Hello fellas, Just want to assure you guys Javi Garcia is a great signing for ManCity. He's a fantastic defensive midfielder. Very tall and strong player, great tackling. Good header, definitely better than Nigel De Jong. Javi will pair well with Rodwell and Yaya and and take care of the defensive side of the game giving Yaya more of a free role to roam. I've been following ManCity in recent years. Yaya Toure is a one of my favorite midfielder, complete overall mid who can defend and attack. Currently watching ManCity vs. QPR right now. Saw the last ManCity QPR game which you guys won the BPL, absolutely amazing game! The look on the ManUtd players face was priceless! Javi will be extremely missed at Benfica. He was absolutely crucial for us in recent seasons. This might put you guys at rest if you have any doubts about it, last season Javi was injured for about a month. In that month Benfica played without Javi, we did not win any of the 4 games. Tied, 3 lost 1. As soon as he returned, Benfica starting winning again. That's how important he was for us. That's why I have doubts about how well Benfica will do this season since we don't have an adequate replacement for him. Anyways, Want to wish Javi and ManCity best of of luck this season! Will be routing for you guys again.
Mario has left the building... a mixture of sadness and relief from me. So much frustration yet signs of a world class player in there. Man of the Match in the game that ended our 35 year trophy drought, immense performance in the 6-1 massacre, and of course the assist to Aguero in 'that' game. Of course you can't ignore the other side of things which were sadly more dominant... the red cards, strops, lazy performances. But I wish him the best and hope he succeeds at Milan. I think Txiki Begiristain is going to do a major squad revamp this summer, even Dzeko could go as we may only play one forward in a 4-3-3 system next year. I think we will sign a player of Cavani or Falcao's ilk and play Aguero off him with Tevez and Guidetti as backups next season. But I also think Txiki will add some of the elusive pace and width to the team for variety.
1) Confirmed 2013 summer transfers, IN: Jesus Navas Fernandinho OUT: Kolo Toure Bridge Santa Cruz Management changes: Mancini out, Pellegrini in 2) Rumored 2013 summer transfers, IN: Isco Cavani OUT: Dzeko Good so far?
So the likely XI next year could be: ___________Hart___________ Zabaleta_Nastasic_Kompany_Clichy ____Toure____Fernandinho____ Navas______Isco________Silva __________Aguero_________ I think there's absolutely no point in signing Cavani because he's not the type of guy who can partner Aguero, and it would be a waste for either of them to be benched.
is Pepe a real target. I hope not, he is a red card waiting to happen I prefer a younger CB like Papadopoulos..
