We need a half decent striker as Willfried is simply not up to it and never will be for us.
After a season and a half it is clear Mangala is a £48m dud. He needs to go at probably less than half we paid for him but he won't. However we do have good potential coming thru the EDS.
Zabba is becoming more and more injury prone so we need to look at this but we won't.
Carry on Pike!

IF and it's a big IF we have a new manager coming at the end of this season then getting new players in Jan simply won't happen

As clear as every other lie the media would have you believe, although you've exaggerated this one even further than they ever did.

I'm not sure if Mangala was great value at £29m but he's mch better than the shite they have at swamp.

Not sure how much activity there will be in January. It's usually quieter than expected. The best players are not available and that's where we shop.

A couple of creative cheeky loans similar to the vieira Pizarro ones a few seasons ago pref in attack would be nice, maybe villa. I wouldn't b keen to spend big on short term options prefer to do business in the summer like we did.

You mustn't have had many chances to watch City playing this season to come to the conclusion that Mangalas a dud.I'm really pleased with him this season and think he's shown he might actually turn out to prove his worth here.

I would happily look at another striker though.I don't dislike Bony but he's clearly not producing the goods, Dzeko would be in double figures with the service he's getting.

Alex Sandro? Would Juve really sell in the middle of the season though and why have 3 left backs?

Would Demichelis really leave for River Plate then either? Won't that affect his ability to earn any trophies we win? In other words, why not go after the season. I know he wants to play more, but look at our injury record. He's been playing more.

We are not getting a striker as some seem to hope.

Honestly, I doubt we do much at all.

Nothing until the summer. The likes of Mangala and Bony will be given as much time as possible and as much a new striker would be welcomed there isn't a chance of an elite one being available in January with added bonus of Kelechi being pushed down even further.

No changes. No one in. No one out. And Mangala is fine btw.

Summer?

Pony can get on his horse and fukkennnn ride yo.

Buy a goddam striker.

Bring some kids through legit style. Garcia, Barker, Zucchini, Denayer, one of those fullback kids or two.

Cheers

Isco to replace Nasri for me.

Demi will go.....hes done us proud but now is the time for him to go.

Noone else will go as its odds on Guardiola will be here in the summer and he will decide who goes.

No matter - These cunts should be sold.

Bony
YAYA
Nasri
Mangala

Mark my words...if Guardiola comes in , then 99% of the above will be gone...if not all.

It's a difficult one. Nasri has surely played his last game for us with Demichelis going at some point as well. Who comes in? Well, it's fantasy football time and I have always maintained that Isco is a must have for us. We then need a quality central midfielder with a bit of everything and there aren't a lot around. The only ones I can think of would be Thiago Alacantara of Bayern and obviously Pogba and for whatever reason you can't realistically see us signing them.

Not too sure about Bony as I thought he was decent in flashes today but it was a terrible shot (the offside effort) so the jury is still out.

Nasri is surely going after this season now.

if 99% go what is the other 1%?

Demi will stay for the season now surely unless we can get Denayer back ( he shouldn't have goone in the first place)
Bony aslo likely to stay and we know he can do something but some of his performances (today's 30 minutes was dire) make me wonder why Kelechi isn't getting more time.

Kelechi must be brought into the CL squad for Nasri.

Mangala will be fine.Poor against LPool where we forgot to field a midfield but otherwise was showing some good signs.

No way Mangala should leave. Unlikely Yaya either. Our midfield with 2 cunts supporting him was fantastic first half today. We bossed it.

Bony and Nasri can fuck off immediately as they are useless or injured.

Cheers

I'm sure some on here will be licking it but nothing will happen as far as City are concerned.

Was a bad miss by Wilf but he also had a great touch to setup our 3rd goal. He's a talented guy and still brings a lot to the team even if his finishing is abysmal atm.
Mangala looks great when playing with Komps and will probably look just as goo with the Otter soon too. He seems to be the brawn rather than the brains and his touch can be strange, but is an athlete and solid defender with the right players around him.

You can fuck off with even hinting at selling Zabba. He is the embodiment of a warrior for our team.

As a side note, you may be the most negative poster I've seen on here.

Also, Yaya ain't leaving Carl. Get over it.
