ever had our financial muscle. :sad:

There should be rules like you can only spend x% of your turnover on transfer fess and y% on wages. Unfortunatly there is no chance thats ever going to happen.

the transfer market is supposed to be unpredictable. With all these rich guys its only going to mean clubs like us will have to wait in A ****ING QUEUE before having a chance to sign players. :angry:

[Gino Ginelli]

That's the reality of football down the years though. The rich clubs buy the big players, and the other clubs make do with what they can get. It's how clubs like Torquay, Hartlepool, York, Darlington etc etc have never made it to the top flight, or indeed the second tier in some cases, because the finances just aren't their.

No point in really stressing about it, it'll always happen. Just because the buyers are now from abroad and possess greater wealth doesn't really mean it'll destroy the game. How pissed off do you think Oldham fans are now after they were relegated 15 years ago, only to see local minnows Blackburn attain a sugar daddy who injected wads of cash that propelled them all the way to the Premiership title? And Dave Whelan did the same with Wigan. Newcastle were at best a yo-yo club until John Hall pitched up.

History repeats itself. It'll be our turn again one day. Don't you worry :001_smile:

Mark my words, as much as people will tip them to go far this season, 12 months from now, they could be as big a joke as Newcastle. I hate to say this, but at least Chelski kind of did something right when they became rich. They didn't go and try to get themselves the biggest names in football for outrageous fees, they bought many players, and increased the depth in their squad. The names they were signing to begin with were, at the time, talented youngish players such as Damien Duff, Glen Johnson, Scott Parker, Geremi etc.

These were players that helped them quite a lot really, they managed to get second, which was a huge step from 4th place finishes on average. They were better players thyan what they had anyway, and the fact that they strengthened the squad in almost every area needed, proved the key, it was only the coming seasons after where they were able to then attract bigger names, and a higher profile manager. This then in effect, got them Premiership trophies.

Not even this approach would work for City though i don't believe. They need to take an even more patient approach. Like i say, they're not in the same position Chelsea were in 4-5 years ago. For a club like them to go from outside the Europa to top 4 in one season is absurd, they need to focus on getting in just the Europa this season, then maybe aim for a trophy next season with a higher placed finish or just an equivalent finish. That way they can send a message to other quality players around Europe, that they're a team with money, who are on the up, and capable of winning silverware, this message would get them some real good players then i believe, ones that are willing to help them push for the top 4 and get more trophies, the reputation they've got at the mo is not a good one, these top players are laughing at them and will damage any chances of a link in the future.

They'll aim too high though no doubt, they may not even get any decent players this transfer window, as like i say, the better ones won't want to join, and those will be the ones they'll only be aiming to sign, not setting sights any lower. It's inevitable. It's just so gonna backfire for them, mark my words, my instinct has never been stronger, we've really nothing to be worried about :001_smile: .

[Rojoknapp]

I think that with all resources at their disposal, top 6 is a realistic, achievable target, and fair play to the owners, Hughes has come out and said that the owners have told him that top 6 is next season's goal. What remains to be seen is what will happen if Sparky doesn't get the top 6 place. What I would be really interested to see is them finishing 7th, but getting Europa. Would that be enough or would they fire him anyway?

I've got a feeling he won't even get that far. Just think they'll stab him in the back when a couple of results don't go his way. Maybe i'm associating them too much with the Levy-Jol situation, but fans are expecting so much more, and the fact they've got loads of money, they'll probably want him to hit the ground running from the off.

He may even resign when the pressure gets too much for him, time will tell i suppose.

I don't understand the way he has bought so far. He may be the type that is great with no money, but give him a real cheque book and doesn't know what he's doing. Seems that way so far.

De Jong is nowhere near Palacious as far as I'm concerned. Kompany looks okay, isn't he supposed to be the dog's bollocks? Maybe he will be, I don't know.

I don't see the balance. Given and Bridge is a good start. But if I were him I'd inject some real physical power in that team, it badly needs it. I don't know why Johnson has been frozen out. He was a box to box physical lad that they need.

