I've given up on Alonso! It seems that he has impressed since he's gone back and Fiorentina now seem reluctant to let him go!
Sure I read somewhere he has been playing as a left sided central defender and done well, hence the no go on the transfer.
I reckon we're nailed on to get 2 domestic loans. 1 from Man City, 1 from Chelsea. I'll guess Victor Moses from Chelsea and James Milner from Man City. I just got a feeling
Would love that mate, two fringe players from their respective clubs who could possibly shine under poyet & co!
City need to retain an English quota I think, selling Rodwell and maybe Sinclair, I'd imagine they'd wanna keep hold of Milner this season. I've said Moses since before the transfer window opened, a quality player on his day that appears surplus to requirements given his competition at Stamford Bridge.
Central defender is a must but I guess that is Vergini. If we can shift Graham, N'Daiye, Ba (loan) & Scocco already gone then there is more than enough room for further recruits. Moses is a great, we still have a thin squad and no cover could be the difference between relegation and staying up. Borini will hopefully be the last big buy and others will be squad fillers.
I'm sure Milner was making noises last week saying he wanted more playing time this season and to be fair to him he's a quality player who should be playing more. Whether he's good enough to be playing regularly for city is open to debate. I think it's possible he could move on
Yeah, no arguments with any of that, other than them having to satisfy the home grown quota I can't see him being given any more game time this season than he was last. City have maybe 3 Englishmen on their books now and all but Joe Hart have been linked with moves away. City are an embarrassing representation of modern English football, having them represent us on the continent is a joke, I'd sooner get behind Liverpool than that bunch of foreigners.
Wellbeck would be interesting, although not see him linked with Van Gaal's **** list as yet! Must be keeping his head down....
