Sorry, but if we somehow got our hands on Milner, Bale and Sturridge (obviously never goig to happen with any of those three) then Carroll would not be in the side!
seeing nobody else answered.... on the bbc gossip section. I saw it too. hazard merely stoked it up so if you are so sure you're getting the guy fine but the rest of us see that transfer going on all summer and some big lcub paying big wages taking him... you don't pay big enough wages.
the Hazard thing will go on all summer, and the UK media will overhype it to no end. I can see him being linked with most of the top English clubs and in the end will end up at....Real Madrid. Highly predictable.
yup... its really inevitable. the fact is man city pay huge wages but.... real cheat the tax system so you get more there. england generally is hemoraging stars yet have more moeny in revenue that other leagues... why? tax pure and simple. they come to make a name but once they do they want the money... hell isn't that useless celtic winger...mcgeady in russia earning a fortune?
Litterally haven't seen it anywhere, that's why I asked. I don't think we'll sign him and from the few times I've seen him, he didn't look like a £30mill player. With 'Arry's future up in the air, I'd be very surprised if we made any significant signings before it's resolved one way or the other.
Talking of one of our own wingers, I really couldn't care less if Downing doesn't start another game this season...It just seems like he is never going to improve.
ok, it was on the beeb gossip as hazard said it over the weekend... it was press fishing but i think he's dying for real and there's only so many palces in that side. barca the same so perhaps the lesson is to go pick up the bargains off the spanish sides ala vdv.
I don't rate Hazard, just looking at the YouTube videos, and we all know YouTube can make Poulsen look good, well Hazard, doesn't look that good! He has all the tricky footwork, but all the clips end when he passes the ball, as the balls don't come to anything. We already have Downing doing that job for us, yes he can come in and get one or two himself, but so does Maxi, and I'd prefer the devil I know and trust, rather than going after a flash in the pan, man of the moment. You also have to note that he gets a lot more room in France than he would over here, so I see him doing even less in England.
Reminds me of Bentley, flattering to deceive at a lower club only to be found out as totally one dimensional when playing in a team that has variety in it's game.
torres didn't score before he came here... now he's not scoring after leaving. perhaps the moral of the story is buy players who can play the way we want to play i nthe system we want and not guys who have to "change" to fit in... ala carroll and it seems downing.
