Apparently odds have massively dropped on Adam joining the rags!!

just heard this

1619: Interesting, very interesting. Apparently the odds on Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam joining Manchester United have plummeted in the last few minutes. He is now 1/4 to go there and only 5/2 to join long-term suitors Liverpool. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said last week of course that Adam is "worth £10m for his corners alone". Watch this space.

Only an absolute cynic would speculate that Baconface is bent enough to pay a huge transfer fee for Adam and then get a slice of his mate Holloway's 30% of the price.

Let's hope nobody suggests anything of the sort.

Roberto Mancini has announced a new face will arrive at Eastlands today. Lescott and Tevez are fighting over who gets it.

Quality!

[Goaters 103]

Let's look at the bench we'll have assuming our top 11 are on the field ( ie with Balotelli back). Shay and a couple of defenders perm any two from Zaba, Boateng, Micah, Lescott. Then Milner. Then you have SWP and Jo. Who are the game changers there?

We were unlucky at the timing of the injury to AJ but really you want more than one game changing option on the bench. I wonder whether Mancini wanted an extra quality buy this window and was blocked by Cooke and Marwood or whether there was general agreement between the three. Of course the Club have given Mancini fantastic backing so it's unreasonable to grumble but the next few weeks are so important to City's future and at 11pm it's 'rien ne va plus'.

Elano and Robinho would look very nice tucked into that bench right about now. Just sayin.

cheers

The fact that you would even think Elano and Robinho would "add" anything to our bench shows a complete failure to grasp the issues of team spirit, the willingness of Elano and Robinho to sit on the bench, and indeed managing a squad in top level football.

I'm still waiting for someone from Liverpool/Newcastle to come out and be like 'sorry the whole Carroll thing is a WU, who would honestly pay that much for him'.

Rejected £35m, jesus.

I'm amazed that Spurs aren't in for a defender, or 3. Then again, do they still play defenders there or are they all attackers?

yeah...im failing to grasp that we have no cover...and players like Elano, Robinho, Bellamy, etc would be nice to have around on the bench.

Yep, once again you demonstrate you haven't got an idea about Prem footballers, their attitudes, managing a squad and even Robinho and Elanos abilities as squad members and being absolute poison in a dressing room.

Have we signed Mido yet or not?

[Ted Hughes]

This is confusing. Both are now saying Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah yet a minute ago they were arguing.

[mr_nool]

I'm quite confident we won't bring anyone in. I think the club management was quite happy with our squad. Even with Balo out, we had decent cover upfront with AJ as back up for Tevez, Silva and Dzeko. Of course AJ's injury was a huge set back with Balo still being out, but it happened so late in the window,that any replacement we could've gotten would have been a overpriced panic buy.

If they were happy with Jo & Milner or SWP as replacements fo Silva, AJ, or Balotelli then they're fucking mental.

Breaking news on Sky - Torres to Chelsea deal in danger of falling thru due to John Terry being unable to agree terms with Torres' wife.
