Who Should Man City Try To Buy
ManUK (Manchester United) 3 years ago
They were going for Kaka.
I think they should get a world class
Striker, winger, and center back.
Maybe David Villa, Ribery, and someone
Like Terry at the back. With so much money
They should offer for multiple world class
Wingers, strikers, and center backs, so
They can get one of each otherwise they
Won't get anybody. So far Manchester City
Have got nothing with their money, but Robinho

They should buy young up and coming prospects instead of players who are in their prime. Manchester City can't expect to become one of the best teams right away. They should buy great prospect and slowly they'll go up. There no Chelsea when they got bought by the Russian.

They might get Villa or Silva or maybe both, since Valencia is pretty much broke
Charlie (Barcelona) 3 years ago
They should try to get ronaldinho again, I fell like he is itching to get out of milan. And it would be interesting to see him in the prem
Agspiratos (Panathinaikos Athens) 3 years ago
Thanks for commenting on my chat but for this question I would say david villa. Even though valencia need him they have financial difficulties and it would be better for villa as well
Andy (Rangers) 3 years ago
It is insanely difficult getting world class players to join a club where Champions League football isn't virtually guaranteed, let alone European football. I think Man City will only manage to get semi-starlets, unfulfilling prospects and golden oldies by the end of summer.

With Kaka, I don't think he will be moving anywhere if Brazil make it to sa2010, ACMilan are world-leaders in terms of sports technology/sports science and he has peaked age-wise. The facilities at Milan are right for him and this is his time to shine, he has the opportunity to lead Brazil and further cement his legacy
Neonseong (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Agreed. I almost think theres no way they will get players such as Kaka, Messi, or whoever is on their list. They need to look out there for good players playing on not so world class teams.

Why not Cassno, Deigo Capel, Denis, Lavezzi, Hamsik, Santi Cazorla, Nihat, Maxi Rodríguez, Simão, Luís Fabiano, Mamadou Niang, and so many out there?
ManUK (Manchester United) 3 years ago
Diego, and Fabiano sound good they could help a lot
Mohsink (AC Milan) 3 years ago
Ya, Kaka already snubbed city and there would be a real fallout with the likes of Galliani and Burlesconi if they let him move. The fans were already pretty mad about that first attempt by City so I doubt that he would even consider moving when he has everything he needs (and more) at AC Milan
Agspiratos (Panathinaikos Athens) 3 years ago
True
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Diego would be a great swoop    And maybe inzaghi?
Agspiratos (Panathinaikos Athens) 3 years ago
They should find just a buch of 20 year olds that know what they're doing. It'll be better that how they're playing now
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Mesut Ozil?    He's on form
StrikersMT28 (Seattle Sounders) 3 years ago
There are a lot of young prospects in the Bundesliga. Ozil, Diego, Grafite, and many others. Here's and idea: podolski is already leaving the club at the end of the year, right?
ManUK (Manchester United) 3 years ago
Inzaghi is old and lazy.  Don't like him.
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Loool    He is good. Old though I agree
Neonseong (Liverpool) 3 years ago
His old so he belongs where he is with the rest of old people
Mohsink (AC Milan) 3 years ago
Ya he's old but isn't it a natural process? His goals are because of his time in the game. He's definitely one of the BEST at what he does
Ragarsha (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Henry he can make a difference
Hill (Arsenal) 3 years ago
If Henry comes back to England I think he'll go to Arsenal. I hope
[account-removed] 3 years ago
THe CITY counsellers OF manchester should purchase:

Ribery £35m
Henry £18m
Diego £25m
Cannavaro £8M
Van der Vaart £25m
Andy (Rangers) 3 years ago
It isn't hard to make a football shopping list its whether or not players want to move to an team who don't play in Europe
Agspiratos (Panathinaikos Athens) 3 years ago
Besides henry sold his to barca for a few million, second dumbest move after not signing with nike and switching to reebok
Neonseong (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Ribery would want a team that promise a bright future in the Champions League.  Cannavaro.... Rubbish now.
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Lol navaro is a great example of a defender    Sad he can't keep it up anymore
ManUK (Manchester United) 3 years ago
The best players to buy  That are great players
FoolMuffin (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Robben and cambiasso together
[account-removed] 3 years ago
Yeah good finking these are players which Man city need right now!
Neonseong (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Even with all this money that Manchester City has I have a hard time picturing them a world class team
Agspiratos (Panathinaikos Athens) 3 years ago
Even though they need serious defence, they should by lisandro, that guy can score
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 3 years ago
They should build at the back.... They have some decent attacking prospects but their defence is god awful. They need a good to world class center back as well as a good to world class midfielder and a striker won't hurt
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Hmm Nesta?    Lol
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 3 years ago
Nesta has been plagued by injuries or he would still be a world class center back. I was thinking but that may be a good idea because he would offer a big name as well as being decent enough and will be able to offer guidance to the younger players like richards and onuoha and kompany.

Maybe they should get cannavaro on a free because he is not likely going to stay at real madrid although I think he will probably move back to italy and play for napoli maybe his hometown team
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
How old is navaro    He's like 34ish isn't he?
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 3 years ago
Yea he is freakin old but maybe he could offer a presence. The idea of getting cannavaro and nesta is more of getting a big name rather than a good player because if other stars see cannavaro and nesta at man city, they might want to play there
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Maybe....    Any other players you can think of?
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 3 years ago
For centerback? Not really there aren't any plausible ones they would be able to get. Although Breno of Bayern, Zapata of Udinese and Mertesacker of Werder Bremen are good prospects but as for a world class now, I don't see them getting one.

Maybe Mexes although he is not world class or Raul Albiol whose not world class either. Maybe they could get Alex of Chelsea or.

Not that many world class center backs right now. Can only think of Ferdinand, Vidic, Terry, Gallas (yes I do believe at his game he is a world class cb), Carvalho, Pepe (maybe) so not that many
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Breno is awesome. Can't see him doing enough though    Hmmm.... Breno for arsenal? He's 18 right
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 3 years ago
Yea he's really young but doubt bayern will let him go or if they do, he'll be expensive as they just recently bought him.

The rumours have been that Arsenal are going for Mamadou Sakho, the 19 year old PSG captain. He is one of the brightest center back prospects in world football
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
WOAH never heard of him but he sounds like real class

Must seach him later on. And cool if the rumours are true.... I'm excited lol
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 3 years ago
I would be extremely excited if we sign him although I would rather have a more experienced CB but he is seen as the next Lilian Thuram and if that is true, I would gladly welcome him to Arsenal
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Yeah Thuram is good    Damn only heard of him two weeks ago
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 3 years ago
He goes in the legends bracket. One of the best defenders ever. Had one of the best positional sense in football, rarely had to make a last ditch tackle. Sadly he had to retire because of a heart problem but luckily doctors found out about it. His brother passed away because of the same condition he has
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Oh wow. He must be a great example of a footballer

And damn that's good they found out, would be devastating for another great player to die D:
