Premier League football news from the Barclays Premier League | United swoop for striker

 

[johony]

this whole man city spending spree is getting better and better. interested in their attempts at signing terry, lescott, david bentley and even fucking david beckham (according to goal :/)

Manchester City increase pressure on Everton to sell Joleon Lescott - Telegraph
Manchester City enter race for Tottenham winger David Bentley - Telegraph

 

[Charizard]

Just a waste of money, if they want to be as good as they say they do then their is hardly any fucking point buying Bentley lol.

Terry and Lescott will both stay unless they pay a stupidely high fee. And if Beckham has any shred of self dignity he'd never play for Man city, but maybe he doesnt.

How many more attacking players do they need? if i was a city fan id be more concerned about their defence.

who the heck is Mame Biram Diouf? and why the hell did man utd pull out of the race to sign huntelaar?

Just a prodigy i'd imagine, since he was immediately loaned back.

As for huntelaar who knows, i find it hard to believe that the best team after him is vfb Stuttgart.

I'd take him at chelsea for sure. Better then Kalou

 

[Groucho Marxist]

catalan paper sport is reporting that barça have signed zlatan ibrahimović for €40 million + eto'o (5 year contract) and hleb (on loan). not confirmed by either club but interesting to see if this materialises.

 

[Groucho Marxist]

btw, real madrid are trying to push huntelaar out the exit door to stuttgart as they've made the highest offer so far. if they get more than 15 mil for huntelaar, i guarantee they will sign xabi alonso. put the house on it.

i suppose they do want to create a lot of buzz for themselves by signing exciting attacking players, not uh, defensive defenders (bar terry probz). city only sought after beckham for his name, and its importance to the brand; a la mls and la galaxy.

 

[Charizard]

All well and good but you would think putting as best a team as possible out where would be the first preference.

Robinho, Santa Cruz, Bellamy, Tevez, Caicedo, Benjani, any other ive forgotten.

I don't know that they need adebayor aswell, best spend that 25 mill on 2 international defenders.

plus 25 million for him is overpriced, hes a lazy offside machine, for 25 mill they could have bought strikers such as luis fabiano,huntelaar,hetinga, almost benzema, etc.

 

[Kujah]

City's got way too many strikers, just like Tottenham. Be interesting to see who Hughes goes with in his attacking/striker formation.

 

[Groucho Marxist]

johnny heitinga isn't a striker, lol.

Premier League football news from the Barclays Premier League | Adebayor completes City switch

imo..very weird move for both parties

now this is more like it. Man City have like 8-9 strikers but you have to remember that a team requires "chemistry" and they need solid defenders.

yeh, Heitinga is a dutch defeder for Athletico Madrid.

• Benjani is going to Hull (negotiations about to begin)
• Bellamy should take up Sunderland's offer
• Caicedo should move to Spain while he is young and talented
• Evans is a beast youth talent but he shouldnt stay as a reserve player
• ADEBAYOR is a waste of money, like seriously the guy scores 30 in his first season, and Wenger is a hero, now his second season is shit, Wenger lets him go.

Pfft, Tottenham are shit. end of story.

The most likely City Formation is:

Robinho-----------Adebayor----------------Tevez

----------------------Ireland-------------------------

Barry---------------De Jong---------------SWP----


Bridge--------------Kompany-----------Richards-


------------------------GIVEN-------------------------

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Striker's cannot score if they don't have proper distribution from midfield. They will not be making Champions League any time soon. Wenger will be doing cartwheels at getting 25m for Adebayor.

 

[Charizard]

johnny heitinga isn't a striker, lol.

Dont know why i said heitinga, meant to say Higuain, the gun forward from Real Madrid.

 

[Groucho Marxist]

yeah, higuain is unreal.

--------------------given----------------
--richards--kompany--dunne--bridge--
--wright-phillips---barry------ireland--
------tevez-----adebayor----robinho---

??? no idea. maybe a 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield? interesting to see how hughes fits in so many good players

 

[Roy9]

How is Adebayor going to explain that the move wasn't for the money, lol

 

[skut8]

Pfft, Tottenham are shit. end of story.

Highly doubt City have the ability to play 3 at the back. It's really hard at the EPL level.