And I'd go for big lad like Joaquin instead of SWP, more class, final ball and have Petrov the other side. Buy a target man and play him with Robinho.

More along them lines and build a real side, not one that can't play away and is easily bullied.

In a way, their squad will be a bit like ours at the start of the season. No real strength, weak attack. They look like they may only be going for attack-minded players, as they have only been linked with those types lately(i don't see them getting Barry tbh). They probably will keep with De Jong etc in the centre. Just choose to strengthen the attack. They'll then start the season with players that'll still need time to adapt and gel, will have little success with movement and strength on the attack, and just get raped on the counter, it doesn't look good for them.

Kompany is a cb playing in midfield.

Johnson has got a lot of problems with injuries (offical man city stance)

Joaquin has been unbelievably shit for someone with so much ability. There wouldnt be a problem with wages though think he's on about £70,000 and he will probably be sold at a massive loss. Why would m hughes be the man to get his old form back? Lots of managers have tried but ultimatly failed. He's got talent so maybe a fresh challenge could do the trick.

He'll help their midfield a lot, it's players like him they need really. Ah well, we'd best get used to it, they're gonna be in talks with big name players all summer, just most of them won't pay off as well i don't think.

Barry is of course (possibly) going to join a club who aren't even in the Europa League next season.He will gloss over that trifling inconvenience with 'it's not about next year,but it's the long term project and ambitions,blah,blah,blah'.
If he had joined Liverpool last seasn,he would still have been handsomely paid but he would have joined a club that is a genuine contender for the big prizes.By joining Man City,Barry has shown that his ambitions for his bank balance outweigh his ambitions for his winner's medal collection.

You're so bitter about City's wealth. :lol: :biggrin:

The childhood fan usually becomes a professional wage maximiser.

Villa are prepared to pay Barry 70k a week so I'd imagine City will go to at least 90k a week. Robinho's a one-off and I don't see Barry gettting 130k.

Look how close they were to signing Kaka and that was January so there's no doubt in my mind they'll pull some big names in the summer because money talks and these players are trying to make as much of it as possible while they're still at the top level.

I doubt it this lot are about to throw money around like it's never been done before. What were they going to pay Kaka 250k a week was it

this thread coulda went in my man shitty thread too why start a new one gomessi

lol sorry about that.

[earl warwick]

That was over very quick. City sources predicted it was done a week ago. 100k a week, double his Villa salary. I expect some will still be shocked that the boyhood Spurs fan was so easily swayed.

[TURKISH]

HAHAH 12m deal Rafa will be gutted.

[TURKISH]

Bloke on coys called this a good week before anyone had a sniff.

Probably got it from Blue Moon.

It was on SO on 29 May:" Barry is 100% a done deal, and Tevez is 80% certain to happen."

There were still plenty of dreamers thinking that "boyhood fan" means anything. Funnily enough, 50k extra a week meant a lot more.

[gomessi]

tevez will 100% definatly be announced in 24 hours. Can I have an itk badge:001_rolleyes:

[gomessi]

You're so bitter about City's wealth. :lol: :biggrin:

The childhood fan usually becomes a professional wage maximiser.

Villa are prepared to pay Barry 70k a week so I'd imagine City will go to at least 90k a week. Robinho's a one-off and I don't see Barry gettting 130k.

yes I am because with out they'd be same old man shitty in the transfer market. Now they can hold onto their good players and blow us out of the water :sad:

Let them get on with it pal it shouldn't stop us from improving our squad come august time. They will lack balance imo and all we need to do is add three experienced quality players which doesn't always mean splashing out big money.

Arsene Wenger always finds gems without splashing big money and we can do the same. We have a long term plan with the stadium, youth set up, new training ground so don't be disheartened by city.

I honestly wouldn't be happy to have a foreign sugar daddy as chairman and I wouldn't feel a sense of achievement in winning the league buy spending
500m in the space of three seasons to do it.

