worth £20+ mil? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/8149488.stm i hope man city do fuck all!! its just gettin daft
i'd hoped this didn't happen, and aside from robinho last season, it looked like it wouldn't, but now man city are just trying to buy every good player in the permiership. why do they need so many strikers? in buying players like robinho, bellamy, de jong, given, etc. they'd given themselves a solid base of players to build on and add a few more. now i think they're trying to play championship manager.
Adebayor is shite anyway. Bar scoring a few spectacular volleys every now and again i think hes garbage. He's not that good at finishing, doesn't have blistering pace and he's a whinging cunt. Man City don't need him but let them have him, they still won't break into the top 4. Not with their defence. There's only Dunne whos any good, Richards was only good for 6 months then has been shit the rest of the defence is toilet. I'd love to know what formation they'll play something like a 2 2 6 by the looks of things.
I rate Adebayor personally but cant see him fitting into the team really with all them strikers, its pretty much the same as my pre season spending on Champ Manager. By buying all these big money players Hughes is going to have a lot of egos to handle and some players aren't going to be happy about being left out for the big games (like Tevez for example). That's when the real problems will start.
Like it or not, they could be a force to be reckoned with next season IMO if they can tighten up their defence. Their midfield and forward line at the moment will consist of: Wright Phillips Ireland Barry Robinho Tevez Santa Cruz/Adebayor I dont agree with what they are doing at all, though if Hughes can get the players to gel and can bring in a couple of top quality defenders they will be a safe bet for top 4 next season. The question is over Hughes as a manager and if he can get them to gel, i have seen nothing at man city to suggest that he will do the business, and my money is on him being out by christmas and them to throw silly money at some of the big guns to get them to replace him.
Especially when he couldn't hit a barn door in Germany. I still rate him but he's not woth £18 million. I forgot about Wayne Bridge. So they aren't looking as bad in defence but they need a new right back and another centre half. to partner Bridge and Dunne.
i just think its mental! why has hughes decided he needs 300 forwards. who's he's gonna play, neither robihino or tevez will be happy on the bench and both will spit their dummies out if they are. That leave's bellamy, adabyor, santa cruz?
