so, Sunderland have offered 4 mill for Jozy Altidore, but AZ Alkmaar said no deal as they want 7mill...............7 mill??? :eek: frigging bargain
 
Pellegrini just buying these players who really shouldn't be in title challenging and champions league chasing sides. :lol:

Apparently he went on holiday with Isco agreed, came back and found out he had signed for Madrid :lol:
 
I like Negredo, but for 24 mill City could get Higuain :-k

Pellegrini is a 442 man, so it seems Negredo and Aguero will be the ones on the end of Navas's crosses
 
I imagine it'll be Aguero/Silva playing off of Negredo, Aguero/Silva and Navas on the flanks and Yaya partnering Fernandinho in the middle.

Yeah, 4-2-3-1 makes more sense


------Yaya-----fernand-------
Navas-----Aguero--------Silva

if that is their team (well half of it) how would people rate our chances in terms of competing with them over the season? putting a positive spin on the Villa and Paulhino signings ie assuming they both come in

depends how they get going. New manager, new style, new players etc. Barry for me was crucial for them in the middle, if he goes (which it looks like he is), could have a bad effect on them. They still have match winners in their team though and players who have won things in the past, Aguero, Silva, Navas, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure all winners. Plus there defence is still pretty solid in Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy etc.

They will fight for the league, I don't think we will.

Would probably work better as a 4-2-3-1 imo.

thats essentially 442 because Aguero will be in the box a lot, close to Negredo anyway. Big man, little man......Navas has been signed to provide real width, its what he does best. Pellegrini keeps things very simple
 
So Pelegrini is going to deploy Yaya as a pure DM? I mean he can obviously play that role but no way is that his ideal role.

City still need another central midfielder imo because Barry will probably be sold and Garcia simply isn't good enough.

What are you basing this on?

From what I've seen he's a fairly flexible manager that can adjust his teams to different formations based on what works.
 
Forgot about Rodwell who is decent but still....

would i swap Dembele, Paulinho, Sandro, Holtby and Sig for Yaya, Fernandinho, Rodwell, Garcia and Barry? NO.

he is flexible, but he has a preferred formation with 2 strikers and plenty of width...top managers at top teams have to be flexible anyway
