Another signing of City's that I'm not too worried about. For whatever reason, they're not shopping for the same quality they had done previously.
Or he tried and failed. Oh well, back to australia then...Thats one Woodward rumour shot down
Jovetic may be an option wide but it isnt his best positon imo. From a United point of view I'd love to see him wasted out wide I guess they did do that with Balotelli.If City go 4-3-3 next season where do Silva and Nasri fit in? Genuine question as I imagine the front 3 will be Aguero+Jovetic+Another and the middle 3 you'd expect to be central midfielders.

I expect City will play one player in the hole and one striker like with Tevez and Aguero. That would be Jovetic's best position, Aguero could do it if he's playing in combination with Dzeko or Negredo.
They might not even be first choice for all we know. Jovetic is basically Rooney, can play up top, in the hole, can do a job wide but really he's a creative strikerWell that's just it, are they going to play with wingers or inside forwards? They signed Navas, who I gather is more of a traditional winger, but Jovetic seems more the withdrawn striker type from what I know (which is little), so I assume they're going to have a fairly fluid formation if they want to get the best out of those players.
Is Dzeko going to get another season then?
He is not a bad striker. Mancini just used him sparingly just like we did with Berbatov. I havent seen enough of Negredo to comment on if he is better than Dzeko.Is Dzeko going to get another season then?

I really dont think he is. Surprisingly Dzeko scored the most goals on breaks in the league last season, doubt Negredo will score more than 1He is not a bad striker.

City looking like favourites at the minute. Would be very proud of their purchases if i was a City fan. Kind of strange this Mourinho factor has people all up Chelsea's ass.

Did I write a riddle?Very proud? Sorry, what?
Is that not us that do that?Arsenal dont sign players, they just get linked to them for expensive prices and it appeases the fans
Fortunately for us we'll get maybe one in five. Arsenal usually manage -1 out of 75.Is that not us that do that?
Did I write a riddle?
Okay 'Happy'. Will that doWhy would City fans be "very proud of their purchases"? Seems a very strange thing to say.
He's quite clearly just making the point that he thinks City fans will be happy with their business so far.Why would City fans be "very proud of their purchases"? Seems a very strange thing to say.
Loadsamoney.How much did city spend so far this summer?
He's not. Dzeko hasn't got a big chance with City. Seems like if he scores he stays and if he doesn't he's immediately benched. A lot to do with trying to keep Tevez's and Balotelli's toys on the pram.He's certainly not a bad striker. Just didn't seem to have much of a future at City from what I could tell. Pellegrini might have different plans for him than Mancini did though.

It's not like City needed to invest much. They've got a better squad now imo then when they were champions. And Jovetic will only add to that strength. Can't underestimate Tevez's performances for them. He was a cnut and most definitely did not help with the morale. Personally I think they're better off with Negredo and Jovetic along with Aguero and Dzeko than they were with Balotelli and Tevez. I also think Pellegrini is a better manager.
At the moment, including Jovetic, I don't know which team is better, Chelsea or City. Both teams have a stronger squad and a better manager than last season whilst ours is stalemate with our 2nd best player's future still up in arms and no SAF.
I think you may come to regret that statement after next season. I think every one of their signings will make an impact. the thing I immediately notice is, they are not superstars, but very talented team players who will provide City with something different. They should also be hungry for the big trophies considering the relative paucity of their medal collections.Another signing of City's that I'm not too worried about.

Chelsea have made some good signings. Schwarzer is a good backup to have, van Ginkel is very talented and Schurrle is a player that will improve their squad and give them a different option on the left. De Bruyne and Lukaku are both back from loan spells where they both did very well. Like City their problem wasn't very much with the first team. They played the same players a lot last season.Chelsea haven't really signed anyone who will improve their first team thus far, but their squad is a bit stronger. Not concerned with their signings at the moment though. City's first team was better than ours last season, and now their squad is also currently better. Obviously we haven't made any transfers yet, so this could change.

Our squad was is still very good. We need however an improvement on the first team. Nothing drastic is needed imo unless Rooney leaves. That would change a lot. Still a good month left.
Which is why it would be ludicrous to sell them Rooney.Chelsea still seem overly reliant on Mata for me. You would think, and hope, he doesn't improve on his exceptional one last year. If they buy a quality striker such as Higuain definite title contenders imo. With their current strikers no.