That's only the millionth time I've heard that. This season, I mean.

You'd be jacking off in the street like the rest of us if we spent 500m and won the league. When called on it, you'd start chanting "Champions!" whilst necking back more extra strong lager than would be advisable. :blushing:

We would find excuses like the other teams were only ahead of us due to hitting the gravy train of tv money at the right time when we didn't and that.

And that we deserve to be up there challenging. In that way I suppose the excuses would be valid in a way, despite the monumental f*ck ups of sugar and his predecessor, which also make it invalid in a way too. But it would be all the sweeter to do it naturally, if possible.

Is it possible? Yes, it is, if you get it all so right and make a number of great signings and build brilliantly over a stretch. Much good work has been done. But it is extremely difficult to break a monopoly like there is now without billionaire backing. And even when you have that is has to be done very well to really build something proper.

If we win the league, Levy and Harry deserve to knighted on the spot and showered with virgins.

Haha I think the majority of the fans are getting fed up of signing kids who look great but then die out considerably.

Winning the league like that would be like playing champ manager and then adding yourself as another manager to then sell your shittest players for millions of pounds. Then becoming manager of all the teams who have player you want so you can buy at a cheap price. Then once you win the league you delude yourself it was all down to your managerial ability.:sad:

In Madrid for 56m fee. TS confirmed it.

Apparently Barry had turned them down for a bigger project. :wink:

[gomessi]

listening to Mark Manning the man city fan on setanta made me just want to laugh.

the guy is the most deluded ****er I've ever heard:

"we deserves success"

"this club is as bigas any"

"I wouldnt mind eto and villa"

"this is a big big club 35 years ago we were amongst the very best....."

so only 35 years of shit then eh.

Peter swales, the third tier, a corrupt ex thai pm, billions of arab money and still below us. ****ing **** **** deluded doesnt realise they deserved **** all a rich **** has just come along and decided to piss around with a toy always been a ****ing joke.

yes I'm pissed bitter call it whatever you want. I just want an equal playing field or at least spending within your means. just got a couple of texts from the only man city fan I know and he's loving it.

We missed out on the gravy train and city have done **** all to deserve this level of investement. Perhaps being **** has helped the poor ****s.

City fans thinking they deserve this investement just because they've been **** for 35 years is the worst bit of logic I've ever heard.

and no I dont want a multi billionaire.

[Keanoldinho]

I think alot of people aren't really taking into account the ammount of money this lot are going to be throwing around.

I mean look at Barry he's getting 100k a week now. No other team in the whole world would pay him that. This lot can double your wages no matter how much you're getting.

There's no doubt about it they will get some top players in their prime this summer because football players know they have a minimum ammount of time to maximise their profits during their careers in the top flight. Kaka very nearly went in January he had to take afew days to think about it.

Players like Ribery, Tevez, David Villa and Silva, Ibrahimovic are all well within their reaches if they cough up the big money contracts that no other club would offer them. It's really a foregone conclusion they will be a major force in the league next season.

Yep, not seeing the wood for the trees is an expression that springs to mind.

Great to see GM go tonto loco though, isn't it? I get a bit annoyed, but I feel he's taking on every Spurs's fan's deep fury and just spewing it out, like molten lava from an erupting volcano. It dies down, then whenever another player he wants at Spurs is linked with City - BOOM! More lava erupts!

When they sign, an even bigger and longer eruption!

