Am I getting this right? Billy is arguing that people are making errors of judgement because they have an obsession with slating a manager?

BillyShears said:BobKowalski said:BillyShears said:Mancini's record at City of giving youth it's head is shipping Nedum out on the basis that Boyata is better. Boyata then got himself sent off against Arsenal and was never seen again. Other than that - he's done fuck all for the young players coming through at our club. To be fair to him, it may well be that they're all just not good enough. My point is more in relation to the myth which is peddled by those obsessed with Hughes - which goes along the lines of: "Mancini brings through young players. Hughes would never had done that. He sent Hart out on loan, and Mancini recalled him" as if that one act makes him Arsene Wenger...
Why does everything always go back to Hughes?
Picking Hart over Given was a big call and using Boyata in some key games was similar. The fact that he took Boyata out of the firing line was sensible given that everyone was lobbing bricks at Boyata and the potential was there to do more harm than good if Mancini persisted with him. Its a judgement call and one that Mancini is paid to make.
Playing Mario in the FA Cup SF was also a big call since pretty much everyone thought it would be a disaster but it paid off. Other times it won't but it is fairly clear that if Mancini thinks the player is good enough he will play him irrespective of age.
You do need to start bringing some balance to this Mancini obsession. I can understand you loathe the guy and would like to see the back of him - I felt the same about Hughes - but endless bitching isn't the answer. Plus you have to remember that on the last three major issues - Frank, Hughes and Mancini you have been on the wrong side of the argument. Its time to call it a day and come in from the cold. Its time to kneel at the alter of the one true faith and accept the body of your saviour and lord.
All hail Roberto Mancini
Amen

Edit: Not to mention, who made Zaba, Kompany really come good in the first place? De Jong even.
Kolarov was wanted by RM at the time, Boateng's going to Bayern Munich. If they didn't adapt well, fair enough - but they're good players.
Contrast with RSC for £17m.
Anyway, stop this shite Billy. You don't like him, we get it. Stop trolling.

jjeangi said:Why'd you leave off the rest of Hughes' signings?
Because the guy said Hughes can't pick a player. Was just pointing out four CORE players of our team last season were picked by Hughes.
Mancini singings. You've just struck two off the list.
AJ
Marwood signing.
Older and slower than my mum. Did his job but hardly quality scouting required.
Kolarov
What a waste of money.
Mario Balotelli
Potential. So far, just potential. Don't get me wrong - I adore Mario. For me, signing him is the best thing Mancini has done since he arrived at City.
Jerome Boateng
See Kolarov.
David Silva
Top top player. Top top signing. Hardly took a scouting genius to know that though.
Yaya Toure
See David Silva. Also...Yaya's a player Hughes had tried desperately to sign 12 months earlier.
Milner
Marwood signing.
Edin Dzeko
Jury's out for now...

I heard Mancini just asked around, and one of his 'trusted friends who watches a lot of football' put him onto Silva.

Because I really like BK even if do disagree with him. He's an intelligent and articulate man who always has something interesting to say...
You could really learn a lot from him...<br /><br />-- Sat Jul 02, 2011 7:57 pm --<br /><br />

I believe it's Serchi - although I'm sure Mancio or one of our other native Italian speakers will now for sure...
