So would me and you
He's a good young player, but 6 million is a lot for a very young full back.
I think, he's probably worth half that if that, I mean we have Tommy Spurr who is as good if not better at left back and a year or so older.

None of those are/were goalscorers though. The players I mentioned all had world class goal scoring records in a **** poor league and got found out when they came over here.

Bergkamp was amazing ! He was never an out and out striker, his record at Inter wasn't fantastic. Yes, it took him 7 games to score his first goal but after that he did score consistently, him and Henry was devistating in attack together.
Lampard is one of a kind, while I don't think he's an amazing footballer, scoring that many goals from midfield, season after season, is worth a lot. He can win the equivalent 3 or 4 games a year with the amount of goals he chips in with

Man City is going to gate crash the Top 4 this year......actually, I am quite worried lol
Saw the quote. Agree with it. Thought I'd share it, I think Rooney is amazing though
Manchester City have spent more money then the Russian Mafia in their first few seasons.
Funnily enough i agree as well with the quote, id love to see Lampard, Terry and Rooney ply their wares in Spain or Italy for instance...not saying they wouldnt do well but it would give a good indication of just how good they really are.
Rooney i think is amazing too when hes on form but he hasnt exactly set the world alight since moving to Man Utd but i do like him...think hes a good player all in all...
Not with the manager they have in charge i dont think they will...perhaps with a manager whos world class they will but i cant see it with Hughes really.
I reckon if City dont make Europe next season then expect to see Robinho wanting out...i wouldnt be surprised if hes lamenting his decision of leaving RM for the money aspect...u know what they say about money...cant buy you happiness lol....but in chelski's case its won them a few trophies i suppose
I can really see the man city team working as a unit.
Mark hughes has been quite clever hes bought quality players that are PROVEN in the premiership, none of the signings are a gamble, they wont need time to adapt to the premiership.
They know the other players they will face week in week out

Hes better than Naughton? Don't be silly.
There is a reason there isn't 3 premiership clubs offering £5m+ for him. Naughton was our best player last season, by quite a fair few miles. And even if we get £6m for him, there is no way we can replace him with anyone near as good.
You do know Naughton is a RB, who can also play on the left equally as good? He also played in the center for 2 games for us, and did very well.

Spurr, best left back in the English game that isn't in the Prem
Mark Beevers best young center back
We've had to fight to keep them over the past few seasons, Villa were after Spurr like something chronic at christmas.
