I've been trying to replicate this Napoli style of play on FM

When the patch comes out I'm going for it 100%

Somebody break it down for me

3-4-3 or 3-5-2 with full backs?

counterattacking style?

Its a 3-4-3

After reading this I wonder if Wenger should have taken a look at this too...

[The New Diaby]

You get the feeling that Drogba has no heart for this competition now.

Looks the sort of guy who would be content with 20 games a season on 90k a week playing for a mid table team i.e Marsielle.

He's on the verge of going out in his career now.

No heart for this competition, been there, done it etc etc

Rameries aka Dangelo Barkesdale lol

Carlos Tevez has today apologised to all concerned for his recent conduct.

The striker returned to the football club last Tuesday, following a three month absence from duties, without permission.

Carlos said, “I wish to apologise sincerely and unreservedly to everybody I have let down and to whom my actions over the last few months have caused offence. My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City Football Club.”

Carlos has also withdrawn his appeal against the Club’s finding of gross misconduct which was due to be heard by a Premier League panel in the coming days.

He has since begun a training program designed to return him to optimum fitness.

Tevez aka dat nigga aka aquarian warrior aka thT GUY

[Rsonist]

Apart from Hernandez, who does 95% of his movement in the box, I can't think of anyone with movement as watchable as Cavani's.

Adebayor, meanwhile, twisted his knee in training last Friday, and is now a major doubt for Sunday's game against his former employers at the Emirates Stadium.

WEST HAM LOL

West Ham failed with loan bids for strikers Fernando Torres and Carlos Tevez in January, co-chairman David Gold has told BBC Sport.

The Hammers asked to take 27-year-old Torres from Chelsea for one to two months but their approach was rejected.

Manchester City were approached three times about bringing Tevez, 28, back to Upton Park, said Gold.

“We couldn't have afforded to pay all his [Tevez's] wages but we would have done a deal. We would love to have taken him for the rest of the season”

David Gold

"We had two irons in the fire. If we'd pulled one off it would have been exciting but it wasn't to be," he said.

The Championship side inquired about the Premier League stars before they signed striker Nicky Maynard from Bristol City and fellow forward Ricardo Vaz Te from Barnsley.

"At the time this was happening, we hadn't made any signings," said Gold.

"We weren't scoring goals and we felt that Torres was a bit out of favour at the time and we thought maybe Chelsea would let Torres go for a month or two to let him get his sharpness back. It was more of an enquiry than a bid.

"They were playing him as a bit-part. We desperately needed a striker and we also believed he would be lethal in this division so it could have been a good thing for both clubs."

European Championship and World Cup winner Torres has been a shadow of his former self since joining Chelsea from Liverpool for a British transfer record £50m in January 2011.

In his first half-season at Stamford Bridge he scored once in 18 appearances, coincidentally against West Ham, while this season the Spaniard has made 21 appearances (eight as substitute), scoring four goals.

Gold said co-chairman David Sullivan had worked hard in an effort to secure Tevez, who has not played since a row with City manager Roberto Mancini in September.

"At one time we really thought they might go along with the idea which was to take the responsibility of keeping him fit," said Gold.

"We couldn't have afforded to pay all his wages but we would have done a deal. We would love to have taken him for the rest of the season."

The Argentine striker was a Hammers fans' favourite when he helped the club survive relegation in the 2006-07 season before moving to Manchester United.

Tevez was a fans' favourite during his time at Upton Park

He joined Manchester City in 2009 for £25.5m on a five-year contract and made an immediate impact, scoring 29 goals in his first season and 24 the next as City qualified for the Champions League for the first time.

However, his relationship with the club has since soured after he refused to come on during a Champions League game against Bayern Munich last September.

He was subsequently suspended and fined four weeks' wages (reduced to two weeks' following intervention by the Professional Footballers' Association) by the club before travelling to Argentina, where he remained, without City's permission, from 7 November until he returned to Manchester last week.

Despite his difficulties at City, Tevez remains a sought-after player. He was linked with moves to Inter Milan, AC Milan and Paris St Germain during the transfer window but nothing materialised.

"Sometimes you need to bring in somebody like him. He would have lifted the crowd and kept morale high," said Gold.

Gold added that despite missing out on Torres and Tevez, he was happy with the club's transfer business, especially the capture of Maynard, who scored 46 goals in 131 games for Bristol City since joining them from Crewe in July 2008.

"Maynard was our target and he came to us on the last day, and I think he's going to be special," he said.
