I've not seen enough of Onouha recently to say how good he is, but from what I've seen of Alex he's always impressed me. He's quite quick, strong and worked very well with Terry towards the back end of last year. Opinions, don't you love 'em?





I think City definitely need a centre half, but surely there are cheaper, more achievable options around than Terry?

According to some list I viewed a few weeks ago, City were fifth. Another list I looked at claimed we were third. I cannot even remember seeing Chelsea on the two lists.



Has there been any occasion in the last 40 years where you have had a higher average attendance than City for two seasons running? I would guess that not to be the case. However, in the reverse, I would say we have surpassed your average attendance many times. As long as I have been watching football, we have been far more popular than Chelsea.

Willy-waving alert!



Perhaps (although i doubt it) you boys might take some time to step back from this, er, argument and realise how pathetic it actually looks.



Then you can play nicely. Plenty of toys for everyone!

Even Dunne would admit to that





There are cheaper alternatives but we do need a leader. Terry has never been a world class footballer IMO, but he does appear to be a very good leader. We will need a leader when we are in places like Stoke and our fancy dans are not having it all their own way. I cannot think of anyone else who would fit that bill. Vidic would be a decent signing, but I think it would be cheeky to steal two players from United in one season. We will wait until they have a fire sale





We are being linked to Lucio but not sure if there is any truth in that. I don't think he is the solution. Each top team needs a leader(s) IMO. We have some pretenders who could develop into leaders (e.g. De Jong and Kompany) but we need someone who can lead the club now.

I cannot help it. Getting under the skin of John Senior / AP makes me happy

You're not getting under my skin. You are simply stating bull5hit dressed as facts.

It was free, but I bet the club shop at the Bernabeu was open late and doing brisk business with 80,000 people milling around.

It doesn't say it under the figures but it is identical to another list I have viewed. Prior to the 1950s, City were arguably the best supported club in the country. We had several crowds over 70k, with our record attendance in 1934, which was 84.5k against Stoke.

I can understand why 80,000 people would want to pay to watch Cristiano Ronaldo play because he is a magnificent player. But I can't for the life of me figure out why they'd go out of their way to be at a welcome ceremony for him. Sad ****ers should get a life and find something better to do, just like their dozy geordie cousins.

In some ways I find it incredible that a team has such support. It's mind-blowing.



I loved the staged pitch invasion. It was similar to the time in which Beckham was welcomed to Real and a young lad ran on the pitch to hug him. How cringeworthy.
