Manchester City - The Vision

Transfer Update

Only a few days left in the transfer window and I'm contemplating a big move. It envolves selling Carlos Tevez to the highest bidder. Not sure if a deal this late will come off though. I'm also still on the lookout for a good back up goalkeeper. Steve Mandanda and Marc Andre Ter Stegen are the main two I'm looking at. I was in talks with Carlo Cudicini but he wanted £45,000 a week and £20,000 a game and I wasn't prepared to pay that. My scouts are working hard looking at players all over the world but I will have to act fast and try not to make any knee jerk decisions.

How much are you looking at for Tevez?
And by the way, are you using the jan update?

I'd be happy with £20,000,000 for Carlos Tevez. And yes, I am using the January update.

I rotated a couple of players for this match. We went a goal down again which was frustrating and had to change things around at 60 minutes. Joe Hart had a good game as Fulham created a lot of chances. In the end though, goals from Mario Balotelli and Yaya Toure gave us the 3 points.

A great win to start our Champions League campaign. I decided to use our attacking 4-2-3-1 formation as we were at home and it worked well. Disappointed to have conceded 2 goals but overall I was happy with players' performance. Elsewhere in Group B, FC Bayern drew with Otelul so we are top of the group.

I made an enquiry for Ramires and this was the response I received.

A fantastic result and every player pulled their weight today. We had too much for Chelsea and they really struggled to create anything. Goals from Yaya Toure, Samir Nasri and James Milner capped a great performance. Also delighted to have kept a clean sheet.

A very efficient performance. Hull didn't have a single shot and we controlled the game throughout. Youngsters Felipe Anderson and Abdul Razak bossed the midfield which I was delighted with. Stefan Savic and Mario Balotelli scored the goals and the players that came in played well.

A boring first half, had to make some changes to freshen things up. Goals from Adam Johnson and Sergio Aguero gave us a good away win. We are picking up wins with average performances which is a bonus.

Are you training balotelli as a right winger or just playing him that way because if he will be playing like that alot it would be best to train him to play there properly.

I don't need to train him there, he is an accomplished winger. The 'problem' I have is that Manchester City have lots of attacking players. These are my players and the positions I play them in, it seems to be working.

Sergio Aguero (ST)
Carlos Tevez (ST)
Edin Dzeko (ST)
David Silva (AML)
Adam Johnson (AML)
Mario Balotelli (AMR)
Samir Nasri (AMR)

Are Chelsea nuts, he's rated at just over £10M!! They are either deluded or extremely ambitious.
