I'm kind of happy and kind of not. The arrivals of Fernando and Mangala are great , but I'm disappointed at Negredo leaving

They are good signings but I was too slightly confused by Negredo's exit. He's only been there a year and seemed to settle in quite well, as well as you can in Man city anyway. He was one of 4 important forwards needed by the team for all their competitions. 

Maybe it was just a case of he wanted first team football and this loan move was right for him.

I feel the same way about Gaston Ramirez, I think he's a great player but he hasn't shown it playing for us. I'm sad to see him go on loan but I am hoping he will return edom his loan to Hull a stronger player after getting more first team football.



Hmm, pie.

Everyone happy with their teams transfers this period? I'm happy but then it seems getting rid of bad blood who might only disrupt the team because of their 'Dreams' is only a good thing and we are £30mil up (Southampton).

You guys made a good deal with Tadic.. Quality player.. Pelle I have to see if he can make in the PL.. Alderwereld is also a good player



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)

That's the only real thing I can think of for Negredo, maybe he just got homesick and wanted to go back to Spain, who knows.

Ramirez was a little odd as well, understandable that he went out on loan somewhere, but it's just a bit odd that it's to Hull.

Yeah, maybe he did. Negredo is a great player. Homesick would be an obvious answer.

I think Ramirez actually likes it in the UK (he might change his mind after living in Hull. :P), but Hull needed to strengthen if they want to stay in the Prem as a lot of clubs are putting in some competition. It's perfect for Gaston if he gets the games. It's the same thing for Ben Arfa. A quality player not being given the opportunity at his actual club so takes a loan to get himself noticed and moving again at a slightly lesser club (although I think Hull might finish higher than Newcastle this year).



Hmm, pie.

Well, if you bring a B team you can't expect an A result. It's just sad because we're not playing badly. Those 2 conceded goals were about as unnecessary as the existence of Gomez.

I guess so, but I was expecting a 1-1, maybe a 2-1 at worst!  Hopefully Germany will score at least once!

ugh, why couldn't this have been the result in the final?

Because in the final we had skill on the field ;)
