great post thatifiwasarichfan said:I loved AJ.
Out of all our players he was the one who felt most like a City player - in that he was brilliant at times but made really basic errors such as not running back.
All our big guns Yaya,Siva,Tevez,Balo all linked well with him. He scored goals and he was as accurate a passer of the Ball as anyone at the Club.
Mancini didn't want him to leave - he could have stayed here as long as he wanted and become an attacking version of the squad players they have had at the Swamp over the years (O'Shea,Wes Brown,Phil Neville). It seems to me that he has seen losers such as Downing play for England more than him and he has decided he wants 50 + Engalnd Caps.
We went 35 years without winning anything and this Lad has played his part in changing that. True he isn't Yaya or Kompany or Barry but he has definately played his supporting role well.
Anyone who doesn't wish him all the best needs to take a good hard look at themselves.

I'm very dissapointed AJ has left, he had the talent to become a top player, he just needed some tlc and nuturing. Mancini has not treated him right.
So where will the width in our team come from now ffs??.
Scott Sinclair is not the answer. I'm completely underwhelmed.

AJ is a great signing for Sunderland and I know he will fulfil his huge potential there given regular games and confidence.

I wish him well, I hope he goes on to get 50 caps, but you are right that he is the kind of player we used to have. Like Wright Phiilips. He seems like a good lad, but really he's not good enough for a title winning side, not being arrogant or spoilt about it, but he's not good enough for City in 2012.
He's a Match of the Day player - people who don't watch much football and just watch highlights think he's a world beater. I bet his YouTube video would be great, but over 90 minutes in the Premier League he just doesn't do enough. No pace, doesn't want the ball enough, goes missing for large chunks of the game, just doesn't get involved enough. I wish him well, but I won't lose any sleep about him going.

Maybe that's his opinion and he's entitled to it, I too am glad AJ has gone, match of the day player, if there is a definition of one AJ is it. No need to label us who wanted AJ gone as low intelligence as I pretty much bet my IQ I'd considerably higher than yours.

Matt,
Do you watch the games? Width?! See how many players we get down the wings and how often. AJ's problems are a complete lack of pace, no defensive capabilities, a big mouth and a penchant for a night out. NOT Mancini's cup of tea....unless he performs like a world class player, because the REAL ONES ARE treated with kid gloves at times.
He doesn't fit, because he is unwilling to do what is asked of him. Perhaps it is more unable than unwilling, but either way, the job does not get done. Therefore, he is not fit for purpose in a world class squad aiming for the upper echelons of European football.

No the reason was he wanted first team(starting) football and Mancini told him he was not going to be a regular. Mancini has done the right thing for AJ and the club. Sinclair would of been told of his role and is happy to come in. Obviously Sinclair will feel with a lot of hard work and effort he could get a starting role, while I doubt that it may well benefit us more than a very unhappy AJ coming off the benchEddieR said:I'm very disappointed that AJ has been sold. I can only think that there must have an underlying reason, not that he wasn't good enough. Just have a look back at the goals and assists from last season, where the perception is he played very little football. He's a player who can have a real impact on a game and also exciting to watch. I for one hope he's a great success and continues in the England set-up.
Marvin said:This is over-exagerated. I looked on AJ's wiki page last season and he made 38 appearances in all comps for City. He was getting games and a player with his ability had the opportunities to make himself a regular.
Very disappointed he has gone, but I think that was entirely down to the player. In my view he's ducked a challenge. But what do we know as supporters. Views with little insight.
