And so the speculation starts.

...and so the magic roundabout starts all over again...another round of new players...another period of waiting for new players to be settled in...AND THE TARGET IS STILL TOP FOUR THIS SEASON.

Hughes was already talking about new signings in January so what's the difference?

Jon,
Pretending stupidity ain't your best talent.

Pretty obvious he was planning to sign enough players so he could say that they hadn't gelled yet...

I thought the target was top 6? That was according to NQDP yesterday wasn't it?

Are you going down to see what's going on tomorrow doug?

I am going tomorrow or else Lewis might do one :)

No chance I would have thought that they will be out there but I need the walk anyway. And I can chat to that nice man on the gate to see what he has to say or if he is in a foul mood like he was last time I spoke with him.

Mancini will have been watching City for quite a period of time and have ideas as to where we need to improve.

I'd like to see a new left back (Lahm would be fantastic but maybe not realistic), commanding centre half who wins headers & is vocal (Van Buyten) and a genuine goalscorer with pace (get down to Liverpool and make them an offer for Torres that they cannot refuse).

Defence is the key areas to get right especially as Toure will be of in January (with Adebayor) and Lescott is out injured for 2 months.

How exactly is "manciti" pronounced?

If its pronounced "Man shitty" I can see the rags having a field day with that one
