Kompany was a risky signing at the time though. He had an injury history and had never really found his form at Hamburg.
Poe
Pardew still got that eye for a player I see.
VP.
In other news, both Walcott and Cazorla have signed new deals \o/
Poe
Not a targetman as he's crap in the air and weak as piss, and can't do anything else either.
Shola
Looking forward to seeing Pards and Wickham in Sugar Hut though.
Ninja
Yeah.
Depends on how we structured our deal with Madrid though, we won't have paid it up front and he won't have activated any performance related clauses (except top 4 perhaps) so we might escape relatively unscathed.
Poe
Got 10 assists and 3 goals or something didn't he?
Ninja
Nah his numbers weren't. Think he got a few more assists than that even.
But we didn't win anything last season, so its hard to think that any team related clauses would have been activated, he didn't score many goals, and he didn't play many minutes. Even if we didn't put any sort of those clauses all of these deals are structured payments over a course of years in Euros, so the relative strength of the pound now means we will shell out less than we would have.
We'll end up 'only' losing €10m on the two deals in the worst case scenario. Probably a lot less than that.

I reckon Benzema will be in the Prem soon.

Elsewhere, Palace close to signing Bakary Sako, who could be good as he's a player with Prem qualities. Meanwhile, Leroy Fer has failed a medical at Sunderland. Impressive. Although given his luck in England so far, it means the Mackems have a better chance of staying up already.
Ninja
That was never really the problem with Dzeko though.
Based Jorge
Sam
Disappointing how it worked out and that he wasn't up for it, especially after all his comments at the beginning of the summer about wanting to improve in his second season at the club etc. Going to go down as one of the biggest flops.
Carroll.
Sam
The fact he was a British record fee is going to keep him high up on the list of flops. He had a good start but he was too inconsistent.
Shame he's acted like a dick with his move to PSG, but oh well. Losing £10-15M on him isn't a disaster.
Incoming Pedro?

The plan at the moment seems (it's too soon to say for certain, obviously) to be to play 4-3-3 with Aguero, Bony and Kelechi Iheanacho as the strikers and Sterling as the back-up. A more senior striker would strengthen us but I think it's a position worth ignoring, especially if it means we are actually going to give a young player a chance in competitive matches.
To be honest, my comment wasn't really about talent, I was surprised somebody thought Dzeko and Jovetic were a good fit for City. Dzeko has had four years to prove himself and hasn't done so fully, and Jovetic has never looked remotely like he fitted in. Bony ain't all that but he seems like a better fit than either of those two.
Carroll.
