Not sure how we do this and stay inside our nett spend limit unless we sell players?

[Leewonpen]

Possible that one of Jovetic/Dzeko may leave in the summer?

[Neil Mcnab]

He is coming in for a few reasons, but the fact he can play in the chumps league is a big factor. Jovetic or Dzeko will surely go in the summer.
Lavezzi might have been cheaper and more versatile.
Jorge Resurrección Merodio or Pogba would have been my choice. Or Barclay if we needed to boost the "local" players.

[andy1966]

Is Dzeko injured or just totally out of favour ?

[Lekos]

Is Lavezzi even that good? He's only scored 14 goals in France since 2012. Can't see Jovetic staying, unfortunately

Going to have to leave someone out somewhere to name 4 strikers though.

Bony's told Sky news , he's agreed to join City   Another ACoN Absentee !

[alexsam]

It would appear we have been allowed to book the entire amount of the Negredo sale in this current monitoring period - about £27m inc £3m loan fee.

We had a £13m underspend from the summer.

In essence, we have around £40m to spend in this window BEFORE any sales of Guidetti, Sinclair and Nastasic.

Bony is more than covered, as is the potential for another circa £20m plus player if we so wished.

More and more, I believe UEFA and City concocted this whole show.

[bry the guy]

deal agreed £25m plus £3m add ons i for one am very happy we are signing him.

[bry the guy]

You just beat me to it.

[Ludo]

If it works out it has the potential to be a great signing. He has a year and a half of premier league experience and scores goals in a team that plays a similar passing style as us. So hopefully he won't take just as long to settle in as Mangala.

[Zabba]

I think this is a very good signing, power, pace, ability to hold ball and ability to be effective and score. He is a handful for defences and in my opinion a big step up on Dzeko and hopefully he will form a good partnership with Aguero.

About time we changed some of our misfiring inconsistent strikers.

having a striker thats decent in the air might mean navas has a use or at the least stop him doing that thing where he aims for corner flags with his shooting

Badly needed, and we are absolutely useless at corners and free kicks into the box, unbelievably rubbish.

I often wonder how a team like us with so many big players can be so piss poor and ineffective at dead ball situations; attacking and defending.

I long ago give up any expectation that we might score from corners.

Also too many big players, like Hart, prone to mistakes every now and again. That needs to be properly addressed.

[gavin]

It is going to be a long wait to see him in action.

[Zabba]

Signed according to BBC report, leaked by Ivory Coast Federation seemingly.
