Man City will buy Balotelli for £20m... Just what City need - a striker

swca92 · **Posted:** 21 Jul 2010, 08:08

Man City won't finish in the top 4 this season and Mancini will be gone by Christmas - you heard it here first. I'm not scared of them at all, paying decent players £200,000 a week is not conducive to success.

Man City spending spree continues with Koralov signing
(CNN) -- Manchester City's transfer window spending neared the £90 milliion ($139 million) mark after completing the signing of Serbian international left-back Aleksandar Kolarov from Lazio.

The 24-year-old has been granted a work permit and the formalities of the reported £19 million ($29.32 million) deal with the Serie A club were completed after he passed a medical.

The Kolarov deal has increased speculation that England international left-back Wayne Bridge will now move to Liverpool.

But Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has denied Bridge will be leaving Eastlands.

"I want two top-class players for each position," the Italian told their official website.

"I first saw Kolarov in his Lazio debut back in 2007. I have watched him a lot since then and so have the Manchester City scouts.

"His attacking capability is very good. He is fast and can shoot with power and accuracy.

"He also has the ability to play in numerous positions and is very good in midfield.

City's Abu Dhabi-based owners have given Mancini the funds to improve on their fifth-placed finish in the English Premier League last season.

Mancini had already spent £25 million ($38.59 million apiece on Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure and Valencia winger David Silva, as well as signing German international defender Jerome Boateng from Hamburg for £15 million ($23.15 million).

City have also been linked with Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli but the Italian club want them to up their bid.

"It all depends on whether we can find the measures that are interesting for both us and them," the club's president Massimo Moratti told their official website.

Manchester city are happy spending, they have around 2 - 3 players in each position.

Every restuarant, pie seller and fast food outlet in Amsterdam will be delighted with that news. Mido has a seafood diet in that he eats everything he sees. He also regularly aims shots at Earth, but is so inaccurate he hits Jupiter. When he hits the ground after headers he regularly causes earthquakes he's so large.

Mido is a hero in Amsterdam. Last time we become Champions in the Netherlands it was with him

Seriously??? In England he's an absolute laughing stock. People who miss easy chances at school playing football are often called "Mido". He's fat, slower than a pregnant tortoise and is worse than Emile Heskey in front of goal from what I've seen of him in England.

Ah well, we're gonna use him as a sub anyway

Back in 2003 he went from Ajax to Olympique Marseille for €12 million

what about that?

Newcastle once paid nearly 20 million combined for Titus Bramble and Jean Alain Boumsong, who entertained England with their brand of slapstick comedy in central defence. That's worse than paying 10 million or so for Mido.

I saw Spurs play yesterday - hammered 4-1 by Villareal, and they hit the bar and did one of the worst misses I've ever seen in professional football (6 yards out, open goal, in the middle of the goal and the guy hit it wide).

We played 1-1 against PAOK :<>:

Should have been 3-0 at the half time break, and we should have had a last min penalty (hand bal). But we should've finished them off in the first 45. We miss a striker

JoostLamers · **Posted:** 30 Jul 2010, 11:59

And there is our striker! It's Mounir El Hamdaoui from AZ

He scored 50 goals in 81 matches for them. Not bad

Happy!
