Cant see a lot of business, maybe a loan or something.
The idea we should sell mangala is just nuts.

I would like Isco in either of the next 2 windows too, but why would he move. He plays most games at Real and doesn't seem unhappy.

If Isco comes, he starts.

Who's going to sit down for him?

Isco is in the same mould as Dave and Sami. We have missed their inventiveness for the last 6 weeks. My ideal 3 behind Aguero would be Isco, KDB and Big Dave. I think we have played 21 games so far this season! Plenty of opportunity for Navas and Sterling to get game time. Long term there are question marks over Sami.

The right back position concerns me. We lose a lot of attacking threat with Sagna ( although I admit he has been surprisingly good this season)
When Zabba is fit, he looks on the decline and I have no idea if Maffeo is close to being ready, although I'm told not.

Also MDM is declining rapidly now sadly.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

We deffo need another quality center forward , we are over reliant on Aguero this season and Bony misfiring it's a no brainer for me . January however is a ridiculously difficult transfer window .
Not really here

He is probably the biggest choker of the past 20 years. Consistently shits himself when presented with chances to score in big games.

- Missed a huge chance in the WC final
- Missed a bigger chance in the last second of the Copa America final (with the score 0-0). Then missed a penalty in the shootout.
- Missed a penalty to move Napoli into the chumps league in the last game of the season last year
- Missed a great chance the year before in the Copa Italia final
.... and a few more:

Don't want him anywhere near our team. Also very surprised Messi, Sergio, Otter, Zabbs, or another teammate hasn't murdered him after the last two international tournaments

I don't care at all if he scores a few league goals vs Inter. If you want to win trophies you keep him the fuck away from your team. When the pressure is on, he has as much spine as a jellyfish

Relax mate, btw this is the biggest game in Serie A this season to-date 60,000 he has done the biz, top finisher always fit. Jovetic hit the post last seconds. Bobby Manc loses top spot.

I am relaxed mate. I just find it absurd that you think he would be a good transfer. He would set the 'typical City' bar to new heights; do well in the league and group stages, only to miss the crucial chances in a cup final or last game of the season.

We already have players missing tap-ins under pressure and you want to add Higuain to the mix? LOL

Look at it this way... if he could have kept his head and finish when it mattered, Messi would probably be regarded as the greatest player of all time. But because of Gonzalo's complete failure when it really matters, Messi is still seen as a step below Pele, Maradona, & co. Plus he took a World Cup and Copa America away from Sergio, Pablo, and Demi (which contributed to our underwhelming start to the season last year). How great would it have been for Aguero to win a World Cup, eh?

Higuain can go fuck himself and stay far away from City.

You seem to be basing all your opinion of him on one moment in the World Cup

Which by the way, in a game where messi and serge were also shit - shitter than him by your logic as at least he got himself into a scoring position

Anyway - we need a striker, bony showed once again at the weekend that he is not good enough - I'd settle for Dave villa on a short term

Nailed on then ! You have to remember being third pick to the two you mention is no disgrace and Messi has the lack of a World Cup winners medal as a stick beating him daily. Sergio done great stuff for Argentina but no more than Higuain who again converted 2 out of three chances and the keeper pulled of a great save to stop the third. Bobby Mancs comment from last night Quote.. “Higuain is a remarkable striker, he only needs half a chance and he scores. Higuain certainly makes an enormous difference.
