Newcastle signing a centre back would be cool and good

Shouldn't you get a new manager first?

Hughes has said that Stoke don't intend to splash big in this window, so there probably much won't be much going on for me.

City has that UEFA restriction on number of registered players, so City will definitely not buy a single player at all this window.

Nope.

No way.

Think the interest in Bony has knocked us out of the running. Used to be talk of bids from Liverpool and Spurs, the papers are talking about City and Chelsea now.

I love the rumors that City, in desperate need of fit strikers NOW, is going to buy someone who has literally just got on a plane to the African Cup of Nations.

Sky reckon we're signing Bony for £30M, seems a bit of a piss take with the price, but Valencia are obliged to sign Negredo for £25M this summer, so I guess we're replacing him with someone 3/4 years younger for about the same price

This makes no sense because he doesn't solve the current problem due to being at the ACN, and that's a lot of money for a 3rd/4th choice striker.

whats all this?

City loaned him to Valencia with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.

TheGoatFeeder posted:

Clearly not a signing for the short term. Top scorer in England in 2014, probably good for 15-20 goals and arguably our 2nd best forward.

I'm not saying he isn't good, he is, but I don't see him and Dzeko both getting the number of minutes they want. Last season Dzeko scored the same number of goals in fewer games.

An obligation? Why not just sell him outright? I assume Valencia didn't want to cover his full wages or something?

It means they didn't have to spend £25M this season, which I'm guessing may have been a problem for them.

What does this mean for anyone? Is he really going to play for them ever?

He's scored 1 in 2 for a midtable club in the Premier League over the past two seasons, which means he already knows the league etc. I assume they're thinking that placed in an even better team, he'll score even more.

He wont though because he'll play less games, so any good run of form he gets going will get broken when it's Dzeko's turn to play again

He should definitely be starting over Dzeko

There will be rotation, it's hard to say who will get more games but they'll both take turns playing

Carroll - Jelavic - Benteke - Michu - Bony

Carroll had 1 good season in the Championship and half a season in the PL, and you forgot Lambert and possibly Berahino/Sterling

my sources are telling me that it's that Vlaar's resigned, which is indeed underwhelming, but ends one of the season's transfer sagas.

I imagine you mean re-sign, because him resigning would be bad for Aston Villa.
