Romey 1878 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) City cannot field new players until next year. Yes they can :dont know: . They didn't get any penalties like that, they were fined and the club's transfers limited to £49m net in the next window. So it could be seen as a way around the rules but not in the way you've said. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/16/manchester-city-fine-transfer-cap-uefa-ffp Edited August 4, 2014 by Romey 1878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I was quoting Arsene Wenger from the BBC article: "At the moment the players they sign cannot play until next year so they will register them in the other clubs and can get out on loan" http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28635053 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get my wrong Wilshere has shown potential in the past but the last two seasons he has been distinctly average. I do hate it when players get "dubbed" the next best thing. They aren't the "next" anything they are their own footballer. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't the "next" anything they are their own footballer. To be fair the kid looks like he might have something. Played for Villa u16's when he was 12. Having seen some of the manchildren that play at that age group, fair play. I agree though it is terrible to dub anyone the new this or that, especially when Wilshere isn't that great anyway.

Guest blueboy122 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 The shite sign Manquillo on loan. Who? I don't understand there transfer policy at the moment. They were so close to winning the league this year and haven't signed anyone of genuine real top draw quality. They need a pair of strong decent centre halves first and foremost. And then need a real quality centre forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I can see them struggling this coming season. Last time around, they relied on a potent front line but were vulnerable at the back. That potency is diminished and you don't fix defensive frailties in an instant. And they have the CL to contend with. I'd say we have a good opportunity to take their place this season in the top four. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not there's Skrtel who'll play with him. I know a lot don't rate him but, other than his antics at set pieces, I rate him as a CB.

I would like to think so but they still have really good players like Sturridge and Couthino however I am intruged to see how good Sturridge will be without Suarez. They have taken a step back in the market this window not only by losing Suarez but the players they have signed I just personally don't think are up to the quality of challenging for titles. We shall see though as I expect they aren't done in the market yet. Rodgers will know he needs a genuine quality forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked a real quality defender in games and then at times he looked like a Sunday league player again that's my point Lovern isn't the calibre of player Liverpool should be looking at if they want to win titles in my opinion. Agger to be fair I rate but I have a feeling he will be off soon. Skrtl.. Funny one, he's a yard dog of defender but he is mostly solid I suppose.

Guest blueboy122 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 dont forget Sahko too.... Sakho and Toure are genuinely embarrassing. Frustrates me seeing shite like that play. Surely there are some local lads in the reserves who can offer more than them clowns. Jokes like that stop development of our youngsters.... Well there youngsters.

Guest blueboy122 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Because BR paid all that money for that Sakho and is paying Toure stupid money they will always play before the kids even though I believe Liverpool surely have better in the reserves. Rodgers has to give the two clowns the chance to justify him buying them to the board and to the fans and that's why the development of the kids is hampered.
