transfer listed?

[Pea Wack]

Rafa wouldn't go near Elano with a bargepole. Aside from the fact that he's nothing special, he's lazy and not a team player.

[RoboRiise]

Some very bad reports doing the rounds regarding his attitude and his failure to stay fit.

 

 

I've heard that from City fans at work, that he basically started believing his headlines and neglected to put in the effort that got him those positive comments in the first place.

 

I have to admit that I thought he was a little over-hyped when all that "next Steven Gerrard" stuff was doing the rounds, although he certainly did look a prospect. Probably still could be if he gets his finger out.

 

In some ways, it would possibly help him to go to a larger club - at a club like City, it's easy to see how a young player with his talent could end up being a bit of a Billy Big Bollocks whereas at LFC, for example, there's no way he'd be allowed to get away with that shit.

 

The one I'd still have from their squad tomorrow is Richards. He's hardly been pulling up any trees this season either but with the likes of Carra and Sami to mentor him, I honestly believe Rafa could turn that lad into a world beater - he's got all the attributes, he just needs to learn when and how to use them.

[Guest Dog Chaser]

Micah Richards is carrying too much weight at the moment and he is prone to concentration lapses. Agree with RoboRiise that he is the only player i would take off their hands, massive potential that lad

[Anubis]

Micah Richards is carrying too much weight at the moment..

 

It's like The Nutty Professor in reverse. Richards was Buddy Love and has turned into Sherman Klump.

[Woo]

Elano would be a good signing ONLY if Vic Reeves gets to read his name out when they announce the teams.

 

Hahahaha. From now on that is the only way I am going to say his name. Along with Onyewu who was at Newcastle.

That Jo is proper crap. And a girls name too.

[WaltonRed]

Jo will end up on loan at Everton I reckon

[Bubsa]

Be very surprised if they let Onuoha go. He's half decent.

 

Feel sorry for Ben Haim. You flop at Chelski, go to Man City, only for it to be taken over by owners who do not recognise the nation of Israel.

 

Talk about luck!

Has he been taking Weight Gain 4000?

Jo will end up on loan at Everton I reckon

 

That'd be superb, really. A slow, lazy, waster whom cannot hit a barndoor with a banjo as Everton's only healthy striker!!

Micah Richards has never been an amazing defender. He's pretty raw, but he has such phenomenal physical attributes he could dig himself out of trouble with a lung bursting sprint chase if he fucked up. He's definitely looked a yard off the pace this season - but then again he's been injured quite frequently which could have made a difference. He's ridiculously highly rated though, so his price tag is going to be obscene.

 

I've heard a few of the Michael "George Best" Johnson rumours doing the rounds in Manchester. According to some more reliable sources, there's definitely some truth in there although again, injuries have definitely not helped. If the price was right, I'd take him in a shot. He's a very different central midfielder to what we have at the moment and I could see him blossoming into a Gerrard-esque attacking midfielder: a guy who's game combines the physical with the technical. I'd agree with RoboRiise though - I think he struggles being a self and media appointed big fish in a small pond. Maybe a move upwards would help him.

Thats modern football for you. Athleticism first football ability second

[George Costanza]

Johnson will sign for Everton i reckon and make a pretty decent partnership with Screech Powers.

 

Can't stand Micah Richards. He's a thick, bigheaded, arrogant twat. He has all the maings of becoming a class player but his attitude could hold him back. He's a better right back too as he's not good enough positionally to play centrally IMO

[hamstrung]

He could probably turn himself into a Sol Campbell clone given time. Stand somewhere in the middle and head stuff/foul people.

[Bubsa]

Yeah, Micah does strike me as a player very similar to Sergio Ramos in terms of athleticism and potential. Difference being, Ramos has fulfilled his potential and I'd put that down to attitude.

 

But blow me, Micah's still only 20? He's got a way to go yet. Here's hoping for him.

Manchester City include Michael Johnson in deal to sign Scott Parker - Times Online

 

Scott Parker? All this for Scott fucking Parker? Selling one of the best young English players for a journeyman. And getting Bellamy on top of that. I'd bite their hands off if I was West Ham.

[Heinze]

elano scored against me in fifa last night.

 

cunt.

[The Infamous_LF]

Would take a punt at Elano I believe there is a player in there, he was sublime in the first 5 months of his stint at City.

 

Believe under the right coaching Richards could be a Thuram clone

[bobhorse]

If Mark Hughes had come to me and said here are the names of the players i want to sign and here are the ones i want to let go i have sacked the cunt

[odris]

I believe City will soon be a formidable force...in the Championship.

The fact that Man City are willing to unload him for a known and arguably lesser (potential) quality says a lot. Maybe those whispers are true.

[dirty_sanchez]

He'll fit in well with Saha and The Yak then.

Thing is, who are Citeh realistically going to sign. Most decent players won't go there because they aren't in the Champions League.
