We should take it.

This is the same price we paid for Downing

How about Kelly & Agger as our starting CB's..? Could use that 20 for another striker or winger.

Coates and Agger

Lets go and get Howedes if this deal happeds

Can we not entice them to spend the 20 million on Downing?

I can't see any mileage in this rumour.
Skrtel would be a bench warmer for the majority of the season unless injuries occur.
I honestly don't believe he's better than Lescott.

^ bloody wishful thinking.

so Agger,Coates and Kelly possibly Wilson? maybe it might be time for Wisdom to step up, don't see that as enough CB's to see us through the season.

i don't count Cara as that really really should be a last resort, no offence to a club legend but i don't want to see him anywhere near our defence!

Swap him with Dzeko and buy a cheaper CB. Agger+Coates+new CB.

We need a new striker. Good ones are very expensive. So getting Dzeko for Skrtel is a good business and then buy a new CB.

Why on earth would we be after him?
Swap with Dzeko? Don't think so but would swap for Adam Johnson definitely

posted on 21/6/12

If not Dzeko then Tevez. We can give you Henderson for Adam Johnson.

Johnson & Wayne Bridge as a sweetener

This answers a lot of our problems.

Skrtel (as alot of people are assuming) will have to play in a higher defensive line (The alleged Brendan Rodgers way). Therefore he won't be as effective.

In that case, sell Skrtel + £5m for Adam Johnson, Nigel De Jong and John Guidetti.

I'm personally fed up of our club constantly being stitched up over valuation of players at LFC, far too many of them get moved on for low amounts (not inc Torres!)

I really like the look of Guidetti, he certainly knows where the goal is.

Valuations - Johnson £10m, De Jong £14m + Guidetti £6m.

That makes Skrtel £25m !


If City want him, let them really want him !

The rumours are gathering pace now. Its been around since the close of the season.

City do need another defender because i dont think Mancini trusts Savic enough. Skrtel will be third choice, infact, i wont be surprised if he took Lescott's place.

Also i wouldnt take Dzeko. We need a striker that plays on the shoulder of the last defender with good pace. Dzeko is just another Carroll for use with better technique.

20mil.....i'll take it and get someone cheaper & younger with more potential.

Who is this Guidetti?

any good, or more as a backup player, and what position does he play, cheers.

posted on 21/6/12

Sell him and sign Kjaer. Easy

posted on 21/6/12

Guidetti 20yrs old.

Played M City u18's, scored 13 goals in 13 appearances !

Currently on loan with Feynoord scored 20 in 23 !

Sweden -

U17's - 8 in 11.
U19's - 5 in 5.
U21's - 4 in 10.

Not too shabby!

I can't see why City would spend £20m of a centre back, when they have a great partnership in Kompany and Lescott. I also can't see Skrtel sitting on the bench, he has had a couple of years of it and finally got in the side regularly.

posted on 21/6/12

I like Skrtel, but he's not worth £20m. If they offered that i think Rodgers would take it, spend up to £10m on the 20 year old Caulker from Spurs and use the rest to up-grade the squad.

Rodgers himself has said he knows we need a few players, by this i think he means 4 or 5. I for one wouldn't mind such a deal if it could be done, i would like quite a young squad.

This is another story based on a remark by Skrtels agent. The press are putting two and two together and have been all summer.

20M? Sell sell sell....

Johnson & Wayne Bridge as a sweetener.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Well take Johnson, and a few sachets of Splenda, as the sweetner, you keep Bridge.

They spent £24m on Lescott
We should hold out for more

20 mil yes please!!!!!

Although he was probably our best defender last year, he has alwasys been rash in the tackle, and isn't as cultured as agger, I for one would bite their hand off for that amount and buy a decent replacement and a much needed top striker with the money!!!


Yes pleas man city.
