I've never thought of Toure as dominant in the air. For some reason I have it in my head he isn't the best in the air. Can't think of any incidents at the minute but he hasn't played a lot for City recently.
Anyone else know what Toure's like in the air?
It seems that was the plan. Mignolet wasn't even badly needed with Reina but other starting players are. We haven't improved at all yet IMO. We'll be far weaker when Suarze goes. Then we'll need at least 3 class players. I just can't see it happening.
We will still need a class attacking player and centre back if Suarez stays or goes. Go get them now.
We'll end up paying more for players if we wait for someone to pay the price they are looking to sell Suarez for.
It's not really hard to buy anyone regardless of what happens with Suarez. If they are willing to spend money, do it now. Then have other deals in place if they agree to sell Suarez.
I think the transfer committee might prove to be good in time. And they only done that cos Rodgers refused to work with Director of Football so they set this up instead to keep an eye on him.
Is our win percentage in all games not about the same? We were close enough to 4th when Suarez got stitched up with help from FSG and Ayre's incompetence.
Reinvesting the money isnt enough. Where has the 20m net budget gone? And the 35m tv deal money?
We will continue to stand still or get worse while we sell our best players.
Everything said in here is opinion. I think we'd do better next season wuth Suarez than we would if we sild him and bought 3 players. Not sure we'd get less points cos after last summer's transfer disaster we were shit for months. Surely we can't that shit again.
Buying a few good players for starting 11 might do that, not squad players as Rodgers has called his signings so far.
Basically, show some ambition to back your words about wanting to be a top team again.
Modric and Ronaldo were both made to stay longer than they wanted. I think Newcadtle even made Colloccini stay. We're not in a position to be in decent shape aftet selling our best player.
