Mancio said:BillyShears said:Sorry mate, but I disagree with all of that vehemently. On every level. Firstly, I'm arsed about what Arsenal fans thought of Ade. They are a shocking fanbase when it comes to supporting their players (worse than our supporters if that's possible).
His record last season is 24 league appearances 14 goals - baring in mind the fact that he dealt with the massacre at the ACON, that he was wrongly sent off and banned for the Arsenal incident and the incident at Stoke, that record is excellent.
Saying he went missing towards the end of last season is negative spin - please name one player who in the last quarter of last season played above their capabilities....I'll answer for you - not one. We were average in that run in, from back to front, so to single out Ade is at best unfair, and at worst calculated to get the supporters on his back even further than they are now.
He's an example of Hughes' dreadful buying policy? And who makes up the spine of Mancini's team? Hughes players....
Very disappointed that Ade's being scapegoated by quite so many people. Mancini's clearly got his favourites and Ade isn't one of them , and for that reason I accept he'll probably leave. But lets see some perspective and some facts rather than just emotional rhetoric...
would be interesting if you tell us who the Mancini's favorites are.
and also why they are so favourites..
Well Vieira is one of his favourites in my opinon and to answer your second question, I have no idea why because he is absolutely shit. It is difficult to work out who Mancini likes and why. It seems a bit random at times and there are certainly contradictions.
