Can't see us going for konoplynka, when we have more players to choose from in summer. if he's a genuine target and will come at a cheaper price than january with less time remaining on his contract then would it not make sense to go for him. especially if spurs join the chase for him. agree though that we should capitalise on champions league qualification if we make it. when city finally made it they had the chance to bring in the bigger names like aguero and we should follow suit. i know we won't have the cash to bring in someone similar but at least there will be a bigger pull for all of the bigger names we've lost out on in the recent past With Spurs apparently ready to match our bid, don't think he will come cheaper. His owner for sure will sell to the highest bidder.

or we bid the same and make the player choose. He's said already that he prefers us.

Unfortunately i think there's only one Baresi and after seconds thoughts i think he could be too old for FSG. Then let's get Schnellinger instead, and by the way, there are two Baresi's, brothers actually.

Our under-21s are currently 2nd in the league just behind Fulham by two points, and they have a game in hand. I think we have enough players for the future now, and we have plenty of developing talent already on the books. Need 3 or 4 top quality players who can slot in and improve our first 11. Specifically the midfield and the full back positions. Means nothing, really. Will Fulham win the league in a couple o seasons from now just because they're top of the under 21 league?

No, but our U21 players are a lot less likely to be poached by bigger teams, so if they're good, we can expect to see them play for the first team in the future.
