Transfers

I agree he is hit and miss but he is still the 2nd best striker on your books imo!!

When he is on fire he usually bangs 2-3 in a game and all those 1-0 wins u had over the weakers sides in the league if u had won 3 or 4-0 you would have been celebrating number 20!!
Glad u didnt play him tho obviously!!

Its 6 of one.

welbeck came in and did a great job, and at times we hit teams on the break and scored.

berbatov slows the team down, in which case those goals probably wouldnt have come on the break.

Yes but Welbeck will never be a 25+ goals a season man hes not clinical and doesent look like a natural finisher!!

Am not sure you can credit Hughes for Kompanys success. He had Lescott and Kolo playing as CD and Kompany coming on and rotating with De Jong. It was only when Mancini came that Kompany was played as CD with first Kolo and later Lescott that we saw the full benefit of signing him.

Reckon Savic will be loaned out, can't see Mancini giving up on him after just one season. So we will need to bring a cb in for cover, I'd like to see us bring someone in who will ultimately replace Lescott as Vinny's partner in one to two seasons time.

Not sure if we need a real out and out winger, I think bringing on one winger would unbalance our formation and it could complicate things, but a wider creative midfielder maybe.

Other than that, striker if any of ours leave perhaps.

I would however like to keep NDJ who's coming to the end of his contract, or at least coming to the stage of renegotiating or leaving on a bosman in 18 months time.

Same, I couldn't make my mind up on the lap of honor after the QPR game whether he was waving us goodbye, or whether he is just that genuinely enthusiastic though. Now he's won the Prem with us I'm not sure what else he will think he can accomplish with us, playing as much as he has done over the past 2 seasons.

But I'd definitely keep him too, we look a lot more assured when he comes on around the hour mark, and pushing Yaya up usually sparks another goal.

Yeah i'd like to keep Nige, think we can all put his average form last year down to the contract situation.
Hopefully they find a solution to his contract

I don't think he was average throughout last season, he picked up that injury at the start, and then spent the majority of the first half of the season on the bench when we were flying.

Then Yaya left for ACON and he was suddenly dropped into the starting eleven and expected to be 100% match fit and to continue in the same form he finished 10/11 in... Was a big mistake doing that I think back in January

He looked off the pace for a couple of months, but so did several of our other key players and we struggled. By the end of the season he was back in form though, and I was always more comfortable with him and Barry covering the back four.

Im just comparing him to the 10/11 season where he was instrumental in us winnin the FA Cup and gettin top 4.

Love to see him back to that form but ur right in sayin he never really got a good fun of games last year was probably hard for him to get back to his best
