Dzeko To City KO

Ibrahimovich ruled out, Balotelli ruled out, Torres ruled out and Dzeko ruled out. Seems no club wants to sell this summer.

It's early days yet. Mancio: "I keep reading that I am going to sign lots of players in the summer and am also going to sell lots of players. This is not true, and I am surprised because people know that I already have a very strong squad at Manchester City."

IF we were interested in Dzeko then I would say that us waiting for his ridiculous buy out clause to lapse was just the beginning and definetely not the end!

I'm a Spurs fan cityman so its hardly sour grapes,the point i was making is you havent achieved anything yet,bar be incredibly wealthy,and as klutch already pointed out leaving a team not in the CL to go to another also not in it wouldnt seem likely,unless you offered a shed load that tempted the club the player was currently at.We all know City will probably do big things soon,but until you actually challenge for the the league and regulary qualify for the CL you will struggle to attract the top,top players,of which Torres is definitely one.

Klutch, we understand the point about not having CL football albeit qualifications and other big clubs being able to match wages but, the point about players leaving clubs because of certain issues is not exclusive to just us is it?Real Madrid was not the first club Robinho had issues with so you can say he has something of a track record. Abedayor was basically pushed out of Arsenal for whatever reason, their loss. Teves probably felt he wasn't getting enough game time at man u. Even if they were 'not getting love' as you put it, whats the problem with changing clubs? And you dont honestly think it was mere coincidence that we bought players from clubs around us. These were players that had proven themselves in the Premier League. it was better than getting a team full of big name foreign players who dont have premier league experience. Missing out on 4th was disappointing but i honestly dont believe it will stop a top player from joining us especially if they buy into 'the project' which is quite achievable with our backing but then again you'll those who'll call that player a money grabber as if playing football aint a job! Teves and Adebayor left CL football to join us even when we'd finished 10th the the previous season and now we've finished 5th and with a top manager in charge we won't get top players? let wait and see then.

Well i dont know about Torres but with Rooney and Messi i dont think they'll even want to leave their respective clubs at the moment. Not to Chelsea, not to Bayern Munich, not to Inter Milan so why would they want to join us? Point is, EVERY club has certain superstars that are out of their league due to various reasons. Do you ever see Messi joining Real Madrid?
