I'm very happy with our transfer window. Especially with the fact that we've gotten our targets in early, something which I think we've learnt that we needed to improve of over the last couple of season.

If just will get rid of Kolarov and get in (anybody) a suitable replacement, I will be ecstatic.

Manchester City look set to land the Montenegrin magician in spite of Italian champions Juventus being his first choice club to move to this summer.

Haters gonna hate.

Their number 11 is a bit quick.

Not for the first time. I'm pretty sure it's not Kansas though.

On topic; looking forward to seeing Jovetic, Negredo and Navas linking up. They will take so much pressure off Silva and Nasri.

I got to hold my hands up and say I don't know anything about this lad. But welcome to Manchester!


Compared with Rooney, Baggio, Zola.

Very creative and skilled attacking player, young and extremely talented. Still growing as a player.

Overall a truly great signing. Best signing since Aguero in fact.

Stan Collymore tweeting that Jovetic is the exact same type of player as Dzeko... needless to say he is currently getting some stick!

How can so called experts be so clueless and continue to be employed as experts......... :S

It's funny when some so called pundit makes a complete twat of himself, & the fans know more than him.

That's a point, I've not checked the Ray Wilkins thread for a while.

Nice addition. I'm sure he will add alot to the side. And he's only 23!

I guess we're looking at:

Hart
Zaba Vinnie ? Clichy
Toure Fernandinho
Navas Silva Jovetic
Aguero

If Nasri maintains his present attitude, Silva will have to raise his game imo. Jovetic would be at the front of midfield behind one or two strikers imo. Same with Nasri ;he clearly wants to play centrally. I can also imagine Jovetic playing in the position you suggest, either side, but I don't think it's his best.

I don't think we have a 1st 11 anymore anyway though.

Not so fast imho, we might have a 4-4-2 there.

Malaga played 4-4-2 away and 4-3-3 home last season.

Gillie

on each tweet...in the bottom right hand corner is a "more" button. Click that and select "Embed Tweet" and just copy the code that comes up -- which is the entire Embed URL. Inside the string after you paste it you will find a string of numbers like MRM shows above which is the unique tweet ID. Delete the entire rest of the text except for the set of numbers after the <a href> portion of that code...it will follow the word statuses/

so i did this and grabbed the code from some random tweet in my feed:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Winter is coming..</p>&mdash; Reuven Cohen (@rUv) <a href="https://twitter.com/rUv/statuses/357957315279851520">July 18, 2013</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

then i just created the new tweet block[tweet][/tweet] and grabbed this string of numbers from the code above....

357957315279851520

and i'll paste in inbetween the tweet tags just like you would with an image or anything else. Make sense?
