Lee Cattermole?!

Like I said, reminded me of a young Steven Gerrard in the Euro Under-21s. And reading Liverpool forums, he's apparently interested Rafa. He's probably too like Mascherano though, as we will need a playmaker.

Murphy - Zamora - Cousin

The stuff dreams are made of.

Takeover sorted yet?

New manager installed yet?

Any new signings?

Hello? Anyone?

That's why I said the squad would look "something like".

The Lescott speculation does seem to have rumbled on for some time without much happening. City dont seem in the habit of allowing speculation to grow without substance (eg they were quick to rubbish suggestions of a bid for Messi). And even their most ambitious bids for Kaka, Eto'o & Terry have been fueled by encouragement from the club and/or player. I'm surprised things havent been brought to a conclusion one way or the other regarding Lescott.

Takeover sorted yet? Not heard of him, is he another striker who doesn't know where the net is who you're going to sign?

Anyway, taking your point on board about new signings...

Zamora and Murphy combined last season - 62 games, 2 goals
Andy Carroll - 14 games (9 from the bench), 3 goals

No need to sign anyone really.

Struggling to sign players for a Premiership campaign or looking forward to going to Glanford Park and London Road?

It's a real toughie, that is..........

If we get rid of some of the wasters that currently occupy our squad, giving chances to the likes of Krul, Kadar, Vuckic, Inman, LuaLua and Ranger to name a few, Glanford Park it is.

Will be sorted once Everton have a replacement, according to rumour.

Shame I haven't got time to reply to other posts. Some of them have been on the button, especiallythose by DD and LGJM

Can the City fans that find the expenditure on players in terms of both transfers and wages perfectly acceptable take a step back and look at their own lives and wonder why City are making them PAY to watch them next season?

It's not like they need to charge at all is it? It's enough to make you want to hug Ken Davy.

Our replacement has had swine flu recently and must come with a suitcase containing £10m and accept wages of £40k per week. I can't imagine why Citeh haven't been back yet.

There was talk we were after a defender from Dortmund. He could have been the replacement and some Nigerian defender from Rotterdam he claims Moyes has been interested.
