wow Manchester City were amazing tonight and Aguero is certainly going to be their main star this season. He certainly showed his class tonight.

It does actually, count his red cards. he creates unnecesary controversies and problems off and on the pitch.

He just seems to be a player that needs to be coddled all the time. Mancini recently came out in an interview and talked about how players were no longer as 'mentally strong' as they were before, and everyone took that to mean that he was referring to Balotelli.

Personally, I find Balotelli and his antics very funny. His flair and his propensity for getting into incredibly stupid situations is highly entertaining. He seems to be the type of player who you love to watch, but wouldn't want on your team.

City are looking genuine contenders this year. Once he's fully fit Kun will terrify any defence and be a great spearhead for the City offence.

I only wish Arsenal were making headway, but I can't help feeling they're taking numerous steps back. Losing Nasri is bad without replacing him - losing Cesc is a near-mortal blow. And he was undersold, there really is no getting away from that. Consistently one of the top passers and a player with the ability to lift the rest of his team, Arsenal need to replace him. But how, selling him for 35mil? Name a player who is as good, at the top of the top teams, who will be available for that price? Apparently Mata, who I would consider on par with Nasri, is worth 35mil? How much would Sneijder, or Ganso be worth? And does anyone ehre even see Arsenal ever competing for them?

Sad thing is, even with the huge amount of money at their disposal I see Spurs making more interesting noises in the market. Arsenal refuse to compete with the top teams, and are dropping away. Without a couple of genuine world class signings, Arsenal will struggle for fourth this year

agreed.. the market is like that now.. you can only hold onto your philosophy for so long.. even Barca buys players they feel they need despite all the academy talent at theyre disposal..

Speaking about tottenham, they need to rid some of their bad players soon and get some decent striking partner for VDV soon.

Barcelona don't get shafted on transfer prices though. Pastore cost PSG more than Fabregas to Barca or even Sanchez to Barca =/

Except Ibra, they got royally shafted there.

like I said before the only reason they got the price was because fabregas demanded to be sold to them specifically and there was no bidding war. Typically 2-5 teams bid for a player and then when the transfer negotiations are done, then there is the player negotiations. I'm sure fabregas would have gone for ~45-50 M pounds had he handed in a transfer request (aka just asked to be sold anywhere).

Where is Fabregas going to play anyway? Barca already have 3-4 capable midfielders.

Man City is awesome... i saw the game last night... it could have been 7-0 or 8-0... many strikes on post, bar and wonderful saves by "the shotstopper" ( swansea's keeper nickname )
Wanna turn up the heat?

Barca are practically a team of 10 midfielders and a keepr. All their players are equally capable of holding the ball, great passing all round. Still the team to beat for CL.

As for the EPL. I hope Chelsea can mount a serious title challenge as well as CL challenge. Their lack of pace and a solid creative midfielder is worrying though.

Even Valdez plays as a midfielder sometimes, go watch the second leg of the Champions League Semi-Final vs Inter in 10

They've been trying to get a good striker for ages now. Redknapp took a jaunt through Spain during the middle of last season looking for strikers. Unfortunately, none were interested in joining Spurs. Redknapp approached (if I recall correctly) Aguero, Forlan, Rossi, and Llorente - but no one wanted to join.
