[dazby]

Neymar in and one out.

Reus cost Dortmund 17m and is there highest paid player on 80k a week. Just signed in July no chance of getting him.

Bloody good though!

while we signed Sinclair
and Xavi Garcia not been able to take DeRossi off an over-debted Club.

January signings are for relegation sides, though.
Let's work the better off what we have. More than enough to excel in two competitions only.

No new signings needed. We have enough to win the league as that's all we've got left (FA Cup aside). So unless someone throws their toys out of the pram before Christmas or Mancini loses his rag with someone, then I can't see any new players arriving in January.

Our two dire needs are pace and width up top, and a decent central midfielder to assist Ya Ya, and even replace him at times as he's been particularly underwhelming all season.

In the ideal world Gareth Bale, and either Fellaini or Schweinsteger fill those vacancies. In the real world transfers like that dont happen in January, so we will be waiting until the summer for the real quality the squad is crying out for. The last thing we need is additions that simply add bodies, but dont add to the quality of the squad.

From last summers business, Nastasic looks like a quality purchase, whereas Rodwell, Garcia, Sinclair, Wright and Maicon simply added numbers, but didnt really enhance what we already had.

[Lev Bronstein]

Just wondered if we kept the receipts from our summer signings, in which case, we maybe entitled for a refund, as they were 'not as described on the box'! maybe except Nasti, who seems to be coming on a bit!

Just chatting about the same thing tonight, no wonder Bobby fell out with Marwood

Fellaini to take some of the workload off Yaya.

That bit of business would win us the league imo.

Yep. That is who I have in mind. His contract is up in 18 months and Everton are not in a position to let him get to 12 months. I think we would have some serious competition if he was up for sale though. Him and Baynes are the only players outside the top 4 that would get a game for us.

On current form he'd walk into any team in the prem, I don't believe for a second the toffees would sell him us though. Got a horrible feeling they'll try and rape us on the price just because were "oil rich city", and then Moyes will pass him on to his bum chum down at the swamp.

After spending all that money players why do we still need to buy to improve? One word, Mancini..You would think tthat a squad like ours should go from strenght to strenght season after season, but dont look tge case to me...

we did spend a lot of money on players ... unfortunately I think mancini only wanted 2 out of those ... and it was maicon and nasti. Maicon has been a bit hit and miss, quality crossing though ... but nasti looks good. If the others were Mancini buys, they would get games, simple as that.

I do agree to your point though, if we're going to spend money, it has to be to improve the team and that certainly has not been the case this season.

[TurkMCFC]

i think once Maicon gets better with his fitness he will be solid, Nastasic looks cool as an ice cube while handling the ball after a tough little start in the beginning. Great signing.

[Mase]

I don't think we need anyone. We just need to involve Kolarov more.

Yes Pal, but still Mancini is responsible and culprit for having sanctioned the panic buys resulted thereby.
Wasting the Club money instead of calling up the amateur inefficiency and focusing on develop Youngsters like Razak, Rekik and Suarez.
It was only matter of time the Club had filled the blank roles.
