Les Ferdinabd really should never be allowed to speak. I still remember his mouth running off without filter ahead of our Fa cup semi final a while back. I'm sure he's a good coach or we'd not have him, but he has a big mouth.
The fact that, as a striking coach, he's about as useful as tits on a fish going by the last few seasons' efforts.Based on?

The only we would could win the title in the next 5 or so years is with Bale in the side. He is a matchwinner of unparallelled quality. Maybe only RVP and Suarez come close. He could score a 30 goals next year with a little luck and no injuries.If the bid is over 60 million pounds then we have to sell IMO. That sort of money could help us build a team that's good enough to compete for the title. Perhaps not next season, but in a couple definitely. Bales a great player that we all love but sometimes you just have to look at the bigger picture.
I know he originally came as some kind of striking coach, but as a young coach trying to cut his cloth on the road to management I'm sure he's involved with far more than just our strikers.
Indeed. I mean, he's either getting better or in an area of the club that AVB and the senior coaches don't care about, considering he's still at the club.I know he originally came as some kind of striking coach, but as a young coach trying to cut his cloth on the road to management I'm sure he's involved with far more than just our strikers.
While he is a matchwinner of incredible quality that is not what it takes to win titles. What's needed is a great team and squad effort. We've had him in incredible form throughout the season and only came 5th. Quite apt you mention suarez considering his team only came 7th.The only we would could win the title in the next 5 or so years is with Bale in the side. He is a matchwinner of unparallelled quality.

Compare the amount of money city spent to build their current team excluding those signings, and the amount oof money it took to builld dortmund. Guess who won when the two of them played eachother?Hmmm, City have already spent over £60m on two players and the window isn't even properly open yet so how would we compete with that? I'm getting angry just thinking about selling Bale for £60m, need to stop typing.
60million is a lot of money and we could go and pick up quality players all over for that amount. As long as we do our homework correctly we could pick up a few gems for that amount of money.
Firstly we could keep Bale and do that anyway if you are right.
We have money in the kitty and £20/30 million in surplus players.
(Defoe, Parker, Gomez, Benny... make your own list)
Secondly Bale is a gem that will only increase in value.
So why sell him and than have to scrat around finding others.
' A bird in the hand......

Indeed. Sherwood was about the last man standing really? Hasn't Parks also found new pastures now too? They're basically the last two H men standing. They must have something about them to be fair.I'm sure I read a good while back, possibly even on here, that he was Sherwood's assistant rather than a coach. If he were he'd surely have moved on when Harry left rather than still be employed by us.

Obviously when city is trying to sign a player of another team that team knows that they are dealing with a bottomless pit. So they take them for all they have. Can't see any team trying those sorts of things with levy.
