Aleksandar Kolarov

[Danish Blue]

No it's not.

Sorry wrong thread, arguments is next door, this is needlessly slagging off City players with a host of medals and general flapping.

Zabaleta was probably the best right back in the country for 2 seasons, possibly 3. Kolarov has never even been the best left back at City and his competition has been Clichy.

Maybe Zaba had a couple of top seasons in the 9 he had here, but the game left him behind at least a season ago and injuries hit him at just the wrong time. Kolarov is a different kind of player. IMHO, a better footballer. To each their own.

Brilliant! Python-esque!

We don't need any Python-esque stuff, we already have the surreal comedy that is you insisting that Kolarov has been a better player for us than Zabaleta.

Is Kolorov actually going? I assume we'd let him go for free if he could get fixed up elsewhere. 3 or 4 year deal will do it for Alex.

I can only think he's been told to look seen as he's been talking about lazio.

I think I get what he's saying. Kolarov is technically a very good footballer and it could be argued in that regard he's better than Zabba but obviously you have to take into account the whole package and what each player brought to the team. In that respect it's not even close.

Can't see him going myself he won't get paid anywhere what he's on with us.

Aye but consider if he leaves next Summer when he's 32, what kind of contract is he going to get?

Random speculative numbers, but says he's on £100k/week now for 1 year, maybe next Summer he can get a 2 year contract on £40k/week.

If he goes this Summer, maybe he can get the rumoured 4 year contract on £60k/week, plus a signing on fee.

He'd be better off and more secure in the second scenario.

I guess he has to balance one year with us versus 3 or 4 years elsewhere. If hes on 100k a week with us - thats 5 milion but if he can get 60k per week for 4 years elsewhere - it might be worth a move.
