An eye tee kay that actually called stuff right last transfer window.
By calling things right you mean he stated that we wouldn't be making any major signings in Jan?
I predicted that the Queen wasn't going to come out as a militant lesbian anarchist and that the Sun wouldn't implode and wouldn't create a black hole that would suck us all in and end the world. Not sure it's really worthy of a mention though.
He actually came out with Saha and Nelsen long before the media latched on to things.
Also the Bassong and Pienaar loans.
Mancini confirms Hazard interest
City boss aware ?ú30m-rated Belgian star has 'enormous' talent
Last Updated: February 3, 2012 9:17am
Emirates Marketing Project manager Roberto Mancini could be considering a summer move for Eden Hazard after admitting his admiration of the Lille star.
The ?ú30million-rated Belgian playmaker has long been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea and he recently admitted he would relish an eventual move to the Premier League.
Chelsea appear to be paying closest attention to Hazard after scouts watched the playmaker a remarkable 20 times in the last 18 months, but City could be prepared to battle for a deal.
Mancini has confirmed his interest in the 21-year-old, who has also been linked with Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Paris Saint Germain, and is aware of his potential.
"Hazard has an enormous level of talent and is able to play at the maximum level," the City boss is quoted as telling Le 10 Sport
"But we know there is interest from the big European clubs and any deal will not be easy."
French scout Guy Hillion has no doubts Hazard could succeed in England, as he said: "I was at the Lille-St Etienne match and the player has interested Chelsea since Frank Arnesen was at the club.
"Personally, my reports have been excellent and I do think he can succeed in the Premier League."

Hazard will cost 25 million plus
good player but that is some pricetag to live up to
we dont need him, our midlfield is pretty sorted. All our money needs to go towards the forward line. Saha may well be our only striker on the books come summertime
Well that effectively ends any hopes we had
well technically we dont need xavi, iniesta, silva or yaya toure but i think it would be immensely misguided to think that they wouldnt add significantly to our team and the results
hazard is a difference maker i think. or at the very least a significant contributor to the difference makers.
if we sat here waiting for players that we need at crazy prices then we would be pretty stagnant. not a bad thing if we have a good team but at least lets push on
also 25 million? we'd be lucky....with the amount of interest its got to be upward of 30 easy.
so how would you deploy Hazard with the players we currently have
so how would you deploy Hazard with the players we currently have
and Redknapp loves 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1
I think Hazard would be an immense signing for us, however he would be better integrated if a Mourinho or Mancini were manager
