Really?! :shock:

Never would have expected that. Obviously he's a good player but it's only one season and I wouldn't say he was top 4 good.

It's not only one season though he was top scoring midfielder in la liga the season before to be fair to him , do.t think we'll sell this season though , well I hope we don't :?

Yeah I get he was top scoring midfielder in La Liga but that doesn't always translate across leagues that well and there's been plenty of cases of players carrying on with the form of their old league and then tailing off on latter seasons.


Not saying Michu will be like that but you'd still say he's a bit of a risk for the price I'd expect you to demand.

I think he'll go and Swansea will replace him with Bony and another player and be stronger.

I think buying a "risky" player for the likes of man city is a whole different level than the likes of us , they chucked 7.2 away on Scott Sinclair and he struggled in his first prem season

Pellegrini has been watching over him for quite sometime both in La Liga and had close eyes on him in his first season in the PL, he needs to find someone to replace Tevez and I think Michu would fit the bill

Yeah bu that entire transfer window was probably the worst by a club in the prem era.

I think they're trying to be a bit more sensible with thy're money now.

Resigned myself to the fact that there would be interest in him last season. Had a great season for us, and in Spain the year before...

On the funny side, just seen a guy wearing the new shirt, and shorts, with Michu printed on the back!!! As a sat here thinking to myself "FFS! Grow up!", I look on here and read this, cheered me up a bit.

But a player that scored 15 ? From midfield in la liga and 22 for us last season obviously isn't a mug also shows how versatile he can be , the guy is class and he has such a winners mentality on the field its incredible

No I guess it's not a massive surprise he did well in the prem. Can't see him scoring more than the low tens next year though, especially if you get an orthodox striker to play in front of him.

Don't get me wrong I do rate him, he was the only thing keeping me within touching distance of second last in work's fantasy football league :shock: :lol:

Obviously I don't watch him week in week out, mostly just MotD highlights and maybe the odd live match so you'll know far more about whether he could make the step up to a top team than me.

As much as i hate to say it from what I've seen he's class and could do a job for man city no problem.
