Possible Signings.

De-Rossi, surely we'd have got get rid of 2 or 3 to make way for him but the experienced 29yr old could be a decent buy imo.

Zaha, only a kid but has the talent. Not one for me, i think we need tried and tested players at City....let the Arse have him i say.

Willian, at 24yrs old could be a good buy imo. Has the experience of CL success (well, more than we've had anyway) and has scored his fair share of goals too. Waiting til the summer could work in our favour, it gives us time to get rid of some riff raff.

I know this is all paper talk so i'll take it with a large pinch of salt, but would you like to see any of these in a City shirt any time soon?

Don't want Zaha, reminds me of Adam Johnson in a lot of ways, easily marked out of the game. Di Rossi could be a decent signing, can play the De Jong role quite well, Willian Looks pretty hot, best out of the 3 you mentioned I think

Di Rossi - doesn't really fit who we are supposed to be after. Big transfer fee for a 29yo with little sell on value and wages of £150K+ p/w.

Zaha is interesting as he does have a few tricks and looks like he has some pace. But he's done most of his work in the Championship against inferior opposition. If he make the step up to prem and then champs league, at £15M he'd be worth it. Where would that leave Sinclair though? There is talk of loaning Zaha back to Palace which is good for his development, but doesn't help our current squad.

Willian is another interesting one, but maybe wait until the summer.

What do we really need? Our defence looks stable enough with Zabba, Vinnie and Nasty looking good.

I think we need a winger that can readily go past people and put in killer crosses. Ronaldo and Valencia spring to mind though I'm not saying we should be going for them. All I want is someone who can skin his man and put a dangerous cross in.

Good comparison john, that definately isn't a path i want to go back to.

We've been crying out for a winger since Peter Beagrie Dawg (lol) and still haven't been able to find a decent one (and yes i'm including Sweep in that list too ).

Thing is, i reckon he's looking at de-Rossi ahead of all these.

It depends what happens in January for me and whether Balotelli and Dzeko are staying. I really like Edin, but I'm feeling sorry for him when he starts a game and the team is setup exactly the same as if Tevez was playing. They are completely different players and we need to change our build up play I we want to start with Dzeko.

The other side of that is I can't see him being happy being purely an impact sub, he would want to play more regularly. Either we need to get someone else in so that we can feed the ball to the strikers in the right way, or I wouldn't be surprised if Dzeko moves. In that case, another striker is probably on the cards.

I live 2 miles from Selhurst Park and many of my friends are Palace fans and even they say Zaha is great on his day but disappears a lot of the time, he is another sweep, he does it sometimes but a lot of the time he's a passenger, do we need that again?

No thanks to Zaha or De Rossi.

Zaha is too raw, we don't need him, we have Sinclair to warm the bench.

De Rossi, may look the part now but in the PL he will show his age for sure.

Silly signing, too old, massive wages, I would rather try and get Marouane Fellaini above anyone else.

I would have wanted Dembele aswell before Spurs stole in.

i wanted dembele and was surprised that we got rodwell and garcia when dembele would have done what we needed comfortably.

He would also have been a good replacement for yaya when he goes away in january.

Judging by the way Yaya has played lately, he's already away!
