No the Romanian keeper they just signed. Costel Pantilimon. He stands around six-six and shows good reaction times and lateral movement.

having a left-footed and right-footed AM duo creates a bunch of attacking possibilities

now leads the question of who plays centrally, and which F pairs with dzeko (likely kun)

i'm assuming sneijder plays centrally with silva flanking him on the left and johnson/toure/milner on the right

i'm curious if sneijder moves back to the central distributor role in front of the DM

While i love sniejder i just dont see this working out without tevez going the other direction. Sneijder is asking 240,000 a week which city cant absorb without tevez moving out. I also dont see it working out finding time for yaya, silva, et al. I suppose you could put silva on the wing but he has really shined in the center. Honestly i think we might be better waiting until january. Sure we need depth for silva but i just dont know how this will work.

I wonder if this means Sturridge will be on the market?

As far as Sneijder goes...He had a great season, during the CL run...other than that, very underwhelming...

Sturridge is really putting his career at risk by not leaving Chelsea, he's on the verge of the England sqaud and if doesn't get 1st team fotball all of his work at Bolton is for nothing....how long is he going to stay and fight for a place he's never had while Chelsea bring in new signing after new signing

There was a rumor a little while ago of Sturridge to Spurs for Modric.

As an even swap? Seems like a horrible deal for Spurs.

City is kind of blowing up their attack, no? Silva and Sneijder seemingly going to set up Kun and Dzeko. Is there even room for Wario? I wonder if Tevez will go to Inter in this scenario. And who knows what will happen to Adebayor.
