Manchester City Thread

Nothing different from what happened at Inter.

I love Maureen but I also think Bobby has done a great job.
Ideal world would be keep Silva and get Sneijder in to back him up.

Two go forward midfielders and a Gattuso type player to back up yaya.

That Gattuso type player your wanting is Daniele Di Rossi and Mancini has tried to sign him on numerous different occassions as has Mourinho and has been heavily linked with Utd in the past. The only thing is he loves Roma too much and would find it hard to leave the place hes Roma through n through.

i doubt the owners are negotiating behind his back but i wouldn't rule it out totally.

Dnt read alot in to that guys, lets just see how the season pans out and we will know more in the summer. Mancini is still the manager he hasn't failed anyone yet, i doubt the owners are negotiating behind his back but i wouldn't rule it out totally.

David Silvas linked with a move to Real, Real or Barce would probly be the only 2 clubs who could prise him away from City.

I just hope he brings Ronaldo with him.

when you take into account last year they posted a loss of ?197m, and wages of ?174m, there still on track.

Mansour made it clear when he took over that he would spend the fortunes necessary to make City successful, and since June 2010
he has personally poured a further ?291m into the club. Added to the ?500m Mansour invested up to May 31 2010, he has now spent an unprecedented ?800m on the football club,
While seeing the need to comply with Uefa's "financial fair play" rules, privately City are bullish too.
Their 6-1 derby victory over United last month highlighted a sudden startling contrast between the Manchester club which has been pumped up by ?800m owner investment,
and United which, as their latest financial figures revealed this week, has now had ?578m drained out by the Glazer family's 2005 debt-laden takeover.

And there's a lot more to come yet, they have put in a proposal to Manchester council to buy the stadium outright, and increase the ground capacity to 75k by building a third tier,
then there's the new Etihad Campus training facility, a ?600 million investment at Manchester Airport creating a British hub for Etihad Airways and 100 new jobs,
at the rate of investment there putting into Manchester as a whole, and the regeneration of east Manchester, the council are bending over backwards to keep the owners happy, so I can see the proposals going ahead.

Reports have also emanated in media circles have speculated at an attempt to create the largest stadium in English football
to match with the owners ambitions of creating the best possible football club on and off the pitch.

still early days yet, there looking at another 5 years, to near completion of there overall project. happy days

Good result today, thought Aguero had an excellent game, and it answered a question whether he could play in freezing conditions,
as we know, not all south Americans like our winters, but didn't seem to bother him,
he did say he likes playing in cold conditions when he joined the club, and it seems he does.

aleister, don't know if you watch the inside city video's on there website each week, but thought this weeks was funny, when they were doing the super bowl photo shoot.
