Opening day vs Chelsea of all teams. I predict a 5-0 win, Hamann netting 4 and new captain Richard Dunne with the other (H) Camon and try it :rockman:

Barton for a hat trick in honour of his new contract! haha I bet psycho stood over him and promised to break his fingers if he didn't sign haha...

signings so far haven't been spectacular, but aren't the keegan types either... would have liked to have seen Reira stay but Pearce obviously has faith in the youngsters eh...

Micah Richards a star for the season? Displacing Distin who can then be sold? Onouha taking over from Mills on the right? Jordan on the left in for thatcher? Man we are gonna be a youthful side this year... could spring a few surprises on the big fish again...

And another 4 points from the Red SCUM. :jambo: :fool:

Actually, the stupid thing is... when Bellamy became available from Newcastle, i was convinced we should be trying to get him to sit alongside Fowler... then lackburn grabbed him... and the rest is history :/

We've have WAY too many strikers so far, we now have Cole, Vassell, Samaras, Dickov and Corradi, ALL are obviously expecting a starting 11 spot. ah well, a little competition never hurt anyone, and I doubt Cole and Dickov can stay healthy all season long.

Dabo & Hamann are good signing, I guess Reyna isn't gonna feature much this season, barring injuries of course. and I liked the fact that Distin was stripped of the captaincy, he's overrated as hell, not a leader of any sort either. I don't really like Dunne either though, should've just given it to Barton right after he signed :(

rumours in England claim Distin's on his way to Portsmouth, and we want to sign Reading's Ibrahim Sonko to replace him... one question, what the hell is a Sonko :(

i think city will be in the top 7 in the premiership this season. they have a strong midfield now and samaras will suprise everyone.

Personally I would be ahppy with top ten and a decent cup run... quarters or semis of FA cup etc.... i don't know if the squad is deep enough for a sustained challenge in the EPL, and Pearce is selling quite a few of the young midfielders lately (Croft, Flood). Most surprised about the Flood move myself... but I guess his chances were going to be limited with the signing of Hamaan and Dickov...

well Flood was great when he first came up, but after the loaning last season he came back and did worse than before. that and neither of them would get much playing time. I would've liked to see Croft stay though, Sinclair's too injury prone

Yeah its not just that though, it is me wondering if Pearce has let them go a season early... I dunno, just getting nervous I guess, no doubt we will do our usual start with a hiss and a roar and then fade away again... meh... I will pick it now...

First game of the season 1-1 with Chelsea. But **** what a start we have... Arsenal not long after that... guess we get them out of the way early eh... blaze up the table around Xmas....

Thing is... what will our first choice strike pair be? Cole/ Vassell? Corradi/ Samaras? Where does Dickov fit in? THing with him is he doesn't score many so I would rather see him out far wide right... but who are we gonna play on the left???
 
R

Team Captain
well maybe we won't necessarily play a flat 4-4-2 formation. but ya, about the strike pair, I have no clue. I'm pretty sure it'll start with Vassell-Cole, with Samaras getting a lot of starts here and there, while Corradi and Dickov just sit and wait their turns :S

James
Onouha Dunne Distin Thatcher
Sinclair Hamann Barton... ???
Cole Vassell​

maybe we play Vassell down the left flank because of his pace? with Cole and Samaras up front? all I know for sure is that Barton will have a much more attacking role this season with the addition of Hamann.

Yeah this could be the season Bartons promise comes tough, provided he keeps his head on his shoulders properly... if the season turns a tad ****ty i expect he will start the whining again... but yes i agree Vassell down the left, his pace his good but his eye for goal not what it could be... Cole is getting on and Samaras isn't the fastest lad in the world so we need pace somewhere... Hamaan could well be a great signing, if it frees up Barton...
 
R

Team Captain
well our only pace is pretty much Vassell when it comes to strikers... I'm not sure about Corradi, I think he's only slightly quicker than Samaras. meh, we'll just have to wait and see what Psycho can conjure up :S


oh, and Pompey are preparing a bid for David James (H)(H)(H) man Redknapp is basically just like a really bad FM player with his 10+ signings per window :p

well we beat Chinese outfit Shanghai Shenhua 1-0 today in a friendly. surprisingly, Samaras played on the left wing :| and he scored the only goal with his left foot :| while Vassell and Coraddi played as the 2 strikers. odd indeed.
