even Morten Gamst Pedersen would be better

Are you kidding, he would be an awesome signing, I would love to get "Gamsten", in my opinion he's one of the best left wingers in the prem.

He just happens to be Norwegian 

I'm still depressed about Heggem, he would have become a legend if it wasn't for all the injuries, so sad.

Alright Nan, we're about to sign Riera (apparently), Rafa wanted Barry but the owners said 'get to f*ck'. We've been sh!te in our first three games, but we're top of the league and well placed to qualify for the Champions League group stages.

That's about it

Is it just me that is a bit worried about some of the new players that we have or are getting and some of the players we have got rid of.

I know some on here did not like Crouch but for me he was a great player. John Arne Riise for me only had one bad year and we got rid of him.

it was just as bad when Djibril Cisse was sold, i still feel he is a top player and and i think we might be in for a shock when he plays against us.

why we have sold then i still not sure but why the hell have we still got Andriy Voronin?

Xabi Alonso should not be sold for any player, he will so hard to replace and there are not many players out there like him.

it just makes me feal uneasy with some of the things Rafa has been doing with our team.i still dont see and team formation he is trying to bulid, there are no players that that are new to the team that complement the ones we already have.

Rafa has not got the time on his hands to start to build a new team and if he thinks he has he is going to get a big  shock if we are 5th at xmas as a p45 will all he will be getting.

this is not a pop at Rafa, i am just honestly confused as to whats going on with the team he is trying to build.

Some interesting views on Riera from City fans can be found HERE

Consensus is he's he's not good enough for us - which I think is the consensus on here too, but they're split as to whether he was sh!te for them, or just decent.

riera, robbie keane, dossena, cavellieri.... and if i did the math right then we spent over 40mill or so if riera is 10mill+ or so!
Fcking joke if you ask me ! Not one of those players seems to be major improvement on what we had already come to think about it !
Still cant understand what the fck it is we keep doing every transfer window ! Shipping out sht we bought 12 months before and buying sht only to be offloaded 12 months later ! Fck that !
for 40mill+ i would have expected atleast 2 big names but instead there u go. 4 average players just to add to the other 30 we have. Deco moved to Chelsea for what? 8mill was it... and ronaldinho goes to milan for peanuts and Arsenal sign wonderkid Nasri for cheap... unless we win the league with the players we have got now, i wouldnt be surprised if Rafa gets sacked end of season if only for all the money he wastes on average players. And before ppl start talking out their behinds, i do understand the whole owners problem and all that sht but if you spend 40mill getting players and they turn out to be sht then its the managers fault !

I can't see it this transfer window ciggy, unless you know something we don't?

If that's the case I don't mind.  But if Gareth Barry is brought here to play left midfield I think it's a big mistake.

How will Benitez explain that one to Alonso then?  Alonso was told he was being sold to raise funds for a left midfielder as we already had plenty of central midfielders.  That suggested Barry was being brought in for the left.  If we sign Riera and Benitez is still trying to sell Alonso and buy Barry then he will struggle to explain that one to Alonso imo as it would be obvious that Barry is a direct replacement as a central midfielder.

I think the most likely scenario now is that we have given up on Barry, signed Riera as a cheaper option and Alonso will stay for now.

I still think Alonso will be gone before the window shuts and I think he will go to Arsenal, Rafa has not given up on signing GazBaz.

He said the player he wanted could play in 3 positions meaning GazBaz, Voronin, pennant, Intandje and Alonso are all still for sale.

If these players leave before the deadline expect to see Barry here, once rafa doesnt want you anymore you dont get a second chance.

According to Rafa, at the beginning it was a matter of money, and thus he explained it to Alonso, which Alonso understood.

But now, it's not a matter of money, there's no need to sell Alonso for that reason, so unless a big offer comes, he stays. That's how Rafa explained it or how I understood it!

As for S@int's first things first question, it's always EUROS. The discrepancies were between 9-12 M €

So perhaps the Everton offer is inflated by the press, or is even bigger than what Espanyol expected. 9M € for a club like that is not little money, the spanish market is cheaper atm.

Got to give the lad a chance ,but if the board are telling the manager who he can and can't buy , you can hardly blame rafa if he once again having to put up with his 2nd or 3rd choice player. You can't have it both ways, if reira turns out to be a duff buy ,maybe you'll all start saying sack rafa , but was he rafa's choice , don't think so some how.

[Rush Job]

I've posted before that I'm not thrilled with this deal, but trying to put a positive spin on things:

1)  Moyes will be off

2)  We're getting a player for 6-9 million (depending on what reports you believe) who is actually a left midfielder by trade.  If Benitez had got his first wish, we'd have signed a central midfielder for 18 million (Gareth Barry) and then probably played him out of position on the left of midfield. IMO Riera is most likely going to be a better left midfielder than Gareth Barry would have been.

Barry has played most his career wide left, and even when played in the centre often pops up wide to put in a cross and set up a goal, like he already has this season.
I`d take him over this lad any day of the week and im sure so would Rafa.

Agreed!
And only time will tell.If he turns out a good un nothing will be said,it will just be accepted.If on the other hand he's a flop it will be another stick to beat Rafa with!
Who's to know what way he will turn out.
One things for sure,half the ones off here who are moaning probably could'nt pick Riera out of an ID parade never mind tell you about his footballing ability.