Yes, I will enjoy this summer. :001_smile:

[Lilywhite Lad]

I'm just browsing through Man City forums, and laughing at some of the stuff they are saying. This isn't the best thread i could possibly find, i'll keep scouring through, but they are chatting about the possibility of getting Ibrahimovic:

http://www.mancityfans.net/mcfnet/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=39994

Some of them are actually turning their noses up at the prospect of it, like he's not good enough for them! :scared:
And others are drooling at the possibility of him linking up with Villa and Eto'o! :lol:
I know they've got the funds, but it's just ridiculous! Kaka turned them down plainly because he wanted to stay with Milan, but the fact that they aren't anything near a big club they think they are is the main reason i'd say. Especially now he may be going to Madrid after reiterating his desire to stay :confused1:

[Ioang]

I've got a Man U mate who keeps saying theres no way they'll be a force, no one will come to them.... it's so deluded. Money talks, it already has with Barry, Robinho and it'll happen again. Just because possibly the most puritanical world-class footballer rejected them in the winter, does not mean 90% of footballers wouldn't move if you offer them £100,000 a week, probably 2x our top earners.

Just gotta hope they keep their shit manager, but even he can't fail now with a solid midfield. We can only hope to pick up the scraps really :(

[Shelfside]

Man City can acquire as many world class players as they like,it won't necessarily make them a world class team.When Chelsea appointed Scolari and then bought Deco,all the media were saying that it would be Chelsea for the Premiership and Champions League without doubt.Of course it never happened,Scolari was sacked and Deco,injuries aside,was pretty ineffective.
What about Real Madrid when they had the 'Galacticos'?.They started off well but too many big ego's in the dressing room destroyed any team spirit that they had.
Man City,a club that even make Tottenham look like a bedrock of stability and consistentcy,still have a long way to go to achieve the dominance that they crave.

Good post. It is frustrating seeing what City are doing but I still dont think they will break the big four next season, maybe best of the rest but thats it for me. Even if they buy Villa, Tevez, Hangeland or whoever its not as simple to say that everybody will be singing from the same hym sheet immediately. A shaky start and any top four ambitions are out the window. I actually think we will finish above them next season!!!

[gomessi]

If it was only about money he could have just gone to City, where he could probably have negotiated his way to more than 200,000 a week. I'm sure money's a factor, but he's got his eyes on more than just £££ I reckon.

Yeah but (and this is where City's aspirations will fall short) a bonafide superstar like Kaka isn't ever going to join Manchester frickin City, no matter how much money is involved.

Seriously, where would you rather play? Sun drenched Spain or the perpetually sodden Manchester?

Milan are desperate for the money, it's widely known. It was pretty obvious from Kaka's words how he felt about the deal.

Also pretty obvious when it's the best time to sell Ronaldo. When he's being an even more than utter prize cock and you get an offer of 80m.

Fergie knows when to sell, usually.

When Ruud wasn't at it in his last two years at united (his work and hold up was not resolute like it was) but still scoring he shipped him out without a blink. Replaced Beckham with Ronaldo when Becks was getting too distracted and intent on coming off the line. And so on.

[Keanoldinho]

figured I'd bump my old man shitty thread because if they get Toure and Lescott they're fecking set W@NKERS

[Rojoknapp]

They won't get instant success. You can't just lump a load of new players together and expect it to work. They were doing really well at the end of the season - they shouldn't have bought so many so quickly. 3 new strikers ffs. Where will they all bloody go? Robinho? That's not going to be a harmonious dressing room this season.

[Keanoldinho]

if they get Toure and Lescott

------------Given

Richards Toure Lescott Bridge

---------DeJong Barry

Tevez------Ireland------Robinho

-----------Adebayor

that team is class

Toure

Feck that aint bad....probably go like that at home. May take a while to gel, but when it does...feck...:drool:

I suspect that is something like what he will go with as I think he will want a more solid base this year.

Don't be surprised to see Barry and De Jong in the middle :boxing:, Ireland on the right, Robinho on the left and Tevez in behind the Baywhore either.

They are starting to unsettle me now, quite a bit actually. I think they will be hard to beat, but we can do it we've a very decent team ourselves that is shaping up more and more under Harry.

But Man Shitty doing this to Arsenal is VERY funny: :hahaha: :bike:

[KevSpur]

I don't see how anyone can think Citeh won't break into the top 4 easily this season.
Hughes has been very shrewd this summer by bringing top class players in who have already made their name in the PL.
Really good players don't take forever to adjust to new team mates.

