SWP's back said:You don't think he ever acted like a twat then?
Your opinion only.
Depends on what you consider to be 'twatty' so to speak.
Ade had one full season at City (09/10). His goal scoring record was pretty good for a guy who'd been to the ACON and been through the trauma he went through there, and had two ridiculous 3 game bans.
He came back for pre season last season and became persona non grata with Mancini. I guess this is where the fiction about him being a 'twat' comes from. Suddenly he was lazy, had a bad attitude, etc. I'm sure there's an element of truth in it, in the sense that he probably gave up giving a shit once it became clear that Jo had moved ahead of him in the pecking order and he realized that Mancini wasn't going to give him a chance.
Don't get me wrong. Mancini should have 100% control over team affairs, so I've got no gripe with him as a manager saying "I don't fancy that player" and moving them on. However the revisionist way in which any player who Mancini decides to sell suddenly becomes a "twat" with a "bad attitude" is more than a bit sad and sums up the fickle nature of some football supporters.
