    Sell one benchwarmer for 37m and replace him with another for 10m. Great business. See ya later Juan.

    He will never leave England.

    He can play on both wings and through the middle.

    Good player in a **** league. Certainly glad we didn't get him, been saying it for days now that I hope it fell through. So thanks Jose <ok>

    I guess he'll improve though as the kids only 21, so maybe he'll turn out a good buy.

    Funny how you never wanted players once they've turned you down.

    Salah could theoretically play in goal too but he's a winger.

    Go look on our Transfer thread - I didn't want Salah from day 1. Other people may have done, but you'll see I certainly didn't <ok>

    He is a good buy as back-up he will be at the back of the list of our wingers right now but he is young and has looked good whenever I seen him!!

    Yep, link him with De Bruyn not Mata. We are still desperately in need of someone to control and run the midfield, have been for 3 years.

    I know this is a main bug bear for you CP but who does this for City? Matic is essentially a Yaya type so will aid steel and drive to the midfield. But there are only so many Xaxi's and Alonso's out there. As I say, City cope fine without one.

    Matic and Mikel could be brilliant I think!

    Has he signed yet or is it in the process of being done?

    I ask as Jose will not let Mata sign for UTD until Moham deal is done (so the papers say)

    Not just City. In many ways it's an outdate role when playing 4231. It's good for 433 but we don't play it.

    I assume it will be Ramires and Matic first choice but Mikel would also work. Think Ramires adds goals and drive from midfield. I'd certainly only use Mikel in games where we might need to defend more.

    Probably, but I'm still not a fan of Ramires in this formation. Too much reliance on him to pass the ball, which he isn't very good at! Hopefully Matic can sort out the problems and compensate for what both Mikel and Ramires are unable to do when playing alongside either of them.
