The traditional curtain raiser, the Charity Community Shield will be upon us in a matter of minutes. Ridiculously early in the year, but you've got to move with the times, hence promoting Man City to thread title status.

the crow will fly once more
The Fergie-ism will become more entertaining as it becomes more apparent throughout the season that Man United also won't win the Premiership.
(Still think Liverpool might actually win the Premiership. That first game against Spurs, who also have no fit defenders, could be a bit of a humdinger).
― Matt DC, Sunday, 9 August 2009 14:10 (3 months ago) Permalink
Liverpool have approx 8 million strikers, perhaps they will all get on the pitch at the same time if there aren't any defenders to clog up the team sheet.
1-0 Man Utd, Nani.

The Mirror also reckons that 'Mark Hughes is ready to save David Bentley from his Spurs nightmare with a £8million bid - and send Martin Petrov to White Hart Lane as part of the deal. Manchester City boss Hughes will target winger Bentley in the New Year as he prepares for another assault on the transfer window at Eastlands.'
this would be good, i think.

I would happily take that but it was mooted for last summer and didn't happen then, not sure it'll happen now. Why would Man City want Bentley exactly?

8m for a player of his potential better than 16m for player of his potential.
petrov isn't young for a winger, and there would be questions over injury proneness too.

I like Petrov. Prematurely balding winger is a good look (Robben, Steve Stone).
― Pete W, Wednesday, 18 November 2009 12:18 (3 days ago) Permalink
i'm just trying to explain why the deal looks good from city's side, tbh. i'd probably settle for a straight swap myself, never mind actual money coming our way.
the only worry i'd have is man united actually realising they need petrov more than we do, but that's not really a likely transfer.
― Louis Cll (darraghmac), Wednesday, 18 November 2009 12:24 (3 days ago) Permalink

I've always liked Rigsby, though there were times under Eriksson when he could be predictable. Hughes doesn't seem to rate him, but he's been starting and playing well lately. Out with a knee injury at the moment unfortunately.
