Serious question. Have we actually got rid of anyone yet because by my reckoning, we're gonna have a 48 man squad next season?

im getting the feeling that this Dzeko thing is a pile of bull.

im also getting the feeling that nohing much is going to happen before the WC is over.. as we discussed in the cook in spain thread.. too much hinges on Real as top of the pecking order.. and now Bourinho has moved there it will certainly slow things up while he chases Chelsea players and the like.. non of which is likely to get into motion before the WC is over.

And here was me beleiving them when they said they wanted it all wrapped up before the WC starts. I thought this was going to be an interesting couple of weeks, instead it is like watching a non-stop video of your favourite nosh being offered to you but told tea time has to wait.. and the whole thing on a daily loop.

i blame Bourinho.. not only does he bore us to death on the pitch he somehow manages to conspire to bore us all summer

I only wish "bourinho" would come and bore me at City, as it must be terribly borong winning things year after year after year after year after year etc etc.

Anybody who wouldn't have him at City is either an idiot or doesn't want guaranteed success.

[blackburnblue]

I must be an idiot then. I honestly don't think that we're at the stage whereby he needs us or more importantly he would be the right manager for us.
I'm not saying he isn't a brilliant manager-probably the best-but first we need to qualify for the champs league and get ourselves into a position where we can challenge Chelsea and the Rags for the title.
Once we've reached that phase THEN would be the time-possibly in a year's time- to bring the special one in so we can progress to the final phase ie winning the title and hopefully the champs league.
In the meantime let's get behind Bobby and trust him to bring in the right quality of players to challenge for a top 3 place and a trophy(or two!) this season.
Come on City!!!!!!

[bluechester]

mourinho will be scum boss in a few years, not us

im ITK so that is defo true

[blackburnblue]

My money says he'll come to us-he relishes a challege.

[brite blu sky]

you will have to count me as an idiot too.

( but i rekon our Jose will come unstuck with the Madreleños )

I really dont think mourinho relishes a challenge. The only challenging situation was porto and he spent alot of money. Chelsea, Inter and Madrid are hardly challenges.

My bet is hes not as confident in his own ability as he thinks to come here. And that would be WITH an open cheque book. Then again, pressure would be immense at the rags, living in bacons shadow and not as much money.
