Wouldn;t be surprised if he moved to whoever finishes fourth out of you and Spurs (assuming you don't both get top 4)

I'm hoping he moves to us. I think we're the perfect club to get the best out of him and help him develop into a world class striker. He is not the finished article yet but he's well on the way and had talent in abundance. I am confident we will secure champions league football again next season but its getting too dicey and we're miles from the title where we should be.

But we'll see. After the international break we need to beat Reading and then beat West Brom away. Only wins will do. No sloppy draws.


This Australian cricket team sucks when they are not playing in Australia. Long gone are the days where Australia can dominate on any ground, in every country.

Can't see Jovetic going to Arsenal.

City have a long standing interest in him.

I can see him fitting the league like a glove, similar to how Torres performed in 07/08

Lots of articles mention us having a first right of refusal on him -- most of the scuttlebutt was he was going to come with Nastasic but I think ultimately it just would have been too difficult for Fiorentina so they were willing to part with 1 of the 2 at the time. I think we'll sign both him and Isco this summer although I'm sure he (Isco) will be tougher to get.

Don't think you'll get Isco.

He's too special a young talent to be allowed Spain.

Where does Isco fit, or is this just more fantasy football signings?

Jovetic you are very likely to get but Isco can choose any club he wants and Madrid and Chelsea both want him and Chelsea will beat any wages anyone offers. I'd say Chelsea are favourites for Isco.

A lot of obstacles in the way for us to get Jovetic but he would fit us better IMO.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Isco will have Barca, Real and Man Utd in for him. Why would he move to City?

 

[FootballFan]

Amazing first touch and goals. But could they've scored directly, on a cold afternoon in Turin in 1994?

Dat Baggio.

Is this something Jorge Mendes can arrange for us ? He makes transfers in the other direction happen.

I heard Real Madrid want Cavani? If that's true maybe they'll part ways with Benzema. He would be even better than Jovetic.

 

[Vivalaraza]

It would be really funny if City's top targets didnt wanna sign for them for the second summer in a row.

More pressing concern for City should be who they can get to replace Mancini

Do we even have any idea on who City's main targets are?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Not really!

It's gonna them a while to make their signings most likely. Seems they need to offload quite a few players before they buy and the likes of Dzeko, Nasri, Tevez won't be easy to get rid of. Just a guess.

I hope we act fast like we have done recently and have everybody we want signed up by the start of the season. Transfer sagas suck.

Nathan Dyer and Grant Hanley judging by last summer

Any Champion's League club.

 

[FootballFan]

Dzeko, Tevez, Nasri out.

Falcao*, Suarez, Isco in.

*Could be Cavani.

I could see them targeting those players, but I doubt they'd get more than one.

Dat Pirlo assist, even back then.

That's Pirlo? Hard to tell lol. Great goal though.

If they're getting rid of those three then you'd have to imagine that they'd look to sign replacements in those positions.

2 strikers and an attacking midfielder.

 

[jtb]

If Dzeko is on his way out from City and he'll be available relatively cheap, I think he'd be great at Arsenal. I'd take Tevez too. Nasri can fuck off though.

We can lure a Benzema to Arsenal. We'd have to make the CL if course but I'm rather confident we will do that.

He would be much better than Dzeko. Dzeko can go to Dortmund.

Hmm, international break, boring.

Where does Isco fit, or is this just more fantasy football signings?

Isco would be a replacement for Nasri most likely. Txiki identified him and Benat (Betis) as his two primary targets when taking his DOF position.

A lot of other names have been mentioned in passing but Isco and Jovetic have dated back to last summer (or before). Pedro Obiang (Sampdoria), Mauro Icardi (Sampdoria), Marquinhos (Roma, CB) have been mentioned quite a bit this season. Some others from Roma (Lamela, Pjanic) have been linked -- don't think DDR is ever going to happen.

If Dzeko is on his way out from City and he'll be available relatively cheap, I think he'd be great at Arsenal. I'd take Tevez too. Nasri can fuck off though.

Dzeko will move to Italy or Germany -- very unlikely City will sell within the league. Nasri will be off to France with either PSG or Monaco signing him most likely. Monaco are apparently interested in Tevez as well but Boca Juniors (who he wants to play for) have recently been mentioned as also having interest. If that happens, I'm sure the transfer fee would be next to nothing even though they're pretty well off.

Fuck you guys crying over international break.

There's nothing more heart breaking and gut wrenching to me than watching Honduras play WC qualifier matches.

He would be much better than Dzeko. Dzeko can go to Dortmund.

I'd take either. Both would be good replacements for RVP, they like to come deep and influence the game, while also being quite good finishers. Benzema is proven, I like him a lot. Plus, he's French so why not. Dzeko is definitely being wasted as a supersub at City because he's not really that type of player; but at Arsenal the team would be built around him and I think he'd do quite well. Either would fit perfectly in the system and, if available, should be within our price range—I just hope Wenger is willing to spend on proven talent.
