Looking more like Hank Scorpio at the moment.

DJ Campbell's hopes of a big money deal from Blackpool have been dashed by injury.

 

DJ has a slipped disc.

[Simbo]

Apparently we've enquired about Lukaku.

 

I've got one thing to say to that.......

 

 

Shikaka!!!!

[dirty_sanchez]

LUKAKU!

Sounds like Citys money has managed to convince them to part with him.

Whats the point of going to City?

 

He'll never play.

[JohnnyH]

And 1 by 1 they fall away......

[WaltonRed]

Indeed Johnny, my optimism has drained.

 

We wont sign anyone will we? Boo-hoo!

carlton cole and clint dempsey are still available :whistle:

[Ted]

Tevez to Madrid. Lukaku the replacement.

did they not already have that replacement with dzeko?

[lucozade]

Yep. Guess it was always likely there wouldn't be much action before the summer. Still we live in hope.

[Christian]

I think Van Bommel would be an excellent signing to protect our ropey back 4 until we sign new defensive players in the summer.

Warnock is total shite.

Suarez reminds me of an icing on the cake type player when we still need more "cake". Or something.

Dzeko and part time winger striker Balotelli would be the only ones left. They will sell Adebayor and Jo. If Tevez leaves for Madrid then they might be looking at Lukaku tbh.

Imagine if the only business we did this Jan was Babel out, Warnock and Van Bommel in on frees/ loans.

 

I would start the hate, right there and then.

[dennis tooth]

Yep and they've already drawn up plans to replace him with some other flavour of the month so Dzeko can be sold at a loss. Bet the City fans can't wait.

They they probably hate all this top class talent coming into the club, being linked with every exciting player in the world, and being top of the league.

 

It must be shit.

[coachpotato]

Could city be signing up players with a view to stopping others getting them?

 

Because they can?

 

I expect that's too simplistic and the new rules on finance (if they ever get implemented) would sort that sort of thing out?

I think he'd be a great bit of business too. A cynical bastard if ever there was one, but at least he can tackle and pass the ball to a teammate.

According to FFP, teams' wages cannot exceed 70% of their revenue. Ours is 56% or something. City is well over 100%..

I think they could well be, Dzeko could have gone to anywhere in the top teams of the premier league.

 

Although, it wont be long before players start wanting to move, David Silva anyone next January?