[Keanoldinho]

you have to laugh at how they just snapped up 2 of the scums best players :rofl:

if wenger isn't careful they could be fecked this season

I can see us really giving them a run for their money for 5th too if they don't properly replace toure and adewhore

We've got a lot of those ourselves, not much between the teams if we can get a quality central midfielder to play with Palacios.

Over-loaded with forwards(How do you accommodate Robinho, Tevez, Cruz and Adebayor?), lacking at CB even with Toure and don't have a commanding figure or figures to drive on the side when things aren't working out.

[KevSpur]

Arsenal are 6/4 to fall out of the top 4 with Skybet.

[choda]

Over-loaded with forwards(How do you accommodate Robinho, Tevez, Cruz and Adebayor?), lacking at CB even with Toure and don't have a commanding figure or figures to drive on the side when things aren't working out.

Lol, can you tell me how Toure gets away with two horrendous years and Dunne doesn't get away with one in your eyes? Is it to do with Toure slinking into the shadows, losing headers all day, being out of position, but not really getting noticed by most, while Dunne tries to correct all the systematic errors around him and looked oafish at times in doing but gets all the abuse and Toure gets f*ck all (much like Richards, who was worse than the two of them by the way)?

Classic Motd opinion. If you saw the way Dunne plays for Ireland you'd know that he's still a very good player, all city defenders just suffered last year in that system and bad organisation.

He'd be a great signing for spurs, especially now.

Dunne would be far better at CB than either Corluca or Thudd, so if we could get him I would be happy with that.

[olly27]

I wouldn't mind Dunne either...If they get Lescott as well he could become availabile for a half decent figure...Dont see Levy forking out more money on guys in and around 30 though.

More likely to be Bassong or someone.

[olly27]

City have just upped their bid for Lescott to 19 mil.....Wolfsburg have agreed a fee of 10.5 mil Euros for Martins with Newcastle.....thought they said no one would be sold until the club was sorted out...maybe we weill be signing Bassong pretty soon.

I would sooner have Dunne TBH.

[Baleinho]

Hmm...

Dunne is a quality player dont get me wrong, and Bassong is one of those players that shows his ability from time to time but never really shines.

One factor is Bassong would gladly take a spot on the bench when King/Dawson/Woody are fit, but can you see Dunne taking a paycut from City to play 3 games and spend the rest of the season on the bench?

Maybe a short-term loan of Dunne and Signing Bassong could be an option to look into. We need some reinforcment in defence, not a whole new CB partnership that we are stuck with for 3/4 years on long term contracts. Of course, there might be something im missing and Bassong is indeed a quality player that has the ability to be one of the best, in that case - sign him up. Keep Bassong as backup and send Dunne back to City once we have a fully fit force in defence.

[irishspur]

Dunne would be a great player to have around the place instant captain until king and woody get back. He showed immense character to get over a drinking problem, six years ago he was told to lose weight or he would get free transfered. 6 years later he won player of the year 4 times. Besides i dont think theres much else out there. Bassong already turned us down after we had a bid accepted, wanted massive wages.

[Baleinho]

Really? Didnt know that.

Well fair play to the lad, shame about Bassong.

Dunne wouldnt cost too much either would he?

Bassong hsan't turned us down as yet...wants high wages, but if we agree a fee with Newcastle that will all be negotiated...I would expect us to sign him next week.

Bassong is quality by the way, even though he was in a struggling side. Big future for him and could be an understudy to Ledley King with a view to replacing him (not that he would be as good as King necessarily)

Levy wont be interested in signing to many more players in and around the 30 mark. Bassong has a big future with bundles of potential...much more a Levy type signing.

[irishspur]

Really? Didnt know that.

Well fair play to the lad, shame about Bassong.

Yep six years ago he was a fat lump of shit, really turned it around. Bassong would be an awesome signing, just pay his wages.
