Aleksandar Kolarov

Those who want him out with such passion look like being disappointed, since he's been named in our CL squad for the qualifying game, it means we must be quite confident that he isn't leaving in the next 2 weeks. Of course he could go after that, but if he plays in the qualifier, he'll be cup tied thereafter I assume, which removes our ability to sell him to another CL team, and I can't see him going to a club not in Europe because of his wages.

Break it gently why don't you.
My eyes must be playing tricks on me - he look utter gash from the stands.

We can all play that game, here's Clichy letting Enner Valencia run past him for the first goal, where's all that pace of his?

Clichy is also prone to mistakes, that's no secret, there's a reason why everyone said that leftback was by far our worst position going into this summer. Kolarov is however the worst out of the two, which is why he's being put on the chopping block.

He wouldn't be cup tied. You can play for a club in the qualifiers and a different club from the group stage onwards.

Here is the perfect example of why many don't like him

Yet we defended Barry to the hilt when he got done by Ozil.

How many times have Zaba and Kompany screwed up without people getting on their backs?

Screwed up or just not bothered?

Clichy or him both are limited add to the list sagna ( going forward ) and right now zabaleta

there is an urgent need to adress those positions otherwise ... its not a rocket science. yes general public and fans we are not specialist we are not managers but sometimes its obvious to figure out the weak links

I imagine our hopes of selling him to a side in the Champions League are fairly slim anyhow unless it's someone from Norway.

If you like the guy: lapse in concentration

If you don't: couldn't be arsed.

Although under both pellegrini and mancini I've seen our top players seemingly "not bother" at times. Real at home. Wigan final.

So, if it's so obvious, why do you think we aren't buying full backs ? My guess is the manager and DOF decided their were more important areas to address. Fullbacks will wait until next summer.

I see it from Kolarov most of the time.

He's had some decent periods, usually lasts around six games or so, where he's looked up for it but then he just reverts back to can't be bothered Kolarov.
