i agree, some liverpool fans (like their united counterparts) are imbeciles who revel in the respective disasters which have affected both clubs. those concerned would probably scream obscenities if united fans did it about hillsborough......................

Bojan will be used probably alot more next year [iWHEN[/i Eto'o leaves and Henry shifts to main striker.

Good player but overrated IMO. I don't blame United not wanting to spend £25m. He's certainly not worth a fee of £25-30m.

We are apparently also going to be signing Santa Cruz from Blackburn.

I would guess that our front three next year will be:
Tevez
RSC
Robihno

Intelligent and skillful trio. However, that frontline lacks genuine pace. All our pace will probably be on the bench - SWP and Bellamy. We need a centre-foward with a tad more pace.

Eto'o isnt the quickest player either.

Barca should let Eto'o walk (as he is being ruled by money) and abandon any Ibrahimovic move and hijack the Real bid for Villa IMO. But I fear the Swedish Bosnian lazybones maybe heading for Barca.

I see Mascherano's agent has today said he would welcome a move to Barca?

Also Liverpool linked with Goran Pandev at Lazio but not Lavezzi.

SOS mean well and have done some excellent work for the fans over the past year or so. I just think allowing things like this damages their reputation, and the club's image. I heard it was a brilliant night, seems a shame that all of the good work could be ruined by a few idiots.

Pandev would be better than Lavezzi and he is only a year older.

Lavezzi has 15 goals in 57 games for Napoli and i dont think that is really good enough.
Pandev has 51 in 134 for Lazio.

Pandev would be the better signing IMO.

I can't see Mascherano fitting in too well at Barca, he very often goes off like a lunatic chasing players and i dont think Barca play that way, they are a skillful team who will sit and wait then go at the right time rather than rush like a headless chicken at the opposition.

I'd rather Zarate over Pandev

I know. The problem we have is one faced by many clubs - we need a centre-forward who can can play upfont on his own, good in the air, effective at holding-up the ball and bringing others into play and someone with pace. There are only three forwards who can do that in the Prem - Torres, Drogba and, when he can be bothered, Adebayor.

Benzema has the potential, that's what makes him so sought after.

There are a few other players who fit the bill, but just don't seem good enough for the top, like Mario Gomez & Amauri.

I don't think the £25m price tag was the big stumbling block, the £160k a week in wages for a bench player however

The 1st thing you should do is introduce him to your treatment room(he'll be spending a lot of his time there).When fit he's a great player but we were lucky to get a full season out of him last year and this season he's been back to his usual self spending most of it off the pitch.

Could have been worse I suppose - it might have been Siberia, or even sleeping with the fishes.

Quelle surprise.

Remi Gaillard again


don't think there is any copyright issue on this as he must spend days getting himself filmed

very good - but i reckon there must be thousands of hours of out takes of him casually sauntering off then having to go legging it after the ball when he misses the target

At least he won't be bored with the likelihood of Bellamy joining him regularly.

I wonder what odds I would get for both of these never being fit at the same time.

I have always thought Bellamy was a good player before he came to City but I never realised how good he actually was until he played for us.

Even if Eto'o and Tevez don't sign, City will bring in another couple of strikers that are likely to get more game time than Bellamy and RSC. Neither player is likely to be seriously overworked. It should be possible to manage their injury problems.

He's a good player but apart from his biscuit body, he's not in the same league as Tevez, Eto'o and Robinho.*

*I appreciate that is stating the obvious but it warranted saying.

I used to say the same about Benayoun. Now I realize he's world class

its funny how things go with the amount of strikers a team has.

as a manchester united fan i have often ben questioned by my dad on why manchesrter united have so many and where all of them are going to play.

now manchester city could potencially have 4 maybe 5 strikers next season i posed the same question to him and what a suprise its different according to him.

also just to make my prediction for tonights england match.

england 5

andorra 0

Type "SHOCKING leg break - Oupa Ngulube vs Black Aces" in you know where

One of the things that Hughes needs to bear in mind is that City wil not be playing as many games as the top 4 clubs, due to not playing in Europe and our fine tradition of ritual humiliation in the domestic cups. Keeping all the players happy will be tricky if there are 5 or 6 internationals not even making the bench on a regular basis.
